Jack laughed and I smiled at him. Still a child. I like that childishness. Wish everyone could posses that. I picked him up and kissed him. I tried to wipe the marker off of my face but no use. It just kept spreading. Iris had taken Rebecca before me. I was glad for him.

But it was not going to end for me. Neither was it going to end for Annie. Or Jack even. I can't make out the exact reasons of these happenings but I can tell that it was something our parents left behind. I tickled Jack until he fell off of my lap. I love him.

******

"Be a good boy!" I told him and he nodded. This cute boy is my life. He doesn't speak much. Mrs. Watson came closer to him and took him in. I smiled one last time and turned on my heels.

Now that Jack is not with me I am going to get my life for being a b*tch. I have to find out about these people, but for that I would have to first find out about mom and dad. And of course the real purpose of that inside war.

Back then when mom and dad died. They weren't the only one. Many people went missing and I am sure that it has a basic base to it. A core to it and I am going to dig it. I drove back home and found myself in the study or storage room as I called it earlier.

I turned on the lights and shuffled between the papers. I found a few stacks of files in between of the news papers. Columbia house raid, Antonio Alfonso died, Jackson Paul divorce certificate. All use less. Jackson Paul divorce certificate. Mom and dad were divorced. What a joke?

Wait! Divorce certificate. My mind snapped back and the file was in my hands again.

Husband and Wife were lawfully married on Jackson Paul and Marian Julian, at Abu Dahbi (city), in the County of Dubai. Because certain problems have developed between Husband and Wife, they hereby agree to live separately and apart, subject to the terms and conditions as set forth below.

My eyes travelled across the paper confusing me even more than I was. It's probably someone else's. Mom's name wasn't Marian. I have to wait for something to strike or I can just sneak up to Iris and wait for something to strike.

Alex. Think. There is something you could do. Wait is something I can do. I wish I could think of something else. Think Alex. I moved to and fro the room.

I flopped on the sofa in irritation. If had known the purpose of all this it would make some sense. But here I am in the middle of nowhere. last time it was Jack. The reason I went into that chaos. Now it is only me. That's why it's no reason to me.

At last I went to go out for some fresh air so it could cool my mind a little bit. I uncapped the bottle in my hand and took a few sips. I like living my life this how. I stayed away from the park that I don't get hurt. I don't know why it gives me weird feelings.

My legs without my direction sped in the way of my teachers house. Yes! My teachers house. I smiled in victory over that. Wow! My legs know what I am wanting right now.

A few footsteps were heard. Wait! Is someone coming again. I can call myself an expert on detecting if a person is going to come at me. I took the warning of my dear 'Annie detectors' and jumped off the sidewalk landing on the cold and chilly asphalt.

A girl dashed in front too late for her to realize I am no longer standing there. Oh! Shit it's her. I turned on my feet and ran the opposite way. You should always run zigzag to lose a crocodile. I heard the book say. I listened to it and ran into an alley. If I knew what is happening it would be a lot more fun.

She dashed behind me and I ran for my sanity. She clawed me but I managed to escape. After a while I realized she was faster at the turns and I should make a little variation. The cold wind hit my face and I let it blow across. I looked up ahead and saw few garbage tins.

I ran towards them as fast as I could. On nearing them I curved my path at them but retreated. "Oh! So you think I would fall for that." She shouted and I kicked a tin up ahead. She jumped over it and I turned around and ran back. This is hectic.

Oh! Mario where do you run when a bitch's chasing you and you don't know where you have to go. I don't even have a princess. Oh! Wait. Annie's there. Ok! That's my last option but it's better than running aimlessly.

And suddenly I realize I don't know where I am and I need to process it, if it's in my memory. She raced behind me. Point to be noted. She did trip over the tins when she was coming back.

Victory to me. My legs took me faster than an actual notice. She was catching up to me but I was not going to let that happen. My hands had a strong grip, I must have mentioned.

When she neared me I made sure I was in a ninety degree position. There was a she over a sop up front. I grabbed its bar and flipped. Girl not time for bar dance. She ran ahead not noticing what happened. I took advantage of this situation and came back down.

I lowered myself and let my leg strike her and take on my legs again. I dashed forward but she wasn't fazed by the kick but I was instead. She used a good posture there. The position of her foot as if I hit her it wouldn't affect her but me instead.

I have finally warmed up. I run fast as I could. She is a really sharp one for the villains. I thought they were supposed to die from a needle.

She caught me with my hoodie but I took it off and ran straight- least I tried to. She must have seen it coming because she had my shirt in her grip. Can I include my bra in the list. It's rude to honk a lady, child! Someone should have said that to her when she used to do that in childhood.

She pulled me into her and I kicked her. At least I tried to. Let me say this at least. All of my struggle would remain in a form of struggle herein. Thank you!

"It would have been better if I would have known the purpose of the action." I demanded and she smirked. I can tell her expressions. She closed up to my ear. Deadly close. "And you would, baby pretty soon." She told me and pecked my cheek.

How dare you call me a baby you-***. Chick
