Early morning at the Jones residence Elizabeth prepared breakfast while Braden got up from his bed for school & before he eats he went in the bathroom & looked at the mirror for a moment. As he stares closely Richie's reflection became his making him remember what he did yesterday.
"This is your fault Richie!" He muttered to himself.
At the kitchen Elizabeth placed the freshly cooked waffles at the table for Braden to eat.
"Good morning Mom" Braden greeted.
"Morning Richie" Elizabeth replied. "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Not really, I was thinking a lot of things last night"
"Is it about Hayley?"
"That's one"
"By the way Richie your Dad & I finally decided that we'll bring your brother Braden here at home with us" Elizabeth announced.
"What?!? You're taking Braden out of the hospital?!?" Braden sounded surprised.
"Why??? Don't you like that? Your brother here at home with us now"
"Of course I like it but it's just that he's still in a coma. He needs to stay there for him to be monitored by the doctors"
"Yes but I already spoke to his doctor & he said that Braden's health is getting fine & his body recovered well after the accident. All he needs now is to wake up plus there's the bills, I don't know where will I find more money if we'll put him there more for a long time"
"Your mom's right Richie" Said Archie who has recovered too slowly. "It's best that we take Braden home perhaps here he'll wake up" He sprinted to the table. "I had to borrow some money from your Grandma Luisa for the other payments"
"Speaking of your Grandma Luisa, I talked to her the other day & she said that she's coming here tonight to see you & Braden, isn't that great Richie?" Elizabeth informed to him.
"Yeah that sounds amazing" Braden replied promptly. "By the way I need to go now" He stood up from his chair.
Before Braden left the house he took two waffles & put in a medium size zip lock bag then grabbed a water bottle in the fridge heading on to the old warehouse where he hid Richie.
"Morning Richie, how's your sleep last night?" Removing the gagged on his mouth.
"Braden! Get me out of here!" Richie demanded.
"Sorry bro, but no can do"
"What do you want from me?!?"
"I said I come back for you" Braden looked at him. "I brought you breakfast, it's your favorite waffles that Mom always make"
"What???" Richie said confused. "What are you doing to me?"
"I am feeding you breakfast, I know you're hungry & thirsty since yesterday that's why I brought you this"
"Why Braden???"
"Because I can't let you die" Braden looked away.
"So you still do care for me..."
"Don't take this the wrong way Richie! I still despise you"
"Really? Then why are you doing this?"
"Enough! Do you want to eat or what?!?"
"Fine, give me those waffles now"
After Braden fed him, Richie continued to demand for his freedom.
"Braden please release me now you don't have to do this"
"You're not leaving this place Richie, especially now that Mom & Dad are bringing my body home"
"They're bringing your body home?"
"Yes & if I free you, you won't stop until Mom & Dad knows the truth about what really happened to us"
"No I won't tell them anything just please untie me here"
"Sorry Richie but you're staying here for another night" Putting the gagged back on Richie's mouth.
At the hospital Elizabeth is now taking care of Braden's papers for his discharge & inside the room was Victor who is looking at Braden's body thinking of a way on how he can put back his soul into it. In a few minutes the medics came & took Braden so Victor disappeared & left, suddenly a strange dark figure covered in a crimson smoke appeared & started following Braden's trail.
Meanwhile at school while walking on the hallway Hayley together with Mila were approached by Clinton's soul.
"Mila wait" Clinton appeared in front of them. "There's something you need to know"
"Clinton you've got to stopped doing that!" Mila reacted annoyed.
"Is that you Clinton?" Hayley looked at him.
"Wait, Hayley you can see me?"
"Yeah she does long story" Mila cut in. "What it is that we need to know?"
"It's Richie, he didn't come home last night & now my parents are worried about me I mean him. Now they're on their way to the police station to report him"
"We know what happened to Richie" Said Hayley. "Braden hid him somewhere & now we don't know where he might be"
"What?!!!? Why did Braden do that?!?"
"It has something to do about him telling Mrs. Jones the truth" Mila answered.
"Of course" He paused for a while. "But where would Braden possibly hide his brother?"
"It's up to us to find out where Richie is because if we tell this to their parents we don't know what Braden would do to him" Hayley informed.
"Don't worry girls I'll find Richie"
"HOW???" They both asked.
"I have a plan" Clinton stated.
Just after their class Clinton secretly followed Braden while Hayley & Mila waits for him. Braden was now heading to the old warehouse until he felt Clinton's presence so he turned his way to their home.
When Braden arrived Elizabeth welcomed him warmly.
"Richie you're home! How's your day???" Her mother asked.
"Its fine Mom" He answered.
"Your brother is here now; do you want to see him?"
"Yes of course, where is he now?"
"He's in the other room"
Clinton heard everything what Elizabeth said so he came with them & when they entered the room he saw Braden's body lying on the bed still unconscious.
"There he is Richie, say hello to your brother" Elizabeth said.
Braden slowly walked towards his body & knelt holding its hand.
"I am so sorry this happened to you, I am sorry you're in that position now" Braden lamented.
As he held on his real body, Clinton can see that the sadness Braden is showing is real. In a few moments Braden & Elizabeth left the room while Clinton quickly went to Braden's body & tried if he can possess it but unexpectedly a strong force threw him away, then the growl he heard at the hospital came grumbling in the room putting Clinton in fear & making him leave the room with no hesitation.
