Helen sat checking the pictures in the Rockstar hotel room when John called her via phone call. The call scared her, and make her think twice. And she allowed her phone to ring over ten times. “Kite, what should I do? Should I pick Dad's call?” She rubbed her cat's hair as her tears darted from her eyes. She cleaned it when detective Desmond’s voice came back to her mind. The half-brotherly, and half-console voice, “your tears won’t solve the problem.” The phone rang again. Without thinking about what to do, she picked up the call. And wait for John to speak first. “Hello, Helen,” John said “Hello Dad,” she said. “Where have you been since all these days?” he asked “You sent me away, da

How’s your journey?” “Yo mama,” Harry said, “it’s bad. A big shark chased us here.” “Good mama,” Alister said, “I thought we won’t make it here until Jack throws an electric gold at it.” “Really?” she asked “Our favorite mama,” Reuben said, “since we knew we can’t lie to you and go free-“ “Yo mama,” Harry cuts in, “no one among us can dare to touch the gold in Jack&rsqu

He forced himself up for his dried throat and dessert tongue had weakened him. And he had fallen many times in the hill, had rolled back to the ground, and the sky had gone blurred for minutes. But he would rise when the air refreshed his strength to climb the hill again. He remembers he climbed the hill with the three friends as they jumped out of their canoes at the riverside, and he remembers they walked down the long hill after climbing it. It was easy then, but hard now. Even harder when he got lost, and had lost his strength. And still can’t find his way back to Harry’s house. For he had said, “I will eat and
