Jimmy arrived home and sat on the porch while he called Nathing.   "Ring, Ring."   "Hey, dude, I've got good news.  I've found the faces you needed," said Nathing.  "Wow, really?  Well, buddy, I have your money ready to go.   I'm sitting on the porch.  So if you like to come by now and pick up your money." explained Jimmy   "Will do, give twenty, I'll see you then." said Nathing as he hung up the line.    "Later," said Jimmy as he did the same.

"Wow, that man is a genius.  Can't wait until he gets here," he whispered as he sat on the rocking chair and rocked back and forth until his friend arrived.

Atty had heard his truck pull up, so she help Brook up and escorted her outside.  "Father, you've returned right on time for our daily walk," she said as they went down the porch steps.  "Sweetie, I'm back, but I won't be able to talk that walk with you today.  I take the walk tomorrow if you don't mind?" he replied   "Really Father?  Fine, let's go Atty, my father is slowly becoming a liar." she said as they began to walk towards the park.  "No, no, I'm not a liar.  Sweetie, I have something important to do, that's all this is," he explained   Atty glanced at him rolling her eyes as she walked away and Brook, just said, "Whatever Father." as she continued walking away.

Within seconds, Nathing's SUV parked in front of the house.   "Hey, dude, got something for you," he said as he wants towards the porch.   "And I also have something for you," he replied as he stepped down and walked to meet him.    "Here you go sir, all the faces you need." he said  "Here you call, all the money you've asked for," said Jimmy as he headed him the envelope filled with money.

"So, Jimmy, wants the plan?' Nathing asked.  "What do you mean?' Jimmy respond  "Well, I did overcharge you and you didn't complain.  So why are these datasheets so important?" he asked with a curious grin.   "Can you keep a secret?' he replied   "Of course, it's part of my job to keep secrets all the time.  So tell me what are you up to?" again he asked    "Well, I don't want you to see me as a bad evil man, so I'm going to start from the beginning.   I went to the doctor for a fiscal, and my entire life flashed in front of my eyes." he explained, "What do you flash in front of your eyes?" Nathing asked a bit of concern.   "My buddy, I'm dying, little by little." he explained   "What?' Nathing replied   "I have cancer.  The doctor said it's too late for me.  That I have about a week or two left to live." Jimmy replied with the saddest look on his face that made him shed tears.   "Damn dude I'm so sorry.  So who is this going to keep you alive?" he replied  

"No this is not going to keep me alive, but if I can give my daughter eyesight, I will die a happy man.  If she can see, I know she has a better life," he explained.   "Do they know that you have cancer?' he asked  "No, and I don't want them to know.  I need to find these people, those who are O positive only.  I have fifteen thousand dollars and a little more.  I want to approach some of these organ donors.  Maybe one of them is willing to sell their eyes, with dying." he explained  "Really?  Are you stupid or crazy?  No one in their right mind is going to sell you there eyes." said Nathing   

"I know, I was thinking the same thing.  But I must try, I must try somehow to get her to see before I had to die from this world, I want my baby to see how beautiful it all is," he explained.   "What if you just take the eyes?' he asked   "That's not going to work, how will we keep them alive until surgery?" he asked   "Look, how about this.  Jimmy, you are a good man, and my god your daughter is beautiful.  I help you get rid of some of these donors if you want me to." he explained   "What do you mean get rid of?" he asked   

"You know, put a bullet in their heart, pop it's over and the body will go to the organ donors," he explained   Jimmy didn't say a word, he looked up at him and gave him an ancient smile.  "If I kill, I'll surely go to hell, and man, I really don't want that." said Jimmy   "Don't worry I have friends, that can take care of this.  They charge for the job, but it won't be fifteen thousand, maybe five but that's about the highest they go." he explained   "What?  Are you really asking me to put a hit on someone?" he replied  

"You want your daughter to see before you die.  Dude according to your doctor, you don't have much time to make any long decision." Nathing explained  When he notices Brook and Atty walking up the hill.  "So, what is it going to be?  Make up your mind, here come the ladies," he said with a grin.  "Give me a day to think about.  It'll give me time to look over the datasheets to find the right suiters." he explained  "So, call me tomorrow and let me know your decision." he said  as he jumped into his SUV.   

The ladies finally reach them, "Father you miss a wonderful walk." said Brook with a pleasant smile.  "Don't worry I won't miss it tomorrow.  Don't go in the house, we're going out for lunch." he replied, "Is that Nathing?" Brook asked for somehow she sensed him.  "Yes, beautiful lady, it's me.  How do you feel today?" he asked with a big smile.  "I'm happy now that I've heard your voice." she replied  "I glad, I must get going. Take care beautiful lady." he said as he tipped his hat at Jimmy and drove away.

"Father, is he lying to me?" she asked a bit concern.  "Lying about what?' he replied  "Me being beautiful?" he replied  "Are you crazy asking me that question.  Of course, you are beautiful, one of the most beautiful girls in the world." he replied as he gave her a kiss on the forehead.   "Oh, Father you must say that you're my dad," he replied as he opened the door to his truck and helped her in.  "Sweetie, I say that because it's the truth.  So where do you want to go for lunch?' he asked   "Anywhere is fine with me." Brook replied  "So how about pizza?" he asked  "Sure father that sounds great." said the young lady.  Atty glanced at him, still wondering what was going on in Jimmy's mind.  She felt something was really wrong, but she couldn't figure out just what was wrong.

As they ate their pizza, the conversation was a bit short.  The rest of the day went by normal. Well, not that normal, Jimmy kept his distance from Atty, whose mouth was filled with so many questions, it was beginning to get on his last nerve.  So the rest of his day he spent inside his bedroom reading the datasheets and writing down the names, of all the hopefuls.

After a couple of hours, everyone in the house turns in and went to bed.
