The Past (1)
Logan heard his mother's footsteps rushing down the staircase, alongside Elena's. The way his mother rushed down told him whoever rang the doorbell was an expected visitor and this made him sulk further, wondering how long the conversation would go on.
Logan watched from where he sat and his mother opened their door to a strange man who walked in first, accompanied by ten bulky-looking men.
The sizes of the men scared him and he wheeled himself further under the staircase to hide himself more.
His father also came downstairs and exchanged pleasantries with all of the men. Though his father smiled, Logan could tell that his father was wondering what all the bulky men had to do coming into his house.
It was night already and under the staircase was dark which served to Logan's advantage.
The whole house was brightened up except under the staircase and the little boy stayed there, watching all that was about to unfold.
