their destiny. The struggles to make the world a better place."
"Thank you Travis. I felt better. But I’ll never forgive that monster!" Roger said in such a vengeful tone.
"You need to find time to calm your mind and heart Roger. Sometimes revenge is not the answer. The only solution to all problems is to forgive. I know this is very difficult for you. Revenge wont bring the dead back to life. You are not a murderer. If you seek revenge and kill her, it makes you no different than her. A killer. She will have her punishment, maybe not sooner or later. Believe in God, He will do what is the best for us. His help will come not that early and not that late, but it will come at the right time. Believe in yourself what is right and believe in Him." I was glad to see him much more at ease this time. Maybe what I said to him affected the way he thinks. Claire was still busy looking at her old stuff in her bedroom and her late father’s bedroom. She missed those moments with her father and by visiting this place it would probably cure the longing to remember those sweet memories. I am sure she got what she wanted now and treasure every moments while she was here. "So Roger do you want to come with us? I mean I want you to stay with us. It wouldn’t good if you stay here all alone. We don’t know if she’s still around here, it’s best to stick together." I offered Roger a nice welcoming invitation to have him stay with us. He was still hesitating. "What do you say? I have a dog at home and his name is Prince. Am sure he will be a good friend to you." His face expression changed the moment I told him about the dog.
"Sure! Thank you Travis. Beside what you said is true, this house has been my next stop since few years ago. Only that I have no one here anymore." Roger smiled while swallowing something as the gulp on his throat moving up and down. "Give me few minutes while I pack up my clothes and other stuff." He jumped from the sofa to the back side and up the stairs to settle his things. I was happy to have a new member in the family. This count as four, including Prince.
"He’s joining us?" asked Claire.
"Yeah he is, he’s a very high spirited boy. Remind me when I was younger."
"That’s great, at least we have more hands on our team." She said while folding her arms.
"He’ll be good. Will you train him?" I asked.
"Am sorry, but I don’t train anyone or take any student. He’s on his own. Knows how to shoot is good enough already."
"I knew you would say that." I giggled mischievously when suddenly Claire hit me on the head. She’s one hell of a lady. Not long after Claire gone outside, Roger went downstairs complete with his luggage, bag and some medium size boxes. "Excuse me, what are those?" I pointed to the boxes Roger brought down.
"Oh these… These are my ammunition for shotguns and some extra weapons."
"Oh! Well let me help you with those. Bad news, I don’t have my car with me so we just need to carry this, I live not that far from here."
"Are you kidding me?" Roger said.
"We are going with my Lambo."
"You have Lambo?" I was surprised like a little boy receiving his first christmas present! Then Roger push the button on the remote key and the garage next to the house was opened slowly. There, laid a black Lamborghini Gallardo.

To Stand For What Is Right
"Where did you get this beast?" I was curious enough to know more about it. As far as I know there were no auto mobile store that sold car near by, especially in this small town.
"I don’t have this baby until two years ago, I got it from another city in Green Dale. It was the last car that was untouched and in good condition. The others were already taken and some were smashed and destroyed by some explosion. I changed car each time I saw a better one, used to drive a Mini Volkswagen. I am lucky to have this one spared." As we chat in the car, we passed by Claire who walked by foot and drove up the hill where my apartment
