The paramedic who had the syringe in his hand paused, jaw dropped, leaning back and filled with utter confusion. Anthony who was seeing all of this instantly got a look of disgust aimed at Franklin and what he just did. "What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you do that, take away the only thing that’s saving your life right now?!" Anthony asked while he grimaced. He pulled himself away from Franklin and then with the anger still in him but now also mixed with a state of confusion, he pushed a weakened Franklin to the ground. "Just what the hell do you want from me?!" Anthony yelled in an exasperated manner, looking down at Franklin who was holding on to his neck and trying to breathe in as much air as he possibly could. Contrary to being the one who had inflicted pain on everyone else, physically or otherwise, Anthony looked like he was in more agony than anyone else, huffing and trying to find a way to get calm. "Alright you fool, that's enough from you. Just take a look a

("Franklin, I know this isn't much to make up for the heartaches I've caused, but if you'll accept it, let this gift grant you freedom") The unexpected question from Anthony forced a memory to pop into Franklin's head. This was a memory that from the looks on his face, he didn't understand the significance of it either. 'Why am I remembering this now?' He questioned himself before taking in a very deep breath with closed eyes and releasing it in a calm sigh. "Young Master, the truth is I have no idea why you can't read my thoughts either. The best I can do is remember a moment in my past, during my former master’s last moments, he bestowed on me a gift, with words hoping that I obtain freedom. Though I didn't understand what he meant by that at the time, my guess is that's the reason you can't access my mind. I've been freed from another's control" Anthony watched him, thinking to himself 'if what he says is true then does that mean I too can manipulate others’ minds beyond just r

"Huh?!" Samuel exclaimed and so did his mother. She said "That's going too far Anthony! How can you tell him to do that in front of Samuel. This has to stop, right now!" her anger had switched targets. Anthony who was being reproached didn't look bothered by her contention with what he had said. He looked at her through the corner of his eyes and responded "This is what has to happen Mr's Faller so don't try to interrupt it" 'His eyes, why does he look so different from before? He's frightening me. Just who did Maxwell bring home into our family as a friend?' Mr's Faller thought, genuinely terrified by what was going on. Everything sounded absurd but what she never expected to happen in a million years was to see Franklin going down to the ground to grovel at Samuel’s feet. "Huh? What are you doing?" She turned to question Franklin with a look of disgust on her face. "As the friends of my Young Master, it is my greatest mistake to have hurt you and not immediately repent and apo

Where the assault was happening was someplace close to the entrance of one of the movie theaters, the same one with the poster for the same movie this customer had bought the tickets for. Because the ticket takers who were the only authority in the cinema were at the end of the short corridor leading to the theater itself, even though they were the closest ones to the assault and were supposed to do something about it, they ended up not being aware of its existence. "Come on girl, how many times do I gotta ask before you drop them digits, huh? Quit playing this game of hard-to-get and just do as you're told!" said a tall young guy with a grin and lustful stare. He was leaning uncomfortably close to a young female of similar age and she was in a defensive position, doing her best to move away from him. Unfortunately, she wasn't allowed to. "I said no! How many more times do I have to tell you that I have a boyfriend and I came here with him, so stop pestering me, all three of you!"

'The other moviegoers should already be inside the theaters which are sound proof so no matter how much he yells they won't be able to hear him. Many might not even be willing to step out and help, but, that's not the same for the ticket takers and other staff here' Anthony thought, watching the customer who was about to do exactly what he told him to. "Come on princess, stop moving too much so the camera can capture your face—" Jason said but was interrupted by the chime of the girl's phone getting unlocked. Instantly realizing his success in what he had been trying to achieve for the past minute and a half, Jason smirked and let go of her head to operate the phone with his dominant hand. He quickly went into the keypad to dial his number with a huge smirk on his face. She tried to get her phone back but the other two guys used their bigger bodies to obstruct her from getting through, and after trying too hard, she gave up and stepped back. She shrugged "You know what, it doesn
