"So, tell me again. Why did you come here?" Liam Blake, the police officer of Gwan Street asked. He looked down at the young boy who barely reached his waist. "I want to be a teacher, or at least a medical treatment doctor," The young boy said, trying to fix eyes with the police officer. "So let me get the point. Do you want me to go to the school and demend you to be a teacher?" The police officer said sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "No-it's not that what I mean. I mean that Helen slaped me on the cheek for demending teacher's place. So I want to call the lawyer and I want to solve this inappropriate behavior in the point of law." "Did you told your mother than?" asked the police officer doubtfully. "I can't solve this problem if you don't have your parent's agreement," "Oh, my parents agreed. They said I can call the lawyer." "Huh?" said the confused Liam Blake, "Then where are they?" "In heaven, at least my mother is." The boy said, showing no sign of sorrow or anger. He said his parents were dead like it was nothing. "Oh," Liam seemed to be dumbfounded by the answer, "I'm sorry...Well, I'll find a lawyer for you. Wait, what's your name?" he added when the boy turned around and headed for the door. The boy turned around and with a smile he said, "I'm Reginald Blake."

"Don't you think it's wicked to say that to your father?" Jeremy Winston said to Reginald. "He's your father you know." "That man is no father of mine. You can't call a man who left you and your mother alone as soon as your mother had you! If he didn't left, mother would have lived. I'm sure of that." Reginald said between gritted teeth. Jeremy looked at Reginald in shock. "Wow, do you hate your father that much? But I thought you were willing to meet your father." "Not until I knew that man had left mother and me just because of another woman," Reginald said. Jeremy laughed uncertainly and spoke, "Well, now that you had done your revenge, where will we go?" "I don't want to be around that man, so let's go to the capital. We might find another-well, revengeful kids like us." Jeremy looked doubtful. "I don't think capital will be more easy than here. You know, capital people are wicked, they don't look kindly at beggers." Reginald glared at Jeremy. "We're NOT beggers!" "Oh, I know. But people might think we are." Jeremy said, looking at Reginald with scared eyes. Reginald sighed. "Your right." Jeremy looked at Reginald, taking his hint. "What is it?" Reginald said, "You don't have to look at me everytime you have something unpleasant to tell me." Jeremy sighed. "Rege, I don't think you'll like to hear this...but I think I'll just stay here." Reginald stared at Jeremy. "Huh?" he asked, looking at Jeremy. Jeremy looked uncomfortable. "I know we'd been traveling around since birth together, and promised to stick together, but I'm tired of moving now. And...I like Adelaide. I wish Adelaide and I will...marry someday and make a family." "You like who?!" "Hush! Adelaide. I didn't notice, but she's pretty you know. And very cheerful and..." "Jeremy Winston! Your-your in love?!" "Shush! I-I don't love Adelaide, but I just-well kind of like her..." Reginald stared at Jeremy in bewilderment. Now what should he suppose to do, with his best friend and only friend saying he'll stay here?
