The Next Morning. ~Evelyn~"Huh?"She turned in bed. It seemed like she was hearing a continuous noise in her subconsciousness. She turned again, covering her face in the duvet. But the noise and muffled sound in her head kept getting louder and louder. She succumbed to the urge and opened her eyes. Then did she realize that the noise wasn't in her subconsciousness but real. In fact it was coming right outside her room. In the house. "What's that noise?"She sat up suddenly."Did they turned up the volume of the TV that loud?"She grunted but then listened closely. It seemed to be more than that. She could be sure."Isn't that mom's voice?"She rolled down the bed and hurried to the door without wearing flip-flops. She pressed her left ear to the door,"Why is she shouting that loudly?"She complained? She recalled what had happened yesterday. They

       Same.~The Four~"My mom called me. She was worried about me and told me about the case to scare me to come back home. And she warned that whatever baby I see, no matter how cute, I shouldn't stare right into its face."They all stared at Devin, the younger, as though he was some priest from the Common Era. Evelyn was yet standing at the back of the large sofa, Devin, the elder, seated on the single sofa. Iseult standing in the middle of the set sofa with the baby in her hand. The baby whose slit throat had healed up immediately, but leaving a scar at where the impact was registered. The baby had cooed to sleep. Devin, the elder, said,"If what you said is right. Then, it means that we have two strange babies. And while one is obviously dangerous, the other is considerably harmful."Iseult took her turn, the baby gently clasped to her breast,"Does that mean that the baby who killed Jacob, the priest a

       On the way. ~The four~"That was stupid."That was the first group of words to be spoken after ten minutes of silence since they'd been in the car. And twas Devin's words and car. Devin, the elder. The cops had taken the baby from them since it's now a threat to the citizens. And has been isolated, monitored by shifts of Police officers. Though each police officer monitoring was sure not to stare at the baby for long. They only take a glance and look away top quickly. Iseult was almost locked away for harboring such threat in her house but Devin, the elder had pleaded with the Sheriff to let her off the hook, claiming that there were a lot of things tied to the events. He had promised the Sheriff to get to the root of it all, but all he could do at that moment was scold Iseult with words. "What did you say?"Iseult turned to him. She was seated next to him at the front. D

      Sheriff's Office. ~The Sheriff and the Devins~"Well, it all started as a bit of a convo, before it derails into ermm... an argument. And then it heated till it went out of hand."The Sheriff paused for a while. His face was an epitome of the multitudinous emotions he could not find words for. He leaned forward in the chair, thrusting his frame forward like he would offer his body like a burnt offering to the two Devins. He further expatiated, like a priest would break the bread for blessed communion. "Okay. It went... Hey, Sheriff, information got to us about some baby locked away here. At first we dismissed it almost immediately because that was more than ridiculous. But then, the news kept building, so we had no choice but to come check out."The Sheriff, having pretended to be one of the GCA's officials switched to his part,"Well, gentlemen and women. I can't say you heard wrongly. But not all the inform

       Same. ~Terror~"Hell. For a moment I thought my heart will jump out of my chest or through my lungs."Mr Morgan laughed, holding the baby in his hands as he made it sit on the table, facing him. "Mr Morgan, hand the baby over here. It's not just any kind of baby."Devin Snr urged as he moved closer to Mr Morgan, who kept breaking eye contact with the baby, as he looked away from the baby to Devin Snr occasionally. "Don't be silly, man. This must be one of the babies of one of the female staff. The baby must be looking for its mom."Mr Morgan maintained his argument as he looked away from Devin Snr again, holding the baby's balance on the edge of the table. He looked back at cooing baby but Devin Jrn came on,"Come to think of it, Uncle. Was this baby here when we came in?"Mr Morgan shook his head,"I don't think so, but that's not the point."Devin Jnr continued
