Morgan Bandicoot: Somber ch.7
Morgan was still unsure of this 'someone special'. At the moment, he, Monroe, Luke, and Jesse were walking down a hall towards a metal door. Lights were very dim in the hallway, but Morgan could still see the toothy grins on both Monroe and Luke's faces. He had no idea what or who they were going to show him, and whatever it was, he knew he wouldn't like it. As they neared the door, he could hear whining from a little kid. The door opened for him to enter, engulfing him in the darkness. Nothing was visable, but the whining grew louder. Monroe flicked on the light for a better sight of Morgan's expression, "Go on, and see who it is . . ."
For a second, the boy looked up at the scientist, and then went back into checking out the source of the noise. The room was very small, being more like the size of a large, walk-in closet. Placed against a far wall was a medium-sized box with holes in it. This had to be where the noise was coming from! Slowly, Morgan wrapped his hands around the handles of the box and pulled the top off to take a look inside. His jaw dropped as he soon threw the top far from him. Wider grins had found ways on to the bad guys' faces at that.
In the box, little Remy glared up at Morgan with scared eyes. The poor kid was only wearing shorts to fight off the chilling temperatures, he was covered with bruises, and tears filled his eyes. Although Morgan really had no interest for his sister's son, he still felt pity for the younger boy. He picked Remy up into his arms and turned to face the others, "How could you do this? He's barely even two years old!"
Luke growled, "We want you to do us a little favor . ."
"What is it . . ?"
"End his life."
Morgan's eyes got wide, "What?! I can't do that!"
"Why would that be? You have feelings for him? Look at you . . You're a freak of nature. Do you really think that he'll like you as he grows up?"
"It doesn't matter! My sister loves him!"
Monroe was the next to speak up, "Does your sister respect your gifts?"
"Why? What does that have to do with anything?"

The cellular phone rang withing Avril's pocket, waking her up from her short nap beside Ray's hospital bed. It even caught Ray's attention for the moment. "Hello?"
Ray could tell the news on the other side of the phone wasn't great by the look on her mother's face. After hanging up, Avril glared at her daughter. "It was Jim . . ."
"What happened? Is he alright? What about Remy?"
"Ray . . . , Jim got into a fight with Luke trying to protect Remy . . . While they were fighting, Jesse took him . ."
