 Adam was at school when he was pulled out of class it was only 5th period when this happened. The day was so windy and cold, the cloud was so doomed as it signs to rain heavily . The principal of Dumstrang School, Mr. Davis pulled him into his office and he quietly told Adam to grab the phone someone wanted to talk to him,  Adam walked towards Mr. Davis and took the phone,

  "Hello?"

There was someone on the other phone , it was the voice of a female

she talked with a soft voice but sounded professional.

 "Is this the son of Mrs .Granger?"

Adam responded back

 "Yes, umm who is this?"

*Mr. Davis sat there quietly in his chair*

The lady on the other hand said, 

 "I'm so sorry to tell you this... My name is Grace, I'm a nurse at Lurkins Hospital, Mrs. Granger suffered several stabs, unusual bruises and cut on her stomach. We tried to save her, but her body can't take it anymore,"

* Adam froze, his knees was shaking, triggering his tears to fall. The world comes to and end as he know the fact that his mother died... He gave the phone back to Mr. Davis and covered his face as he was in tears*

Adam: "I don't have anywhere to live now.. What am I going to do? Who

do I live with now?" he mumbled as his tears flowed down his cheeks. 

* Adam sit there in the chair with most saddest face as his expression, as his happy and cheeky face started to fade *

Mr. Davis : " It'll be okay, could you get into contact with your family member, perhaps your dad?" While looking for Adam's info on the computer

* Adam began to say shyly, wiping the tears from his face *

Adam: " M-my dad?" He  was in puzzled. 

flashbacks

6 years ago.. 

It is still clear in my mind, the time where mom told me about a man, whom used to be my father.. Mom really loves him, as I can see the sparkle in her eyes whenever she talks about my father. She never missed a day to narrate about my father.  He is a busy, workaholic guy, tall and a white guy. And that makes me who am I right now, I am a half black and  a half white. He rarely has time to spend with his family. I don't even know what his face look like.. Whenever I ask mom about it, she refused to tell because it would put me in danger,  but one day I will be able to see him, once she settled her "work" . I only know my father's name, it's Michael. Michael Granger.  Somehow I wish I could meet him one day.

Mr. Davis: " Give me one second son. "

Mr. Davis hung up the phone and lie  his fingers on the computer keyboard, he soon begun to type as his hands moving rapidly

Mr. Davis: "I'm pretty sure we can get in contact with your father somehow, don't worry 

everything is going to be okay . "

* Adam sat in silence *

Mr.Davis: " I think I found a number and an address.. Micheal Granger?" 

Adam: " Umm, yeah? " he answered it with hesitation

* Mr. Davis dialed in the number that he found online *

* Ring... Ringggg.. Click. *

Mr.Davis: " Hello is this Mr.  Micheal Granger? "

Micheal: "Yes I am. Who is this?"

Mr. Davis: " This is the principal at Adam's school, Mr. Davis. I have sad news,  Rehina just passed away in the hospital a couple of minutes ago, and your son is with me right now." 

There was a 3 second pause before Micheal said anything, he barely knows nothing about his son, Adam since his wife, Rehina disappeared. A lot of questions keep playing on his mind, like how did they know his number? Did Rehina still checking up on him? Why on the earth the misery hit his life just in a speed of light. It ripples his heart into pieces and made him lose one of his soul.  Little did they know that he missed his wife and son dearly. 

Micheal: " Jesus, what happened.. Can I get the school address so I can come and pick him up? "

Mr.Davis: " Sure sir, it is Potter Street Cronox City 87711. "

Micheal: " Alright I'll be there soon, can I talk to my son? "

Mr.Davis: " Yes, sure he's right here."

* Davis gave the phone to Adam *

Micheal: " Adam? "

Adam: " D-d-dad is that y-you? "

Micheal: " Where on the earth have you guys been? I keep looking for you and your mom since the day both of you left me alone. Are you okay? I'm on my way to your school right now"

Adam was shocked. We left him? b-b-but w-why? Why did mom do this?  mumbled his heart. 

Adam: "W-w-what's happening? I don't understand"

Micheal: " I'm trying to find that out, I won't be long alright. It must be something related to your mother's past "

* Adam Hung up the phone and gave it to Mr.Davis *

"Thanks for the call Mr. Davis", said Adam to Mr. Davis.

He slowly wiped his tears off. He clenched his fist and will to find someone that related to his mother's past, which believed to cause her death.

My mom's past? What is it? I-I-I just don't get it, cried Adam's heart. 

 Adam slowly walked out the principal's room and headed to the school lobby. He sat on a bench. He looked out of the window, watching the ground hailed the rain. The combination of the millions of shock waves that gave the thunder keep rumbling his world on that day. It is a miserable day for him, as his mother passed away and his father came out of the blue to his life after 12 years of not being together as a normal family. How he wish he has the brain of Sherlock Holmes, just to disentangle the knot of the puzzle he face right now.  He sighed as he released all his burderns away.

Suddenly..
