Jackey phone rang and when she picked it up someone told her that Janel parents die, Jackey screamed and asked Jim and Janel to let go even though the two were asking her what is going on but she refused to talk, Jackey asked her driver to drive them to the clinic immediately.

When they got there Janel asked what are their doing here? Jackey said she is sorry but her parent's corpse is in this clinic, Janel heartbeat stop for some seconds while her eyes were narrowed and she looked straight into Jackey's eyes then asked her what is going on here? 

Jackey asked one of the nurses about Mr. and Mrs. Boldwell and the nurse took the three of them to where the couple corpse is. Janel screamed, cried bitterly then ran out of the clinic. 

Jim and Jackey followed her but couldn't see where she takes it was around 6 pm. Jim and Jackey were worried and they report to the police but the police said Janel can't be declared missing yet because it is not up to 24hours.

Jim and Jackey were scared that Janel might do something stupid to herself since she has nobody again. While Janel was sitting inside her classroom crying and she remembers when she was about to clock 5years, how her parents promised her a lot of toys. 

But on her way back home her nanny received a call that both parents died in a motor accident. Because of this Janel blocked her heart and have the thought that she is nothing but a bad luck child.

One of the school authorities was checking all the classrooms maybe it was locked and when he got to Janel's classroom he discovered that the door was opened and he on the torchlight he was holding to check maybe there is anybody inside.

Because it late already, Janel hide under someone's locker so the authority did not see her and when he left after locking the door Janel opened the classroom window from inside and sneak out and heads home when she got home.

She went to her parent's room directly, she cried so much and slept off, the next day Jim and Jackey drop by the house to see Janel but, the house as if nobody is in there. Janel heard the voice of Jim and Jackey but she refused to see them.
