"She wants to go home, but nobody's home.
It's where she lies, broken inside.
With no place to go, no place to go to dry her eyes.
Broken inside."

-" Henry, now it's your cue to worry."

Henry replayed the video from Rob's phone many times as he watched Madison's impressive skills in the "Monsters' Arena". Frustrated he tugged at his hair and let out a scream that startled the people present in his office.

-" I don't know what to do with her!" He exclaimed.

-" Why you don't just let her win? You can have someone more in our group then." Josh tried to reason.

-" Yeah, she's smart, and chill when there isn't anybody disturbing her." Marilyn added.

-" I can't keep having winners here. In a year I had 3 winners! I even started to miss the sight of a last breath."

-" Then why you don't just admit weaklings?" Rob asked.

-" I'm not a physic, stupid. I've learned through the years that looks can be deceiving." Henry spat.

-" You're right, greatest example is the girl beside me." Rob said pointing to Marilyn.

-" One more comment and you'll regret it Peters." Marilyn threatened.

-" Ok, so to have a successful Game I need her weaknesses; Things that may leave her unprepared for what's to come. The most important people on her life is her father and best friends right?" Henry said.

-" Um well, she stopped being close to her father but she really values her friends. How you're so accurate?" Marilyn responded.

-" You didn't spilled the beans to the twins for nothing." Henry said wickedly. Marilyn widened her eyes but didn't said anything.

-" Ok children, now leave and think of other situations that can break her emotionally and\or physically. I have work to do." Henry waved them off.

 It was late at night and everything was so quiet the silence was almost annoying. After some little research Henry made some calls to start his most wicked plan. First he called Madison's dad, Robin.

 

-" Hello?" Robin answered.

-" Is this Robin Winters? Madison's father?" Henry asked.

-" Yes, is something wrong with my daughter?" Robin asked a little worried.

-" No no, she's doing just fine. Just got into a little fight once but aside of that she's been a good student." Henry assured.

-" Wow, the school sure does magic. Who's calling anyway?"

-" Mr. Oakley, the headmaster of this boarding school."

-" Oh, my apologies sir. Why you're calling me at this hour?"

-" I'm just making a favor for your daughter. You see, she misses you and she told me you haven't gave a call yet." Henry said making a excellent fake concern.

-" Right, and I apologize. I just got married and between honeymoon and moving plans I've been extremely busy."

-" Where are you moving?" Henry asked curiously.

-" To Rome, it's always been a dream of both my wife and I. Madison was supposed to move with us but Rome is a hard place for her."

-" I see, well why don't you give her a call tomorrow and catch up with her? She'll appreciate it."
