looked up. He saw was Deidrick himself. Deidrick he watched lowered his head to again look at Lance. Burke appeared into view looking annoyed.

  Jinks frowned as Burke spoke sounding whiny “Why do I have to take responsibility for this? It’s ridiculous.”

  He continued to watch as Deidrick looked at Burke who appeared to gulp figuring out that the man was glaring at him.

  He heard from Deidrick sounding serious “Because I said so. No one is taking responsibility for him. It is bringing up questions by various sources some involving the law. I don’t want this to come out and kick me out of my government position hence you taking responsibility period. I insist you stop whining about it and take it fine period.”

  Jinx heard from Burke “Argh this better be worth it. People are questioning why he doesn’t resemble me or Lizette despite the responsibility taken and flaunted in people’s faces.”

  He eyed Deidrick who spoke “Don’t worry about that. Just let me handle the matter but keep taking responsibility period.”

  Jinx shifted eyes towards Burke who nodded his head and walked out of sight.

  He eyed Deidrick who spoke out loud “Hmph the truth better not come out.”

  Jinx then saw him walked out of his view as the scene went black.

  Jinx heard electricity humming like sounds as he came to from being unconscious. He felt himself lying on dirt ground on his back wearing shorts covering him and his necklace was gone from his neck. He jerked open his eyes to stare at a glaring round overhead light shining from above. He sat up with confusion while shaking his head and rubbed a hand on his forehead. Then felt for the necklace by touching his neck which he sensed was still gone.

  He looked around to discover himself surrounded by a long over his head in length large fence gates with signs on them that said “Danger Electricity.”

  He recalled meeting Aurora in his apartment on Luna. She showed him a doll and knocked him out with some dart gun by the back of his neck. This before waking up still in his quarters his body feeling like it went through medical testing that kept him in bed sick with a weakness feeling for two standard Egyptia planetary days.

  He felt rage running through him as the memory stopped its course in his mind. He adjusted his position to kneel closing his eyes. He found his mind was too cluttered to ghost walk due to his anger running through him.

  Jinx heard the humming of electricity stop as he opened his eyes. He saw a figure walked into view which was a huge bald head male with a sneer on his face wearing only black shorts that pulled part of the gate open sliding it then walked inside slamming it closed behind him.

  Jinx again heard the humming of electricity sounded again and watched as the male advanced towards him with his hands becoming fists and the sneer on the male’s face become a smirk. Jinx slowly got up from kneeling to stand and raised his hands fisting them. The male attacked him with fists swinging at him. Jinx allowed his rage to take control angrily met the male’s attack using his martial art fighting moves towards the male. He while dancing out of the male’s swinging fists.

  He felt something like a dam burst in him. He felt something like a feeling of power running through him that calmed him down from his rage. He smirked some sick smile towards the male.

  Jinx saw the fighter's face turn into a frown with confusion in the male’s eyes who charged at him with a full body attack. He stepped aside to turn watching the male’s charge end by hitting the fence. The fighter’s body wound up jerking from the electricity hitting him. He heard the humming sound stop as the male’s body stopped its jerking to slide down towards the dirt ground.

  He sensed two presences of people watching him. He turned to his left forming a glare on his face eyes staring at two figures features hidden in the darkness. Jinx folded his arms forming accusation in his eyes and face aimed at the hidden figures. He stood as one of the figures turned towards the other and then after a moment walked forwards features becoming clear in the light.

  He saw Aurora holding a baby in her arms that stopped with the fence a few inches away from her. Jinx walked up to the fence and placed hands on it to glare at her as she raised the baby a male towards him. He saw was wearing blue masculine clothes along with a blue cap on his head.

  He stared at the baby with a frown running through him as a vision came to his mind.

  Jinx saw a young boy child appearing to have his face while looking older able to walk. He saw the boy was doing karate easily while wearing a karate uniform with Aurora’s hair color doing karate on grass while wearing shoes. Then the boy quit to bow and walked forwards towards two figures sitting in chairs with a table and cups sitting on it in front of them and chairs surrounding it.

