Whoever the shooter was, I was grateful to him.
The man came towards me and asked, "Don’t tell me this man is Rick Tarot." He pointed at David, "The person whom I am supposed to take care of is in his early seventies, stays in this house and –"
I caught my nose and tried to get up, "And now he is injured as well."
I looked up at the man and asked, "Who are you? And how do you know me?" I never had seen him before.
"Ueleblacker. Your son sent me here to see if you all right or not." Ueleblacker turned the corpse and said, "I guess I came in right time."
"The best time you could arrive in." Toothless Tarot smirked, "Where is Joey?"
"He had an accident." He gave me unpleasant news.
"What? –"
"Don’t worry old man, he'll live. You've got some broken bones but you'll live too."
"Where's Joey? I thought he had abandoned me!"
"He changed his mind! In fact," Ueleblacker knelt near me to get on my level, "abandoning you was his compulsion, not the will. Now be sure he will come here. Just you should wonder how the hell he is coming here –"
"What happened to him?" I interrupted him.
"He will live! He was the one who had sent me here to look after you. He has made a brutal mercenary become a butler for an old man."
"Mercenary?!" I was surprised, "Where are his wife and son?"
"Ask when Joey comes –"
"Are they alive? Did they die like people died here? Children died here in a sudden –"
"I know. I had heard it yesterday in news. Joey has no idea about this but sooner or later he'll get to know. Call your son, he's worried about you." Ueleblacker said.

"What about his wife and my grandson?"
Ueleblacker remembered what Joey and he had discussed about story of their disappearance, "She eloped and ran away with your grandson. I don’t know where they have gone…"
"He chose you over them. He chose father over a woman and an offspring!" he didn’t know if he was telling what was discussed or not. But it seemed to be working, "First he was choosing them but later he chose you. He will come here after he is well."
I stared at him with no expression. Could I believe him?
"Do you have first aid box in this cat – house" he looked at some cats, "or not?"
"That door, it's in there." I pointed at the kitchen.
"You should go to hospital, I reckon –"
"Few broken teeth aren't something worth to visit a doctor for." I said.
Ueleblacker nod and went inside kitchen and came out with first aid box.
"But my grandson –"
I had killed that adopted grandson by my own hanhands. Now I am dressing his grandfather…."The next time you mention them will be the last moment of mine in this place. Do you get me?"
I nodded and it was no surprise of him.
Ueleblacker continued after looking at the corpse, "Tons of corpses are in this place so we don’t need cover up for this body. I will dump it on the street and you will scrub this place whether you can or not."
