3RD PERSON

"Hey mommy and daddy." Sasha almost whispered as she approached her parents grave.

She didn't visit here for a long time. Mainly because Joseph doesn't let her.

"I brought you your favorite cookies. I managed to get them. I had to. I'm so sorry I haven't been here in so long. Joseph is just out of the- yeah, he's- he's gotten even worse with his alcoholism. And I just- I don't think I can keep going anymore. I don't think I can. And I know I need to because of my kids, but I don't think I can. I'm trying so hard.

Kids met some friends, on a brighter side. Those kids are amazing. They're new in the city and live just down our street. They live with their dad, his name is Jaden. I've met him, we actually talked quite a lot.

A lot to the point where I told him about Joseph and I'm scared now that he is going to try to put Joseph in prison. I even almost told him how Joseph is sexually abusing me.

But he figured it out. I don't know what to do. He doesn't understand how dangerous this can be for him and his kids."

Sasha turned around when she heard someone. Her eyes met with Jaden's as he looked at her in shock.

"Jaden? What are you doing here?"
"Oh, uh, I had to see someone-"
"Oh, okay."

Jaden now felt extremely anxious. He wasn't going there to see someone. He was making his own investigation about how he's gonna save Sasha and kids. So he needed to find out more about her parents and the past.

Jaden walked out, going around to probably find a grave he wanted to visit, so Sasha got back her attention to her parents.

"I got a salary increase. Two hundred dollars a month. So my boss will be giving it in envelope, which means I get to save some money." Sasha continued to talk to her parents, before she realized it's really time to go home.

She said bye to them before walking off to her car.

Once she was gone, Jaden was finally able to return to his car. In a way there he found out the date of death on Sasha's parents grave.

Once he got home, he sat at the dining table with his laptop to search up things written about the accident.

"January 29th, 2007" Jaden read the whole article, before searching up to dig into Jimmy's and Jason's history.

He written down some stuff about them on a paper, before searching up the judge Gordon.

"Hey dad."
"Hey kiddo." Jaden said, closing his laptop as he noticed that Sara had books in her hands and a pencil case.

"I need help. Can you help me?"
"Of course, sit here. What's that? Math?"
"Chemistry."
"Oh. Where did it bug?"
"Here. I don't know how to solve it."
"Wait, give me your periodic table." Jaden furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Sara's homework.
"Here." Sara handed it to Jaden, waiting for him to help her.

"You see, here you accidentally swapped atomic numbers which lead you to not being able to solve it."
"Ooh, I did. I'm idiot."
"Shh. Do it again now."

Jaden watched over as Sara did her exercise again from the start. She actually ended up getting the right result.

"There you go. It's good result."
"Thank you dad."
"Of course."

Sara ran back to her room, leaving Jaden alone there as he opened his lap top again.

And it was then that he saw that judge Gordon is going to pension in almost 2 months. "Once he goes off, I only need to pay Jimmy and Jason and Joseph is done." Jaden thought to himself as he wrote that down.