  Jinx saw one was Burke looking older. The other was he recognized was Deidrick with his hair completely grey. Aurora walked into view looking older with streaks of grey in her hair to sit at the table in a chair.

  Jinx saw the boy went to Burke sitting on his lap as he saw himself looking young as ever and not older walk into view looking happy carrying a tray full of food to set on the table and then himself sat down on a chair. He saw the boy child scramble off Burke’s lap to dart towards him to sit on his lap which himself rubbed a hand on the boy’s head before the child put arms around his neck while leaning against him.

  Jinx blinked his eyes of the vision as it went away as Aurora he saw walked away from him going into the darkness to stand next to a figure he could sense was Deidrick. He frowned staring at the two for they appeared to be talking by their head movements as he removed his hands from the fence to stand staring at them with his arms at his sides. He again heard the humming sound.

  He frowned as a memory popped in his mind’s eye. He was standing at a locker he recognized as his from high school in Luna with the door open while pulling out a computer pad.

  He remembering in the memory heard an annoyed female voice from behind him speaking "Ribbet."

  He grimaced recognizing it as Leanna’s turned around to face her. She yanked the pad from his hands dropping it on the floor. Jinx stared at her with annoyance running though him as she placed a hand on his chest and reached a hand towards his cheek like she was about to kiss him. He felt anger arrive shot out his hands and pushed her away from him her falling to the floor.

  He yelled at her angrily saying “We’re through! I don’t want to date you anymore so go date with someone else!”

  Jinx angrily picked up his pad and turned to slam the locker closed and turned to walk away when he felt his arm grabbed by Leanna.

  He heard her speak “Don’t do this to me, Ribbet.”

  He growled softly at name of Ribbet she always called him. He yanked her hand off his arm and walked away from her.

  He again felt his arm grabbed while hearing her speak “Your Father would approve of our match.”

  Jinx felt his control snap threw the pad and with quick moves yanked Leanna’s hand off his arm to grab her by the neck moving her to the wall thrusting her back to it. He raised Leanna’s form off the ground by his hand on her neck choking her.

  He angrily spoke “Don’t ever mention my Father to me again.”

  He heard a loud voice speaking “Robert O'Neil, put her down now!”

  Jinx growled softly recognizing the voice of Principal Edwards. He saw was standing in the hallway with arms folded a glare on his face. He obeyed releasing Leanna to the floor who bent down coughing appearing to make the choking worse off than he did to her. He bent down to pick up his pad and straightened up his form facing the principal.

  Jinx heard the Principal speak “Mister O'Neil, report for detention after school. I’ll keep this incident of you threatening Miss Banks out of your records.”

  Jinx nodded his head and walked away as one of the classroom doors opened. He saw Teacher Travis walking out with annoyance in his face.

  Jinx saw the teacher look at him who spoke with annoyance in his tone “Robert O'Neil, get yourself in the room now. Your all
otted time to get your computer pad is up.”

  He obeyed going into the room followed by the teacher who slammed the door behind him.

  He recalled soon after accused of rape that resulted in Leanna carrying a baby. She kept fingering him as the Father and he punished harshly for that.

  He continued to recall the attack on Leanna choking her was used against him as an excuse of her saying no she didn't want him. Principal Edwards seeing the choking testified at his court trial that it was retaliation against her negative answers to him asking her for a date.

  He wound up punished by the judge to have him held back a grade as a result by restarting over it followed by advancing to another grade once the school term was over with.

  Jinx felt himself annoyed of the memory. He recalled getting riled up angry whenever people mentioned his Father to him over the years as he grew up that caused him to harm people around him. He recalled his version of the attack on Leanna wasn't easily believed instead dismissed by the judge and people he told of it. He shook his head of the memory to eye Aurora and Deidrick who appeared to be still talking by their moving heads.

  He turned till they were facing his left side. He kneeled with hands resting on his thighs eyes staring at the ground with a frown on his face. He heard the electricity’s humming stop followed by a sound of a dart gun going off. He felt a prick of pain in his
