Mom placed the last of the groceries in their respective areas in the kitchen. “Finally.” She said with a sigh of relief. “Errol, are you just going to lie on the sofa the whole day? Why don’t you call some of friends so you can go hang out.” Dad said. “I don’t want to. Saturdays are meant for relaxing and being lazy.” Errol’s note said. “You know……..when I was a teenager I would go and hang out with friends on Saturdays.” Dad scratched his scalp. Errol rolled his eyes. “I’m not a teenager, I just look like one.” The note said. “Well, whatever!” Dad said. He grabbed Errol with a tight and strong grip, dragged him through the room, and out the door. “Don’t come back until you’ve had a day full of fun.” He shouted before slamming the door. ‘Jeez…….you’ve never this strict to me before.’ Errol thought as he sighed in annoyance. ‘Well, I guess I could go to Walter’s place.’ He began to walk to his best friend’s home. A small amount of the sun’s bright rays hit his face. That’s when he began to feel the terrible stings he got every-time he stood in the sun too long. ‘Come on, I can make it. Just have to open the gate and open the actual door.’ He thought. Errol then fell to the ground as soon as he closed the gate. ‘Goodbye cruel world.’ He passed out on the ground of Walter’s house. “Hey Errol.” Walter said looking down at him. Then, he dumped a bucket of water on him. Instantly that made Errol wake up. “Hello Walter.” He made out with his mouth. Whenever Errol would talk to his ‘parents’ and specific people, normally he would use a note-pad. Whenever he talked to his friends or anybody else, he would make out the words and nothing would come out. As in, his voice. So, you had to learn to lip read to understand him. He could still scream and sob though. “What are you doing here?” Walter asked. “My dad said I couldn’t come back into the house until I have a great time out.” Errol sighed. “Oh……….well, it’s really busy around here since my family’s preparing for Jaden’s birthday.” Walter stuck out his hand. “So, it’s not really the exact perfect time for you to come.” He pulled down on the shirt he was wearing with his other hand since it was slightly big on him. Errol took Walter’s hand and stood up. “Well, it was nice trying with you first.” Errol ‘said’ with a smile. He then walked out of Walter’s front yard. ‘Well, who else?’ He thought. ‘How about Oliver, he’d probably be in his family shop on break currently.’ Errol looked one way and then the other to make sure no one was in the area. ‘Might as well teleport than walk there.’ He touched his skin softly with his right hand. Errol winced when the stinging after effect kicked in, then he teleported over to Oliver’s Family Shop. The shop was a candy shop full of candies along with toys for younger children. Besides candy, the shop also sold sugary drinks or soda. With his right arm, he opened the door and walked in. Business was slow for the shop. Usually it was always like that on Saturdays. “Hello, Errol.” Oliver said before taking a sip of orange soda in a cup. He was sitting in foldable blue chair, a small TV was placed in front of him. “Hey, Oliver. What are you watching?” Errol began to walk over to Oliver. “Just the News on a different channel than the channel you watch. Apparently, that one Organization just killed 345,680 innocent people today just a moment ago.” He said getting up. ‘That’s a lot of people there, maybe I underestimated them.’ Errol thought. “Seems like they have access to a lot of big industries and weapons. Most of the people are either human or not human.” Oliver said as he stretched and unfurled his wings. The one thing that a lot of people don’t know about Oliver is that he’s a fallen angel. Despite, his appearance he is actually one of them. “Where did you get that information?” Errol asked. “I have my sources. You should have known that by now.” Oliver chuckled a bit. ‘Seems like this group is more dangerous than I thought.’ Errol thought. “I can tell by the look in your eyes that you want to destroy them.” Oliver said looking straight at Errol with his yellow eyes. “I guess it can’t be helped for you to see right through me. So, any ideas of how I can achieve this goal?” Errol tapped his fingers on the countertop of the shop. “Well, if you want to stop them. Then you have to get some help. Luckily for you, I have a few files of people I’ve helped out in the past that would probably be great members for your team.” Oliver said. “Where can I see these files?” Errol ‘said’. “Wait here for a second. I’ll go get them all.” Oliver headed to the back of the shop to go find the files. Errol looked around the candy shop. On each wall of the shop, there were shelves full of all kinds of candies as well as toys and beverages. ‘What looks good. Choco Elephant? Jelly Jammers? Bouncy Bubbletastic Bubble Gum? Creamy Caramel? Creamy Caramel............' Errol made his way over to the shelves to take a few bars of Creamy Caramel. "Errol, I'm back with the files!" Oliver said placing seven files on the counter-top. "Errol?" Oliver looked around only to find that Errol was eating some candy from the store's shelves. He sighed. "I know you have a soft spot for candy but how come you have eat my candy when you didn't even pay for it?" He asked. Errol turned his towards Oliver. "Because, it's much easier this way." Errol 'said' with a smile on his face.
