Henry quickly grabbed his back pack then he and Homer ran after the ball. As he tried to touch it, the ball eluded him. It was frustrating; it felt as though he had lived his whole life for that moment only for it to slip through his fingers. He stopped running when he could no longer see the ball.

“I can’t deal with this any longer,” he said. “I really can’t. I just need to get home, doesn’t he see that?”

“Of course he doesn’t,” Henry replied himself in frustration. “How could he? He was torn away from me in the first place anyways, by the system!”

He exhaled. The beast cocked its head in confusion, waiting. Henry patted its head Aa they slowed into a trot. Their footsteps were noisy in the quiet place. After a while, Henry made shelter near a cave so he and Homer could sleep.

Homer stayed at the entrance of the cave to protect Henry from any imminent danger. Henry appreciated his thoughtfulness, but he was too tired to fully express it. When he laid down, his body went lax and he im

    Henry landed in the last realm. This would be the last piece of his soul, the key to finally leaving this place. Henry rubbed Homer’s head as he walked briskly to the east, where the tab said his soul would be. Homer hummed under Henry’s hand, and Henry knew he would miss him. It’s was weird being friends with the most dangerous creature he’d met here, but Henry had learnt a lot in the past few days he’d been here. He wondered again what time it was in his own world.“What time is it?” He asked the system.[I’m not sure what time it is here; time is infinite]“I mean what time it is on earth.”[Mr. Henry, you should focus on obtaining your soul]Homer huffed. Henry smiled slightly as he rubbed the beast’s head.“The system is a bit harsh with me,” Henry said.The beast huffed in agreement. They walked silently for some time. Not that Henry’s mind was silent, of course. He kept thinking of time, of how to obtain his soul and leave. He wondered if he would forget the experience he has h

    “Alright, I have to go now.” Henry patted Homer’s head in farewell. “I’ll have to drop you at your world, though. You can’t remain in this unfamiliar environment.”Homer looked at him with sad eyes. Henry knew the beast would miss him. It obviously had not met something that had impacted much influence in him, much less a human. Henry was certain Homer still viewed him as a meat he would like to protect. He didn’t have time for a proper farewell, he had completed his mission and his bed back home called for him more than anything else.Henry opened the tab. Its blue light shone within. He searched for the world Homer had come from, and when he found it, he turned to the beast.“You have to go now.”The beast cocked its head as if to ask, “And how do you intend taking me home?”“I don’t know,” Henry answered his thoughts. “I suppose you’ll step on the tab and it’ll suck you to where you came from? Let’s try it.”Henry dropped the open tab on the ground and knelt down. Homer stared relu

    Louis opened the door of the passenger back seat for Henry to enter, and then went to the driver’s seat. Henry had originally wanted to driven around town, to get reacquainted with the air, the people, the noise. The realms he travelled to have affected him in way he could not tell. In every corner it seemed as though he caught a shadow, a slithering movement, a round eye. It was all humans, but Henry could not stop the intrusive thoughts from occupying his brain. A lot had happened in the past few days that wore him down. He knew he needed someone to talk with, a companion, but he didn’t know exactly who to speak with. Louis was his business companion, and even if they lines may have blurred over the years; it was absurd for Henry to tell him important details like these. Not everyone would understand, and Louis didn’t have the mental capacity for the garbage Henry would dump on him.On a second thought, Henry remembered that there were people who made it their sole purpose of listen

    Henry knocked on the door. He could remember Louis suspicious stare when he dropped him off at a busy street. The therapist’s office was at the top floor. He had asked Louis to remain downstairs while he walked up the staircase since the building didn’t have an elevator. Plus, he needed to stretch his legs.“Come in!” A cheery voice piqued from inside.Henry turned the handle and entered inside. A young woman was arranging her table; she glanced up at him and flashed him a smile. Her lipstick was dark red, her eyebrows plucked, and she wore a dress that wasn’t so official. It was a flowery gown that went down to her knees. Henry closed the door behind him and sat on her couch. He soft cushion sucked him in. Her office had bright colors, bright posters and some colorful pens that gave an illusion of happiness. Her laptop was covered in pink intentional paint. Henry wondered if she had children. She looked too young to be married: He guessed she would be about twenty five or twenty seve

