Chapter 3
(Howie�s View)
I sat at the table & started writing checks for my bills. I heard a knock at my door. I went over to the door & opened it. There were four men standing there. One looked very familiar. I asked them what they wanted.

�Mr. Dorough, I am Dr. Andrew Newman Jr. & I am here to talk to you,� The familiar one said.

I slammed the door shut, locked it, & backed away from it. I knew who Andrew Newman Jr. was; his father was the one that had ruined my life. I heard someone open the back door. I hid in the largest closets in my house praying they wouldn�t look there. I had enough with ILab & my best bet was they were after Kara again. She was at school, with her brother as were the twins. Christie had gone grocery shopping & had taken Hannah with her. The closet door opened & I swung the baseball bat I had bought only 11 years before to defend myself against anybody. It knocked 1 man unconscious. Before I could bring the bat up again for another swing a gun was placed on my chest.

�Drop the bat Mr. Dorough I just want to talk,� Dr. Newman said.

I reluctantly threw the bat away from my body & the gun was withdrawn.

�Now Mr. Dorough, I think I have something you want,� he said.
�What could you have that I want,� I asked.
�Your ticket out of paralysis,�
�What�s the cost,�
�A couple of things you treasure,� he said as he took out a container or orange liquid.
�No deal, I know what your up to.�
�Where are your children Dorough?�
�You don�t need to know that.�
�Kill him,�
