       The office was quiet as usual. Everyone is at their usual seats waiting for something to happen. Pete Blunt was struggling to stay awake, Bobby Blunt is just sitting on his chair leaning back, Ricky Fox is writing something on a piece of paper, William Kenmore is on the computer playing what looks like a retro platforming game, and Shinda is sitting on her seat with an emotionless look on her face. The whole gang feels a bit uneasy because a paid scientist died during his interrogation. They suspect it was set off by some device, so they get the feeling they are being watched. Despite that case closed, the whole crew can't rest easy for they don't know who paid Franklin to do the deed.
       Bobby Blunt felt his cell phone ringing. It was his mom. "Hello?" He said as he answered sitting on his desk.
       "Hey son. How are you?" Asked Bobby's mom.
       "I'm fine." Bobby replied.
       "If you guys have time, would you and your father come meet me at Uncle Ben's Restaurant for lunch?"
       "Oh yeah. That sounds great. I'll see you at 1 then?"
       "Sure. Don't forget to tell your father."
       "Right." Bobby looks at his father Pete only to find that he fell asleep. "See you later then?"
       "Yeah. G'bye!"
       "Bye." They both hung up.
       Bobby stood up from his seat and walked up to his father to wake him up.  He tapped him once then Pete woke up.
       "Morning sleepyhead." Bobby said to his half-asleep father.
       "What time is it?" Pete asked as he started looking at the clock. The clock read 11:45. "So what is it?" He was talking to his son.
       "Mom wants to see us at Uncle Ben's Restaurant at 1."
       "Oh, does she now. Well we'll be there all right." Pete smiled.
       Pete stood up and stretched. He even heard some bones cracking as he did so.
       "Well we have a bit over an hour left before we get to see her. What should we do?" Pete asked patting his son on the back.
       "Well it's been a while since we talked about our family. Why don't we talk about that?" Bobby suggested.
       "Want to go back to memory lane now, huh? Well let's not do it here since this is a family business."
       With that said, Pete and Bobby walked up to the stairs that led to the roof. They chatted a little bit and even had a few laughs. They eventually started talking about how their family was like back then.
       "I remember when you were about five years old." Pete started talking. "We used to run around the park with your mom. You were so small back then, and so light I could carry you around to make you fly. Now look at how you've grown. I don't think I can carry you above my shoulders anymore."
       "Ah, the good old days." Bobby said. "I would remember that time when we went on vacation to Hawaii and swam with the dolphins, or when we went to the planetarium, or that one time during birthdays when we used to eat that birthday special spaghetti together for dinner. We'd have laughs and had fun. But now we are in need of money and mom has to travel abroad to simply take snapshots of the world. We don't have those fun times anymore. If only just once, I could feel like a child again."
       As they were talking, they both noticed Shinda peeping near a wall. She looks like a stalker with the emotionless face she usually has.
       "Something wrong Shinda?" Bobby asked.
       Shinda slowly got out of her hiding spot, then slowly walked up to the two related men. "Must be nice to have a family." She said. "I don't even remember what my parents look like anymore."
       Bobby just remembered that Shinda's parents died while she was young, so she never had a normal child life. Ricky then got a phone call. He looked at who was calling him. It turned out to be his wife. He answered.
       "Hello?" Pete said after picking up.
       "Hello honey?" Said a voice. She sounded scared as she was heavily breathing. "Forget our plans about lunch. Don't come to Uncle Ben's, I repeat, don't come to Uncle Ben's."
       "Sweetie, are you alright?"
       Pete then heard a scream which was followed by sounds of blades going through flesh. What can only be heard after that was screams from other people in the building. The line got cut a few seconds afterwards.
       "Hello?" Pete said in a very worried and scared tone.
       Ricky then came up rushing up to the roof. "Something very terrible is happening." He said. "There's a massacre going on at Uncle Ben's Restaurant."
       Pete and Bobby's eyes grew wide after hearing what Ricky has to say. They immediately rushed to the car along with Ricky and Shinda, and quickly drove to Uncle Ben's hoping that they'll be able to see their mother and wife again.
