Chapter-9: life at home.

All officers sit quietly at one place and listening back story of Vick. They all will get answers of their questions.

Flashback.

Orphanage home was in Victoria land away from cities but little bit close also. Vick and his friends were small and rest children were very small and don't use to go school. Other children, who are grown up and went from Orphanage.

 Mother Martha took all five of them at government school for their admission.

"Name?"

Hank, Summer, Alex, Mark, Vick.

"OK."

"W…I…"

Mother stop that madam and said, "Madam, his name starts from V not with W."

That madam was surprised. "But…"

Mother Martha, "Yes, but we want his name with alphabet V."

"OK."

They all get admission and their study begins.

While going school Vick used to look at Police officers who were standing on road side cleaning traffic. He was watching them very carefully. He was looking at their cap, their cloth.

After sometime.

In school when teacher was asking questions about their future. "What they want to become, when they grow up?"

Students were shouting at class, Madam entered. She saw all students were shouting.

"Silence… take your seats."

…

"Class today I will ask you a question. Tell me one by one, what you want to become when you grow up?"

One by one students of class stand and tell what they want to become.

Madam, "ok. Vick… what you want to become?"

He stands from his seat, he looks outside from window and saw an officer were sitting inside a car and looking around. Like, he was looking around if someone want his help.

…

Madam, "Vick!! Answer."

Vick, "I want to become a Police officer."

His answer was different from other. Where other choose different path but he chooses this path. Madam was impressed. "Good."

At night when five of them were sitting together and talking about present day, they were talking about question asked by their madam.

Hank, "I said that I will choose army."

Rest three were also said, "really… we three also had choose same line."

They look at Vick.

"What?"

Hank, "what about you?"

He was about to answer but Alex stopped him.

"He wants to become a Police officer. Dude told me."

Rest were appreciating him.

After sometime.

Mother called them for having food. They all went and talking on dinner table.

Grandmother, "Vick, Summer told me that you had choose to become a Police officer and rest will go to army."

…

"I am very happy to hear this."

Children who were small and sitting around, they said, "it means that they will also go from her just like rest, who went from her."

All five of them were looking at that small boy. And after this they look at all three mothers.

That night,

Vick was lying on his bed. His back was on the wall, both hands were behind his head and both legs were crossed. That time, there was no one in the bedroom hall.

…

Doors opened and all his four friends entered.

 Vick, "oh!! you both. Female had another section."

Both smiled. "Shut… up."

"We want to talk."

…

They sit on his bed. Summer sit on his left side, Alex on his left and both Hank and Mark… they sit on his leg side. Vick fold his legs for making place to sit.

"What do you want to talk?"

…

They were silent.

Summer, "we all know that… right now in this house, five of us are elder. And after three more years… we will walk towards our goals. SO,"

Vick, "So, what?"

Alex speak in between. "So, who will take care of house because there is no much staff. Everything used to do by Mothers except cleaning."

Vick did not say any words from his mouth.

"Go, and have a good sleep. Good night."

All four stand and walk outside with surprise.

"What!! Not even a single word."

Every morning, Vick use to do practice of different fighting style and small children use to see him and clap.

When he was doing practice, his mind was repeating all lines said by his friends. He was doing punching practice but instead of using punching bag, he was using a wooden piece.

He was continues punching and his mind was anger.

He was talking inside.

"Days passed but those children, who use to grown up here… they don't even come here to meet their mothers."

He was keeps on punching.

That wooden piece start having cracks at last, he punched with all his force and that piece break into two parts.

He was controlling his breath.

Children get scared and run inside. Summer was standing there and looking at him.

"You made all children scared."

…

He looks at her and sit on a bench.

"By the way, today landlord is coming."

He looks at her again.

"I want to meet him."

She was surprised.

Vick go to Grandmother and asked about land lord but she refuse to tell him. Vick argued, after sometime she told about him.

"This place was donated by his father but after he died, his son starts taking rent. It is wright because legally we can't do anything."

Vick, "I want to meet him."

He sits will all three mothers and wait for him to come. His friends ask him not to interfere in between. But Vick don't listen to them.

He said, "if there is a problem then we all have to face it and solve by ourselves."

After hearing this from him, they also sit and waiting for that man.

Finally, landlord came there.

He was there with his man. He took a seat and look all five of them. he said in his greedy voice.

"Myself… Eddy. Owner of this place. My father donates this house and place to you. He was kind heart but I am not. I will allow you but I want rent."

Five of them were listening to them.

Mother gave them money, the amount was 5000$ dollars. He took that money and went from there.

That night on dinner table.

Children finished their food and went for sleep. On the table there are seven people, five friends and two mothers.

Vick, "mothers I want to say something."

…

All stared at him.

"From today onwards, we will take care of house… whether we are here or somewhere."

Everyone went for sleep but they were still sitting on dinner table. They were thinking that what we should do.

They decide to make a plan.

"Summer and Alex decide to work as helper in malls.

Hank and Mark decide to do night works."

But Vick decide to do something else.

He decided to do something odd.

Next day.

In school there was a break time. All students were talking to there friends, that time Vick was sitting with his friend Dude.

He doesn't have any other friends except Vick because everyone knows about his father that his father uses to do bad works also.

Vick, "I need to know about those places where fight use to happen."

"Means… illegal fight."

Dude shocked.

"Give me a time."

After some days, he gives all details of those places where fight use to happen. He take a look. "OK."

His friends also got night work. They all are lucky, they got work at same place.

They tell everything about both mothers. They were also happy, but Vick did not say anything about his work but his friends were more cleaver than him.

At night.

They forced him to answer their question. Finally, he breaks his quit.

"Illegal fight."

All were shocked but Hank was laughing.

Summer shouted at him.

"Why the hell you are laughing?"

He controls his laugh and said, "I know that he will do something odd but… such an odd thing come in his mind. I am surprise."

Four of them went to mothers and tell them.

"Mother… look. He said that he will do illegal fight. Ask him."

In sweet voice Grandmother ask him.

"Vick… why?"

Vick, "I don't know why… but I think… when I became a Police officer. That time this will help me for catching scoundrels because I already know about them."

 Summer was wondering and talking to herself.

"Why he is saying this?"

But she shocked that time when Grandmother agree.

"OK. Do what you want but remember after joining Police. You have to leave this all."

Mother Martha, Summer, Alex, Mark were shocked but Hank was laughing.

"I am sorry. I can't control my laugh."

Looking at him, rest friends also start laughing and after that both mothers also laughed.

After sometime at school, there was a class going on and Dude and Vick both were talking.

There will be a fight going to happen.

Vick, "when and where?"

Dude, "don't worry I will come and take you from your house."

It was Friday, Dude told him that fight will be tomorrow night. I will come at your house and take you.

Next day Vick went with him at night.

Both mothers were watching him.

Mother Martha, "you should stop him but…?"

Grandmother smiled and look at her.

"Martha… first time, when I had Vick on my hand that time, I noticed that he is the boy who will solve our problem.  We can't stop him.  Why I am saying this… you know."

…

"Don't worry… I know him, he will be fine."
