He start walking inside the house, he remembered all the tragedies that happened inside. And his hands form a fist like he want to knock down someone. But he calm, when he knows where to find those people who involved in the crime.

He arrived at the Bar around 11:35 PM and looking for someone.

“Look who’s here?” said the guy who’s holding a tequila glass. “No more talking.” He pointed a gun to guy’s head and *Bang* shot his head.

And crowd inside started screaming and running outside. Four mean started to fight him back, but they failed.

“I got this mom. Trust me.”

And I went inside the car.

“I have a favor for you to do and the compensation of it is to protect you and your mom.”

“I don't need you protection. I can protect my mom--”

“Your dad is still alive.”

he calmly put my hands down.

“I am your dad's bestfriend. And he start crying.” and wipe his tears.

“He is not dead, why he got to the car accident. When I heard about the incident,
I deploy my man to locate where hospital he located.” And there he is.

“He gave me his phone, and take a look to the picture.”

He has a machine already and I know he is safe. But I don't trust this man.
