"Did you get the last pieces John? I'm missing a few." I overheard Kevin talking to his brother, assuming that they have all the pieces to their new puzzle that Matthew just bought it from the store so that Kevin won't be bored while Harry is away on an important business meetings with Mr. Filtch.

"You used all of them, Kevin." Said John while peeking in through the big box of the Jack in the box puzzle cases that they were having fun with.

"No I didn't. We're missing a few, unless this puzzle is a bust." He said reassuring him.

"Don't judge me Kevin, I know what I'm talking about." Said John.

"Karl, have you seen any puzzle pieces around here?" Kevin asked him with a suspicious look that I caught was on his face at his twin brother.

"I didn't see any puzzle pieces here, Kevin. Maybe they walked away from you to the ends of the earth, and they haven't came back home to us yet." I heard Karl tell him shying away from him with a grin as he faced me and gave me a wink, and showed me that the rest of the puzzles pieces that he had were in his left and right front pockets of his jeans.

I looked away from him, and rolled my eyes up to the ceiling. John was done playing with the puzzle that they were trying to finish in the game room but they didn't finish it. Kevin was getting mad and frustrated about this puzzle, he shoved the box away from him. I saw John got up from his knees and went over to go downstairs to the kitchen, and take a full break.

"This puzzle is dumb." Kevin grumbled as he sighed afterwards, got up from his knees and followed after John to go get a small drink from the fridge.

"When are you gonna stop doing that to him?" I asked Karl, he didn't seemed to be paying any attention to me as much as I thought he would.

"Doing what?" He asked.

"Playing with him." I said.

"He'll figure it out soon, give him time to see it my way." Karl replied and walked off into the other rooms of the video game control rooms.

"Whatever." I said and walked out of this room to head downstairs, only to find what I didn't see familiar was strange before my eyes.

***

Kevin, John, and Matthew were all tied up and fast asleep. Janet was not here, even if she wants to be. Who did this to you?... I thought. Then I thought again, until the silence ended with another surprise that was something that I had not seen in for such a long time.

"Nice house that you got here. I thought that it would be much bigger than what they're usually supposed to look like on this forsaken hell of a red, then a green and blue heavenly planet..." I heard a familiar voice tell me. Which was really not that hard to recognize after a fashion, after what I did to him.

"What are you doing here Pablo? By the way it's not my house, it's theirs that you're standing in if you catch my drift. Plus, if you're looking for another challenge against me and my friends, then forget it. I kind of know who's gonna lose to our victories anyway." I said firmly as I turned around and saw Pablo walking in from a dark hallway and then leaning up against the edge of the kitchen walls to rest his feet.

"Too bad. It would be a shame if Janet were not here to see you say something like that so bravely at me. I wouldn't matter or mind it too much. I only came back here for a race, James." He replied with another grin after an angry glare. He stood up back on his feet.

"Still not doing a race or challenge, Pablo. Forget it." I said while walking away in disgust over to the living room and crossing my arms.

"Why not? Afraid to lose?" He asked me while grinning an awful smile across his ugly face.

"That, and many innocent lives might be in danger. So yeah, I'm not doing it whatever you tell me or even think of what I should do about it." I said as I still turned away without looking at him, I knew that he came back for a rematch, or something, whatever he was selling, I was not buying it. I'm not doing anything for him after what he tried to do to me and my friends.

"It's not a choice James, it's a deal or no deal. Take it or leave it in a different kind of way in my opinion. Take it, the race will begin in the starlight village and your friends will be safe if you participate and even live. If you leave it and or walk off without even having to participate in this race, your friends, the people in starlight village and on earth, will be totally destroyed and my kind will take everything away by force for good. Including everything and everyone that you ever cared about will be gone!... Now, you can either accept that, or-- heh, well... You know the rest." Pablo said at last. I was silent for a moment. In shock, desperation, anger, and in anxious annoyance and just stuck on how I should really plan all of this out.

"Final answer, dearest brother?...." Pablo asked me. Demanding me for some kind of response that he thinks I will either do the first or the last. It depends on wither I do want to make a deal with him or not. If I do make a deal with him, we'll all be safe if I participate in his stupid race, but if I don't... I looked at my friends, then I looked back at my only brother.

"Deal!..." I replied in defeat, while shaking my hands with him.
