The sun rose again bringing life and light to the big city of Nelspruit , doves flew from building to building as the city was quiet but what would you expect from a city that was responsible for half of the death rate of the country.
In order to avoid her parents , Samantha woke up early as she sneaked out of her room gently so she doesn't wake up her parents but it was all for nothing as they were already up and Miranda already prepared breakfast. Samantha would attempt to return to her room before her mother sees her but she was too late as Miranda already spotted her.
"Good morning Sammy , please go wash your face and brush your teeth so you can eat breakfast" suggested Miranda who was wearing an apron and a beautiful smile , you could swear that it wasn't her house that was burnt yesterday.
Samantha looked at her mother and saw right through her that it was all an attempt to make her to about the argument John and Miranda had yesterday but she decided to play along , she would make way to the bathroom. John got out of the guest room where he slept without Samantha noticing as he went to the kitchen wearing his suit and ready for work.
"Morning , can I have my breakfast on the go and my lunchbox " uttered John as he fixed his jacket and checked the time on his silver watch.
"Don't you know how to make your own lunchbox and Breakfast?" asked Miranda as she grimly looked at John and continued cleaning up.
"Come on ! how long is this going to continue huh ? Didn't you hear Samantha yesterday ? Or you like seeing her unhap....." John complained as he would be interrupted by Miranda before finishing his sentence.
"Don't you dare say I want to see my daughter unhappy ! You are the one who risk put her in danger by leaving her with that freak ! " shouted Miranda as she got angry and grabbed a knife from the drawer.
" Hey put that down ! Fine it's my fault and I will grab something on my way to work and aren't you supposed to be ready for work as well ? I know we are currently not each other's favourite person but come on we have to save money so we have to use the same car " uttered John as he admitted that he was wrong about in order to avoid an unnecessary fight.
"I can't believe you actually think I would go to work and leave my daughter alone after what happened , you can go to your work since it's more important than your daughter's life " replied Miranda as she placed the knife back into the drawer.
" I think you are starting to be over protective , you should give Sammy space and let her do her own things , you heard her yesterday saying that Gerra...." suggested John as he would again get interrupted before finishing talking.
"Don't you dare say your brother's name , he is the reason why my daughter almost died ! And don't ever tell me how to raise and treat my own daughter so just go to your work and you can tell that boss of yours that I quit ! " shouted Miranda in anger as she banged the table and broke tea cups .
" You guys never learn and you will never change " those words echoed throughout the kitchen as they caught John and Miranda's attention as it seemed that they were uttered by Samantha who stood at the corner of the kitchen and shook her head.
" Princess...." John attempted reaching out to her daughter but failed miserably as Samantha took a slice of toasted bread and went out to get some air leaving her parents with these words "you can eat your breakfast and continue arguing , am going to get some air"
Miranda would skip a heartbeat as she watched her daughter get out of the house and into the dangerous streets of the city. She couldn't do anything about it cause she knew that one wrong word she will push Samantha away.
Meanwhile in the police station Lieutenant Sparks along with other policemen would report for duty as they went to the captain office . Lieutenant Sparks wouldn't believe his eyes as he saw the person he admire the most swimming in alcohol . It was Captain Jones who had a bottle of whiskey in his hand.
"Captain ! What's going on ! Why are you drinking at work and did you get some sleep?" asked lieutenant Sparks who couldn't comprehend the motive that would drive the Captain into breaking the rules.
"Sparks Sparks Sparks the lightning bolt ! You look good but what's with the questions ? Are you a prosecutor ? " responded Captain Jones who was all over the place , dropping documents on the floor.
" Captain! What's going on ! Why are you drinking ? " asked the lieutenant as he tried picking up the documents.
" You see in life things don't go well as planned , one second you can be on top of the world then the next second in the lowest of lows , I had it all ! I had a family to protect and feed but I failed them ! I couldn't save my wife in that burning house , I couldn't protect my son to whatever that killed him and I couldn't even protect even the prisoner that was going to help me find out my son's killer ! Go look over there , the lady who led the mob that burnt the Simpson's house is dead ! Everything I touch turns into dust !" responded Captain Jones who's eyes were filled with tears as he pointed to the prison cell where the lady was kept.
Lieutenant Sparks couldn't believe what he saw as he went and checked the prison cell , he would go back to the captain's office.
"Sir that isn't your fault and please don't give up yet ! You can fight this , you are the strongest man I know please sir don't let this current situation define you ! I will help you prepare for the funeral tomorrow so please go home and rest , I will take over here " uttered lieutenant Sparks as he helped Captain Jones get up from the chair and picked up the phone and called a cab for him.
" Thank you Sparks , you have grown up to be a fine man and am sorry for disappointing you " responded Jones who came back to his senses as he walked outside the station accompanied by Sparks and into the cab as it drove off.
Lieutenant Sparks went back to the office and cleaned up the mess the captain created and checked the suspect board and tried to find some sort of a clue but it was all in vain.
Meanwhile Samantha would be walking in the street as two demons appeared before as they would sharpen their claws and licked their mouths.
" Well well well , if it ain't Samantha Simpson , Gerrard's little brat ! "
