"Oh it's going to be an amazing day , the sun is out and it's your birthday Aiden." spoke Mrs.Callaghan. Now she was a beauty. Blonde locks cascading down her back with bright green eyes complementing her family heirloom a green emerald locket. Now don't let her sweet innocent features fool you she is the owner of Callaghan Industries , making military grade weapons for the highest bidder. "Don't smother the child Alice he's not a baby anymore are you Aiden?" and that's Mr.Callaghan with his bright red curls and his hazel eyes he's completely different from the Mrs. He's eccentric and vibrant. At first glance you'd think he's crazy. But don't misunderstand his childlike nature for foolishness. He's the sole heir to the family business. Running the Irish Mob is no child's work and when needed Mr.Callaghan can be just as threatening and merciless as the Mrs. "No papa I'm not a baby anymore I'm 12" spoke Aiden Callaghan only child to Mr. and Mrs. Callaghan. With blond and red locks Aiden is a unique child. As smart as a med grad and as intuitive as a fresh detective. The perfect heir for the two business don't you think? Well someone disagrees, standing at the crook of the bedroom door watching the happy family stood Olaf. Olaf is the younger brother of Donny Callaghan (Mr.Callaghan). Angered at not inheriting the family business and then being pushed from the will for Aiden he has reached his breaking point. Leaving the happy family , Olaf goes in search for just the right person for the job he has in mind. Meanwhile our favorite family is getting ready for their party. This is a special event for the family because Aiden is of age to be trusted with the heirloom. A pendent encrusted with the families name and holding a green emerald. What no one else knows is that inside the area with the emerald is a code for a safe. What's inside the safe no one knows, it's only to be opened as a last resort. ( like Merlin with the water of Babylon) Only two people in the world have this code and that's Mr. and Mrs. Callaghan but now only one will. As tradition when the heirloom is passed the original holders take the gem and blend it. Then the holder of the gem will be burned along with the code. "What we are about to give you must be yours forever don't give it to anyone else understand ?" " Yes papa" Giving up the gem in a pendent it is handed over to the next generation of Callaghan's. Already destroying their codes the family goes off to sleep unknown to the lurking dangers.
