After two days of being unconscious, Solomon finally regained consciousness.

Sarah is eating her breakfast inside Solomon's room, when she heard a voice calling her name. "Sarah?"

She quickly turned her head towards Solomon's bed, and then suddenly, she put down the chicken and vegetable sandwich that she's eating, on top of a small coffee table. She stood up and rushed towards the position of Solomon, and then suddenly, she hugged him like they haven't seen each other for decades.

"Solomon you're awake!" Her tears begun to fall like raindrops, from her eyes down to Solomon's shoulder, because she's very happy his partner already gained consciousness.

"What happened? Why are you crying?" He asked, puzzled of Sarah's behavior.

"You've been asleep for two days, don't you remember what happened?"

"Two days? Are you kidding me?" He replied, surprised of Sarah's answer.

"You almost died from our encounter with Clowny Jones, don't you remember that?"

Solomon paused for a while, trying to remember everything, and process what Sarah just told her. He suddenly stood up from his bed and became angry. "Shit! That bloody demon!" He said.

"Yes, he almost killed us, but your mother teleported us back here at the mansion, and healed you."

"How about you? Are you hurt?"

"No, I am, completely fine. You save me from getting killed."

"Me? Ha-how?"

"Don't you remember?"

"All I know is that, he wounded me badly, and then I crawled towards you, then I passed out, that's all."

"Seriously? You did not remember that you almost killed him?"

"Killed him? How?" Solomon was shocked of what Sarah just told him.

"You raised your hand towards him to protect me from being slashed by his machete, and then seconds before we get hit; a shockwave magically came out from your hands that made him propelled to the wall of your office. He's badly wounded as well, and then after several seconds, he disappeared. After that, I took your cellphone from your pocket and called your father, and then, your mother teleported us back here at the mansion, and healed your wounds."

"Shockwave? Healed me? How?"

"Honestly, I should be the one to ask you those questions, because it's your parents not mine, and you're also the one who shoots shockwave from his hands not me. I promise you, I have no idea of what happened, and until now, I still can't process completely everything that I witnessed."

"Where's Jerry, mom and dad?"

"Jerry is downstairs doing his usual chores, your dad is uhm, not here, he said, he will be attending a wedding of one of his friends, and your mother..."

Solomon's door suddenly opened and Jerry entered inside his room, and then suddenly, he butts in the conversation "Your mother went back to her office in England".

"Yes! Right! She went back in England." Sarah said.

"Oh, I see..." Solomon said, suspicious of Sarah and Jerry.

From that moment, Solomon knew that Sarah and Jerry is trying to hide something from him, however, he is hungry, and for him, eating is more important, than anything after being unconscious for two days.

"I am very hungry right now, is there anything I can eat?"

"Yes, Solomon, Our kitchen staffs prepared pumpkin soup, sandwiches and some vegetables." Jerry answered.

He walked towards his dresser, and asked the two to leave him, and wait downstairs.

"Would you mind leaving me for a moment? I will just change clothes and then I will follow downstairs when I am finish" Solomon requested.

"Are you sure you can manage?" Sarah asked, worried that Solomon still have no strength to change clothes by his own.

"Yes I can thank you."

Sarah and Jerry quickly went outside as per Solomon's request. While walking in the hallway, Jerry whispered to Sarah "Seriously? Lynch's friend's wedding? Are you out of your mind?"

"I don't know what to tell him, I am bad at lying, FYI". She whispered back.

"Come on, you can do better than that, He's not stupid, all of his father's friends are 70 plus years old, who the hell will get married at that age?"

"Well, at least on T.V. shows, there are people at the age of 70, who are still getting married. Besides, it worked, I think..."

"Let's hope so"

Jerry and Sarah stopped talking with each other, after reaching the huge hallway of the mansion. Both are patiently waiting for Solomon to come out of his room. They are very much worried about Solomon; and they both think that if Solomon discovered what really happened to his parents, he will find a way to follow them.
