Author's POV

Timothee didn't let go of his mom's body as he used his power to dial Jake without even touching the phone itself.

"Yeah, what's up?"

Timothee stiffled a sob. "Bring the truck here. It's urgent. Can you bring it?"

"Eee-yup." Jake answered. Popping the 'P' before hanging up. Easy negotiating.

Chris and Carlos didn't dare move an inch closer to Timothee's side of the room for the fear that he might transform out of the blue. Timothee's eyes scanned his mother's face. The shards are embedded like scales and it's a mixture of white and sky blue hue. Smooth and silky to the touch. Unknowingly, a tear escaped his eye.

"She looks so beautiful even in death." He cooed before placing a gentle loving kiss on the forehead. Then there's silence. The rain outside just got worse and fog has built up in some areas of the sewer. What an eventful night it was.

Timothee almost drifted to Neverland when a truck honked three consecutive times outside. Jake.

"Chris. Carlos." He pointed at his father's stretcher and the two immediately knew what he meant. The three of them had their cargo of their own which surprised Jake who's waiting inside the driver's seat.

"What the hell-" He pressed a button and the back silver metal door mechanically elevated. Timothee used his powers to lay his mom down gently and the father's stretcher next. Chris and Carlos joined them to Timothee's mansion.

After a few arrangements, Veronica's crystalized form is placed inside a rectangular glass positioned vertically in the middle of the main hall just below the chandelier. On the right side of the glass is an intricate casket with a see through glass showing Nathan's sleeping face.

"What did Dad do this time?" Jake chuckled in disbelief beside Timothee as they stared at Veronica. The smaller male fished something from his pockets and gave it to Jake.

Jake whistled as he held the object up high where the light bounced back. Causing it to sparkle a little.

"You know, I'm glad I didn't take his surname." Jake dropped the bullet to the ground and crushed it with his boot.

"Don't you want it? It's famous." Said Timothee. He looked up and saw Jake giving him a sour look. The redhead snickered.

"Bleh."

"How's Sherry?" Then Jake's phone buzzed.

"Right about time!" Jake tapped the screen and held his phone close to his right ear. "What's up Sherry pie?"

Timothee rolled his eyes. Pie?

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll be there, mom."

Timothee heard Sherry nag Jake on the other side of the phone. The redhead just mimicked his girlfriend in response. "Yadda-yadda-yadda, love you! I'll smack your butt once I get home."

" JAKE!" Sherry whined. Then they hung up. When Jake turned to Timothee, he was holding back a laugh. " Sorry 'bout that."

Timothee waved his hand to say its ok and they both looked at Veronica one last time before walking away from it. The lickers in Timothee's mansion slowly crept up the ceiling and down the stairs. "Timothee." Jake called out. Timothee stopped in his tracks and peered through his shoulder and his thick curls. "I'm just one call away." Jake caught up to him and gave him a pat on the back before running in the rain and leaving with his truck.

"Timothee, we need to talk." Informed Chris. The sound of an unlocked car boomed two times and two bright headlights flashed in the driveway. "Get in." Timothee walked past him and Carlos. Turns out his car just moved by itself to reach them and they drove back to Waffenranch.

Meanwhile in Waffenranch...

"That thing is starting to spread!".

"Please take my baby! Please take my baby!"

" Get out of the building as fast as you can!"

" My parents are waiting for me!"

Chaos. Total chaos. Dr. Park jogged past the other doctors and nurses either carrying a supply full of medicine or a patient on a wheelchair or stretcher. Things were okay awhile ago but when the clock striked 10 PM, the mold seeped through the doors of Old Murphy's ward and spread across the ceiling and air vents. The first one infected was a mother with her newborn baby. Her screams echoed in the hallways and the sirens went off in a matter of seconds. The doctor in charge started vomiting and hell broke loose. Cars rounded up in the parking lot. People forcefully pushed the doors open and yanked their relatives or friends with them.

"Gather all necessary supplies and tools! Tell everyone we're evacuating the hospital! Make sure every patient is taken to safety, if it's too late may God bless them." Dr. Park announced through the intercoms.

Diana's phone rung and she hurriedly picked it up while aiding a disabled kid in her free arm. "Hello?!" She croaked. "D! Where are you?" Diana sighed of relief. "I'm in the hospital. We're evacuating the citizens. I don't know what's going on and we can't stay here any long—"

Every personel in the hallways ducked and screamed to the sound of firearms coming from the ground floor. "D?! What's going on?!"

"Gunshots Chris! Is it. . ." She stood on her feet and continued walking with the kid. "Is it the BSAA?" Timothee sped up when Diana's line went static on Chris' side and it went off. "Goddammit!" Chris grunted. From a distance, a mushroom-shaped-fire engulfed the night sky. The tallest building which is the grandest hotel in Waffenranch sent out a force field and gradually collapsed. Tumbling like it was stone.

The bioweapon pressed something on his left side of buttons and the compartments that Chris and Carlos didn't know was there—opened. Revealing different guns and ammos. "Get one gun and one carton of ammunition." The two didn't waste time as they followed his command.

Timothee's car darted through the main gates and they saw the commotion around them. People are stashing away their goods in the trunks of their vehicles, stores are being robbed, trees are on fire.

"Oh great." Said Carlos.
