The Stunning... (Part4)

"I'll be back later before closing this store. Kindly gather some men who are capable to remove something fragile." I said to the head manager there. I'm beginning to ask myself, what is going on? I decided to go back to the hospital and pharmacy again to search for the huge painting same as at the house, maybe I could find the clue why there is Cloniel inside the wall. I have to figure out everything that my family is getting thru. Wait! That painting, the painting is familiar! It was my artwork before when I was at the hospital because I was sick. I used to have a weak body when I was still a child maybe same as the age of Cloniel. I saw the same painting at operating room, the only one huge O.R. on the hospital, the rest... same sizes. This one is smaller than the second one at the restaurant; I can't lift it alone that's why I ask for some help. I saw a safety box behind it. The guards who helped me left the O.R. I look at it. "What must be the things in it?" I whispered. I was shock when the safety box opened. My eyes began to open wider when I saw the stuffs inside it. One-inch length and half an inch width size of gold bars! "Do I have to take it or what?" I ask.

"Daddy, take it all and keep it here inside your bag." Cloniel said.

I look at him. I guess, I have to take it then go. After taking all of it, I close the safety box again and gather all my strength to carry the painting back to its position since I carry the first painting that was the most huge I saw from the second and third. Finally, I reached the pharmacy. At the first searching, I found the same painting inside the office of my deceased mother. It's smaller than the third. When I lift it, I saw a box full of gems, I didn't look at it I just took it then left after I placed the painting back to the wall. It's already eight in the evening when I and Cloniel reached the restaurant. It's already half closed, few of the crews there were cleaning. The manager did what I exactly told him. While few were cleaning the dining area, the capable crews and I started removing the glass painting on the wall. "Slowly, be more careful because will going to take it back, okay?" I instruct them as they land it carefully to the ground. I saw a box five inches in all of its side. I called Cloniel to carry it for me then we started to bring it back to the wall same as the position before I and the crews removed it. I thanked all of the crews who helped the manager and me as well. I put the box inside my bag pack and left the restaurant.

We went to the grocery to buy Cloniel his needs, went to the drive-thru to order some meal for the supper tonight. The moment Cloniel and I reached the gate, I really felt something strange. I carried Cloniel and opened the gate same as normal routine. I listen very carefully.

"Your here." said my high school friend with a smile on his lips. "We're at the garden that's why we didn't notice it's the time."

Garden? How's that be? I locked the garden so no one could ever use it as an hide out there. There's something going on here. "Garden or the mini garden?" I asked.

"The garden, your greenhouse over there is locked. Why?"

I just smiled. "Nothing, by the way... Did you eat dinner already?" I asked.

"Not yet because we're waiting for you, Dude don't get us wrong, okay?"

I laughed. "I have something here. I'll just change and Cloniel then we'll be eating with you." I said. "Yuck! Cloniel you stink." I said as an alibi for me to escape.