    Henry tapped on Louis side of the window. Louis jerked from his sleep and immediately unwinds the window.“What?” he asked groggily.“Let me drive,” Henry said flatly.Louis opened the door and moved over to the passenger seat. Henry slid into the driver’s seat and started the car, occasionally glancing at Louis.“I was gone for less than fifteen minutes, Louis. How did you fall asleep so fast?”Louis wiped his fast as if wiping the sleep away. He yawned, and then reached for the bottle water that eh positioned in between the two seats.“I thought you were going to spend an hour there,” he yawned again. “So I wanted to catch a nap.”“You can do that at home, not when you’re working.”“My house has become unbearable for me,” Louis confided. “May and I are constantly at loggerheads.”May was Louis wife. A petite, brown haired woman that had brown eyes. One of the good kinds too, maybe even too good for Louis. Henry had never imagined himself creating a family life like Louis, even when

    Louis kept glancing back at the dog while he drove. He was not comfortable that Henry had kept the dog at the back seat, not caged and not leashed. Louis’s hand was on the door handle, and Henry had the impression that he was going to jump out without thinking if the dog made one move. Henry laughed. He couldn’t remember that last time he laughed—was it the realms? But it sure felt good. Better than good, actually. It elevated his mood. He liked that Louis was scared of the dog. Louis, who was the most cheerful and nonchalant fighter he had ever seen, afraid of a dog.“You’re laughing at my misfortune, aren’t you?” He glared at Henry.“Relax,” Henry replied. “Homer’s not going to bite you, not unless I say so.”“You don’t even know it enough and you’ve bonded with the damn thing.”Henry smiled as he reached for the dog to rub its head. The dog looked at him, sharing an intimate look at Henry. He had kind eyes, Henry noticed. The kind of eyes that probably got misjudged for most of hi

    “So where is she?” Henry asked.He and Louis had retreated back to Henry’s hidden cave. He didn’t use the cave often, but now that he had gotten Homer, he needed to be careful of who he invited home. Homer was potentially dangerous, and didn’t take too kindly to visitors. Besides, they wanted to meet the tracker, and Henry didn’t think his house was the best option to meeting the man.“She’s at Costa Rica,” the tracker said.Henry nodded absently. The tracker was a man that spoke with eyes rather than words. Henry could tell that the tracker was scared of him, and Louis was the only one making him comfortable as it was. He didn’t exactly blame the man; even he would prefer to speak to a chatty man rather than a gloomy, dangerous man. A chatty dangerous man like Louis was easy to maneuver around, and even though Henry did not like that Louis was so easy to access to, he had to let it go because it was Louis' charms that had brought them this far.Louis yawned tiredly and stretched. “We

    They lodged in a hotel that was close to a location that the tracker had given them. Henry didn’t want to rush this mission, should, in case something goes wrong. He wanted to take his sweet time in analyzing his attacks and counterattacks, in checking all holes and loopholes. He didn’t know how long they were going to stay there, but Henry had booked a suite for him and Louis to share, so they could both times each other. They didn’t bring any luggage with them, and Henry preferred it that way. He could get guns and clothes anywhere, rather than shipping them and taking a risk with the country custom officers.Henry allowed Louis to communicate with his wife all the way through; the poor woman didn’t exactly know the nature of his job, but she knew he was getting heavily paid for it and was constantly at risk. It was only natural to call up Louis every few hours to check up on him since she would be having his baby. Or not. Whatever it was, Henry’s envy spread and spread until he sta

He remembered how broke he was when he caught her.He remembered how he loosed all hope after she confessed everything to him. After she told him he doesn't love her."Why do I have to dress up?" He asked himself when he noticed how nicely he was dressing."Whatever." He muttered under his breath. Henry already told Evelyn about the meeting. He walked out of the bedroom, and saw Louis waiting for him."Don't tell me you are this well dresses because of her." Louis winked at him."Me? This is just a casual well, and I am well dressed because I want to dress nicely." He said to Louis"Woah, are you going to meet up with a girl? Is he going on a blind date?"

    Henry ended the call immediately after listening to what the nurse told him."What happened?" Louis inquired ok seeing how devastated he was."Someone released Sean from the hospital claiming they are related, how does that makes sense?" Henry was beginning to get so angry."It was Erica." Louis told Henry."You knew it was her and you couldn't stop her? How did you find out that it was her?" Henry queried him"I planted a tracker in her car, I saw that she went to a place and that is not the office, neither Dexter's company. She must have been the one." Louis explained to him."I knew she is up to something, we must find a way to find out what she is up to. She might want to use him or something." Mike added."She didn't know I am out the prison yet right?" Henry wanted to confirm his thoughts."Yes, she didn't know you are out of the prison yet, we need to wait for a while. That was she will be unguarded." Louis answered.They got to their house in no time and did the necessary thin

Can you get the security footage of everything that happened during our stay there?I think there is a spy there that got it release everything we did, and sent to our rival company."
