Chapter 44
“Someone killed him, Kira. Someone murdered the old man.” This time it was Carson who spoke. His voice was shaking and almost screaming. He was seated beside Mary who had been seated on the couch. Kira took a step back, shaking her head as if she did not believe what she had not heard. To her, the town they lived in was the safest place she knew. How could anyone commit something such as murder in the town? What worse, an old man?
She quickly run to Carson and wrapped her hands around him, trying to sooth him. “Are you both alright? What happened to her?” She let go of Carson and turned her attention to Mary who just stared continuously at nothing in particular.
“She saw the state of the old man. It was my fault. I wasn’t paying attention.” Carson spoke, once again blaming himself. Kira looked at the little girl and wrapped her arms around her to give her comfort. Anderson who stood by the side frowned at Carson.

Anderson knew there was only one place left for him to be, especially when he had not been given much attention all evening since they got back. Although he did not know about later that evening, he knew Kira would definitely give him some attention during his sleepless night. Seeing a dead body for the first time was not something someone easily got over.Anderson walked to the girl’s room. He was about to knock gently so just so he did not wake up Mel.

“Anderson.” The twins came rushing back into the house after the sheriff had eventually left and hugged Anderson tightly. “Please don’t leave.”. Anderson was too preoccupied with his thoughts to have even noticed her leave.“I’m not going anywhere. I promise.” Anderson reassured the twins. They were devastated. Their older families, Carson and Kira just left without the decency of a goodbye, and now their new family was taken away. It was obvious they were afraid the last remaining big brother would leave as well. As for blaming him for Carson and Kira leaving, it had not once crossed their minds even they heard the sheriff talk about some argument among the three.Miss. Agnes walked into the house carrying Mel with a somber look on her face. Mel had her face hidden as she continued to silently cry. “Boys, why don’t you take Mel upstairs so I can talk to Miss. Agnes for a bit.” The twins nodded. They wer

It was the culmination of the work of a few philanthropists and was the only one in the whole city to not be affiliated to any catholic belief.

“Wait.” Miss. Agnes suddenly spoke before taking a few more steps back. “The knife. Toss it away.” Anderson felt a little upset He had been hoping because she had a gun, she would get complacent and let him keep the knife. Thinking about it, it sounded a little dumb, even for him. If it were him, of course there was no way he would let his prisoner keep their weapon. Anderson tossed raised the knife up slightly, but heard the gun cocking behind him. The woman was every bit as alert as she could be. Anderson tossed the knife away after a slight hesitation. “Good boy. Don’t be a pouty baby. Besides, I have a surprise for you.” Miss. Agnes spoke after seeing Anderson continue to move right after tossing the knife away. She was delighted that he was moving on his own accord, granted it was under duress, but still. She looked like she had a plan, and it was better with them moving away.“Where are we going?” Anderson asked the

“Oh my, to what do I owe this unpleasant visit?” Suit looked to the three figures that were standing a few feet outside the bloody circle and spoke. His smile was as pleasing to the eyes as ever. Even after he just called their visit unpleasant, he still looked like a host welcoming their guest with the utmost courtesy, while occasionally stealing glances at the screen in front of him.The three that had arrived, two men and a woman, did not seem the friendly kind. To them, the smile Suit was sporting seemed to irk them even more. Their hate and displeasure, evident from the glare and sneer on their faces. Regardless of all of that, Suit did not seem to mind. His smile was still ever present on his face, and his concentration drawing ever more to the screen in front of him.“What are you doing?” One of the men, a little shorter than the other huffed in displeasure.

A few minutes passed and Anderson slowly opened his eyes. His face was wet with tears and a deep frown was etched on his face. He had just lost something precious to him. Although he could not remember exactly what it was he had lost, he could feel it in his heart that he had not only lost something, but it was also something very precious to him. Anderson had no idea whether it was the mechanics of it or that was just how Suit had set it up just to torture him.“Welcome back. I must admit, you were so close to surviving there. I was actually rooting for you.” The demon’s words brought him out of his thoughts. He glared at Suit, but he only stood there with a smile on his face, completely ignoring the glare he was receiving. Anderson did not even bother with asking Suit to return what he had taken because he knew very well the demon before him would not bother to pay him any heed.Anderson sat up. He was finding a bit of difficulty in talking. He was

Did you miss me?” Before he could completely open his eyes, he heard a familiar hyperactive voice right beside him. Anderson slowly opened his eyes and saw Leash squatting beside him, staring down at his with a happy expression. Anderson felt the demon had spent too much time alone for him to be the way he was. Anderson lay there quietly for a while before finally siting up. He was now used to everything that was happening around him.Anderson looked around the room they were in. There was nothing else in the room except the happy looking Leash. Anderson wondered if nothing could be brought in such a place. He would have probably gone insane already if he had to stay in such a place even for one minute. Who knew just how long Leash had been in such a place, and how time flow worked there? It was no wonder the poor happy go lucky demon had already lost his mind. Anderson tur
