I made my way through the kitchen of my house to find the piece of paper Paul gave me that tells me where to meet him. I for some reason even checked inside the refrigerator. I was about to lose my mind when i see a hand enter my field of view with a piece of paper. I look up to see Kate standing there holding her hand out.

"Are you heading out to see them?" She said with a mildly serious look on her face. "Are you sure you are going handle the answers you get from them?" I took the paper from her hand and inspected it to see if it was the correct paper. I saw the little note on the bottom about going to his house and i knew it was the right paper.

"Yes that is the plan. I just don't want to know if there monsters or not." I said to her.

"Ok well, Lilly fell asleep while you were out looking for your ghost in the park."

"It wasn't actually a ghost." I said looking in her eyes.

"What do you meen?"

"The man that was talking to lilly was Travis Betton, My grandfather."

"What are you talking about. Isn't your grandfather apart of Asylum?"

"Yes." I say as i walk to the door "Well... I'm heading to the Lowrence's for dinner If i'm not back in three to four hours, send Morgan Freeman and a pizza" i said jokingly

"This isn't funny" She huffed

"Yea" I said grabbing my Motorcycle riding equipment which includes My helmet, My kevlar jacket, and my riding gloves.

i walked out the door where my sportsbike is. It is a CBR-1000 that is customized for speed. i got on the bike and turned it on. I took the scenic route. It was peaceful racing through the empty streets at night. I forgot how beautiful this city is at night. i threw my arms into the air on a straight away going 110 Miles per hour. My hands sailed soothly in the air as my eardrums are caressed by the graceful sound of My Way by Frank Sinatra.

I pulled into a neighborhood in the boonies as i searched desperately for the Lawrence Residence. i found the house on the very edge of city limits. I can tell this is a bad neighborhood by the sheer number of bars on houses. I pulled up to the side of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence's house and shut off my bike. I walked up to the barred doors of Paul's house and i knocked on the door. I waited a little until i saw a pretty woman with silver eyes open up the door.

"My My, you must be the boy my husband was talking about." she said in a soft motherly voice

"Hello my name is Daniel Betton. I'm sorry for hitting Paul." i said apologetically.

"Wait could you be related to the Betton Brothers?" She asked with a more depressed demeanor.

"What?"

"Never mind." She said taking a deep breath "Please take a seat."

"Why thank you Mrs.Lawrence" I said

"Oh my. Please call me By my name. Im Lexus Lowrence. You can call me Lexie"

"Speaking of which, Where is Paul,"

"I'm right here, sorry to keep you waiting" Paul said coming out of the hallway. "Im sure you have a lot of questions."

"Damn straight i do" I said.

"And answers you shall have." He said taking a seat "About a year ago my wife and i went to the bank to take out a loan for our mortgage and we walked into a bank heist. we ran out and called the cops. The man was identified as Jalal Alah Akbani. He was known as a commander of the gang called Asylum. Have you heard of it?"

"Yea i think i have heard of them." I said. Truth is when Lexie Asked if i was related to the Betton brothers i lied. i am related to the Betton Brothers my uncle, Thomas Betton runs Asylum.

"Good. that takes away some time of explanation. anywho Asylum sent some top crew to put a debt on our heads. After not paying for a while, they put a hit on little LillyAnna. On the hit note it says to capture her and force us to kill her." He says. Right as he finishes we hear car doors slam. "Oh no there here."

"You need to go back to lilly. You are the only care she has right now." Lexi said as she leads me to the back door. "Leave and don't come back. From here on out you are her parent."

Lexie pushes me on the back porch where i see a tiny armory. I take a Pistol and check to see if there is any ammo in it. JACKPOT there is. I run to my bike and turn it on. I shot a bullet into the shoulder of one of the men and took off only wearing my helmet. I looked behind me and i saw people rushing to their hurt friend. i throttled all the way home.

I walked into the house to see lilly asleep on kate's arm.

"Where is Morgan Freeman and my pizza?" I asked

"Morgan Freeman's manager said that if we didn't stop harassing Mr. Freeman, there would be a lawsuit and the pizza place said that pizza is canceled because people don't know how to behave." Kate says. i glance at lilly "Yeah, she is so precious, could you put her to bed. I'm going to crash here."

"Ok" I said kissing her cheek. I picked up Lily and took her to her room. i went to my room. I walked into the bathroom. I grabbed my toothbrush and started to brush my teeth i look into the mirror. i stare into my light brown eyes i glance over to my neck where i have a scar from the accident. I hate this scar i think as i spit the toothpaste all over the mirror. i washed my face and headed to my room for bed. It took a little coaxing to get me to fall asleep, but i soon was wishing i was still awake.
