Duke sharply turns around. His eyes are wide and they are darting around as he thinks of what to do. That's a kid, there is a fucking child in this house.

He promised himself that whoever so ever sees his face would die and that's why he turned away from the kid. " Papa?" The boy calls again. Duke quickly reaches for his mask and puts it back on his face. He tries his best to wipe off the blood from his face but what can he do when he is almost drenched in it?" Stay where you are, kid. " He says. He turns around and walks to the stairs, the boy is staring at the lady's body at the end of the stairs. He is a cute little boy.
