As Andrew Dashed To His Car Behind He Could See The Smoke From The Fire Reaching High Merely Covering The Clouds. "I Definitely Can Tell Ryan Ain't Rebuilding It A Third Time" He Announced Smugly Before Sitting Down In His Car. He Went To Get His Phone From His Pocket However He Notices He Must've Lost It When The Place Went Up In Flames. "Damn It My Phone" He Grumbled Before Starting Up The Car.

He Then Got A Call On His Radio As He Looked Closer On The Caller ID It Was June. "Oh She Isn't Gonna Be Happy" He Laughed Nervously As He Answered It. "Andrew.. I Know You're A Crazy Person Perhaps Insane Sometimes But ARE YOU OUT OF YOU'RE MIND!" She Yelled In Anger And Frustration However Due To Her Low Pitched Voice It Sounded More Like A Child Wining. "Well At Least I Pissed Off Ryan" He Laughed Hysterically "Well I Can't Be Mad At You I'll Cover It Up As A Mere Accidental Gas Leak" She Responded Sighing.

"Thanks June Honestly If It Weren't For You I Don't Where I'd Be Without You" He Said The Last Part Sarcastically. "A-Andrew Are You Flirting With Me?! Anyway June Out!" She Hanged Up. He Shook His Head While Carrying On Cruising Down The Street "Typical June...Hmm Right I Remember I Need To Pick Up Suzume From Dance Practice" He Nodded Before Parking Beside A Large Theater. Suzume Entered Almost Instantly Before Giving Andrew A Thumbs Up With A Grin. "Ready!" She Smiled.

"You're 12 Yet You Behave Like You're Still 5" He Sighs Suzume In Response Frowns. "You Gotta Brighten Up A Bit Sometimes Andrew And Why's You're Clothes Tattered And Burnt?" She Asked Intrigued. "Oh Just A Little Accident With The Boiler" He Laughed Nervously Before Turning On The Ignition And Beginning The Journey Home.

Meanwhile, Zlatko Found Sunny's Home Finally With A Mere Limp He Walked To The Door Knocking The Fire Did Do A Number On Him But It Wouldn't Stop Him From Completing His Task. Of Course Sunny Being The Incompetent Person He Is Opens The Door Wide Open. "Uh Hello?" He Looked In Fear At Zlatko The Mere Smell Killed His Nose.

He Stumbled Backwards Looking Up At Him "Who Are You? Dog Man? But You're Dead!" He Screamed. Dog Man's Head Titled To The Left In Amusement "You See Mortal You Don't Understand I Never Die, I Never Rest!" He Charged At Sunny And Grabbed Him By The Collar Launching Him Into The Table Merely Knocking Him Out.

As Zlatko Used His Thermal Scanner He Detected Something Interesting As He Opened One Of The Drawers. He Found A Gun With One Bullet "Huh Interesting" He Spoke In Intrigue Before Throwing The Gun To Sunny As The Latter Woke Up He Saw The Gun Laying On His Chest. "Hmm I Understand You Sunny What You Must Be Suffering With... Is Depression A Common Killer" He Sighs Helping Sunny Up Surprisingly.

When He Mentioned Depression Sunny Looked To The Side, "How Did You Know?" He Asked With A Sigh. "I Can Tell You Mortals Apart Easily What You Must Be Feeling And Thinking However A Thing I Don't Understand Why Cling Onto Life?" He Asked Seriously.

"Because I Love My Sister!" He Replied Determined But With A Tear. "Love You're Sister? But Doesn't She Ignore You And Belittle You!" He Walked Close To Sunny Getting Into His Face Sunny Could Smell His Breath It Was Like A Rotting Carcass. "I... I...." Sunny Stammered Knowing He Couldn't Argue About That. "Not To Mention What's So Fun About Life Anyway When Nobody Loves You And Everybody Thinks You're A Nuisance" He Whispered Into Sunny's Ear.

Sunny Didn't Reply Because Somehow He Believed He Was Right. "So Pull The Trigger! Fulfill You're Destiny! Do What Must Be Done To End You're Torment" He Snickered. Then The Phone Started Ringing Suddenly It Was Andrew, "Hmm Hold That Thought For A Minute" He Commanded Walking Over To The Shelf And Picking Up The Phone.

As He Answered It He Heard Andrew Yet Again. "Well Well Andrew It's Only Been An Hour And We Finally Speak Again" He Joked With Smirk. As Andrew Heard His Voice, Fear Infected His Mind "How... How Are You Alive!" He Yelled Through Phone At Zlatko. "It's Simple I'm Relentless And I Never Die" He Snickers. "Now You Got 5 Minutes Before I Convince You're Little Friend To Shoot Himself" He Answered In A Serious Tone Before Crushing The Phone.

Once The Call Was Hanged Up Andrew Turned His Car Around Quickly And Illegally But He Didn't Care His Friends Life Was On The Line. "Suzume We Need To Make A Detour And Save You're Big Bro" He Revved The Engine As He Floored It.

Back At Sunny's House However Zlatko Was Getting Impatient, "Back To You Sunny" He Smiled Sunny Was Now Sat In Front Of The Table.

"Do You Really Think It's Worth It?" Sunny Asked Anxiously. "Hmm Interesting Question Mortal... However I Think The Mortal Life Is Meaningless Why Do You Think I Attained This Immortal Body In The First Place... Why Chase After Love When This World Won't Give You The Love Back That's Like Chasing A Ghost...You'll Never Catch Up To It" He Sighed Shaking His Head.

He Looked To The Side, He Knew Somehow He Was Right. He Looked Reluctantly At The Gun In Front Of Him But There Was No Other Way Either This Or Suffer More He'd Probably Kill Sunny If He'd Decline Anyway. He Picked Up The Gun And Held It Towards His Head And Took A Deep Breath His Hand Shaking And His Heart Racing.

Zlatko Looked Intrigued And A Sly Smile Appeared On What Little Skin He Had Left. Before Long He Pressed Down On The Trigger And There Was A Loud Bang And Flash As Blood Splattered On The Table Like Red Paint. Sunny Fell Lifeless Onto The Floor As A Single Tear Came Out His Right Eye.

"You All Perish The Same In The End" Zlatko Added Before Walking Through The Back Door.
