Battling Demons: My Undying Love

Two Dads

I had always considered myself the reason why mom left. If I wasn't that strong as I was, Mom would have probably been around right now. I haven't heard from her ever since that night. That cold and windy night.

Well back to the issue of twelve year old me. If eight year old me was able to bring a tall and large door, made from the strongest wood in the world, crumbling down, what makes it hard to crush the skull of a fifteen year old. I really should have thought about this before going down there to have 'fun'.

At the moment of shock, I heard the sounds of sirens heading towards the school. Many cars had parked in front of the school, most of which were police vehicles and five white Toyota Rav 4's which looked quite familiar.

"Mr. Charles!"

Everyone was shocked to have seen the middle aged man who had nicely styled his grey hair making him look quite fashionable, at a school and also right after the police had been called in by the people gathered.

Several of the people gathered refered to him as Charles Vindick. His bodyguards clad in white walked towards the crowed to disperse them from viewing the scene any further.

Mr Charles then signaled the police to join his men to disperse the crowd, and asked one of them to put me in one of the police cars.

I really didn't understand what was going on. Samuel's body was placed in a body bag while I was dragged to the car.

"Duck" The police officer helped me into the car with handcuffs around my wrists.

I could tell from everyone's face that they were completely surprised to see what was happening. Most of them completely forgot about the situation with Samuel and concentrated on the man who had appeared in white while others shivered to the bone on seeing such a horrid sight.

When I turned to look at Kim, he wasn't looking like the rest. He seemed to have been astonished, surprised, shocked. I really couldn't tell his expression but I was sure it wasn't the look of someone who was horrified by the scene. That kinda gave me comfort.

At this moment, three other black vehicles arrived and a few men in black with dark shades walked out of the cars and one of them which appeared to be their leader walked towards Kim and quickly lowered his head and said respectfully
"Master Kim, your Dad sent us here to come get you".

Kim was then directed to the car which was in the middle of the other cars, a Lexus Lx 600. Before Kim entered the car, my ride was already on the move.

Mr. Charles and the other bodyguards he came along with drove around the police vehicle I was in as though I was the president of the state and I was under attack. But then, here I was sitting at the back of the police car with handcuffs on my wrists. President my ass.

The cars were at high speed on the freeway roads not giving a damn about the cars that were ahead. We then got to an isolated location and that was when the cop got out to uncuff me.

Mr. Charles walked towards the car and bowed
"Master Damon, I'm sorry for putting you at the back seat of this car. It was the only way we could get the people and the media to keep mute about the situation. It's going be a topic of discussion for some weeks and will only reduce after some time".

"Mr. Charles, you really have to stop being too formal with me. I'm still twelve, I'm the one supposed to be polite towards you.
Speaking of polite, why were those people stunned after seeing you? They seemed quite shocked after seeing you arrive at the school".

Mr. Charles chuckled and then looked at me with a smile on his face "I have something to tell you. Your Dad didn't want to tell you until he came back from his business trip. And it seems he's not going to return any time soon.
