Aston exited the car and walked in the darkened alley together with his two trusted men, they were bringing the bag that contains ten million dollars. They entered a dilapidated building that used to be a movie house in the early days.

Outside the door of the movie house, there was a parked vehicle and two men were guarding the entrance.

They entered the door and went inside.

Aston saw his boss known as ~The Mole~wearing a plain black mask over his face, flanked by two men wearing the same mask, he was sitting on one of the chairs inside the movie house. He'd never seen his actual face before, their means of communication was through phones and laptops. His boss was the one that supplied him and his men with people to kidnap. His Boss has in-depth knowledge on who are the filthy rich member of the society and know their weaknesses as well. The Mole provided them the intelligence report such as thorough information of the victims family and activities, while he and his men execute the kidnapping and extract the money, they always split the ransom money afterward. He and his men do the dirty work while his boss provided them the valuable information.

"Boss, we already bring the money with us," Aston said.

He commanded his two men to give the bag of money to The Mole's men.

The Mole's bodyguard received the money and placed it on their boss's lap. Their boss took a peek inside the black bag, feeling satisfied in what he saw inside the bag...he grinned from ear to ear.

"Good job, Anton! As usual, you are the best man I ever had, I will leave the remaining 10 million dollars at your disposal, you can divide it among your men, you know the drill, right?" he said.

"Yes...Boss!" Aston answered.

The Mole picked up one bundle of paper bills and threw it at Aston.

"Treat your men to a nice meal tonight and good luck for tomorrow!" The Mole said.

"Thank you, Boss!" Aston said, gripping the money hard with his fingers.

"You and your men may go now," The Mole said.

Aston and his men exited the old movie house and entered their vehicle ready to leave the area.

"Where to, Boss?" asked the driver.

"Let's go to the hospital, I will visit my wife," Aston said.

"Okay Boss," the driver said and steered the vehicle towards the hospital.

Inside the vehicle, Aston was in deep thoughts.

He and his sister have been trying to find a low-cost nursing home for his wife that went comatose after the cesarean operation of their firstborn one year ago. His wife has been kept in the Intensive Care Unit of the Good Shepherd Hospital for about one year already, the cost is mounting high, and he already went broke because of the mounting hospital bills. But he can't give up on his wife, he still believes that she will wake up one day and they will be reunited together with their one-year-old.

Thirty minutes later.

They finally arrived in the hospital parking lot.

Aston took some paper bills from his wallet and give it to one of his men. "Buy foods and drinks, then gather the men in our hideout 'coz we are going to make an intensive plan for tomorrow's last mission," he said.

"Yes, Boss!" The man with a dragon tattoo on his arms took the money.

Aston wore his backpack on his back and exited the vehicle.

He entered the hospital's entrance and went straight to the ICU, from the outside he can see her wife clearly through the glass wall. He stared at his wife sleeping in the hospital bed in a comatose estate, his eyes welled up. "Please wake up now, wife! I need you! Our baby needs you!" he begged.

He stayed that way for fifteen minutes... eyes fixed on his wife's sleeping face while his heart was breaking inside.

Then he went to the hospital's toilet and stay in one of the cubicles. He began counting the bundle of money from his backpack, he counted a total of $100 thousand paper bills. He set aside the fifty thousand dollars to give to his men and the rest of the money is for the hospital bill and he will also give money to his sister for their daily needs. His younger sister is a single mother of a three years old girl, the moment his wife went comatose his sister become a full-time mom of the two children.

Aston exited the toilet and went to the cashier's section to pay for the hospital bill amounting to $20 thousand. The rest of the money will be given to his sister for safekeeping, life is unpredictable, tomorrow he might get caught by police authorities or get killed during the operation and he worries a lot on how will his sister survives with two children to take care. Suzanne was still in the hospital and who will pay her medical bills if he suddenly dies?

Tough life! he sighed.

Done paying the hospital bill, he exited the hospital and flagged a taxi cab going home.

He arrived at his rented house with the babies in the living room watching cartoons and his sister cooking dinner in the nearby dirty kitchen. He smiled with fondness upon seeing the two children. He kissed both baby Oliver and Emily's cheeks. "How are you... kiddos...what are you watching?"

"The Little Mermaid...Uncle..." answered the 3 years old Emily.

"That's nice, Emily, did you take care of baby Oliver today?" he asked.

"Yes...Oliver and I love watching cartoons all day long," Emily gave her uncle an angelic smile.

"Okay, enjoy your show, Emily," he said and messed up the toddler's hair.

Emma paused what she's doing in the kitchen and looked at her brother.

"Did you visit Suzanne in the hospital?" Emma asked while slicing cabbage to mix with her noodle soup.

"Yeah, I was there a few minutes ago. I also paid her hospital bill," he answered.

"How is she? Any progress?" Emma asked.

Aston shakes his head. "Nothing, no good progress so far," he responded sadly.

"I have searched the internet for a nearby nursing home that would accept comatose patients, I found one nearest to our place, only thirty minutes drive from here," Emma said. "I will give you the address later, their monthly fees are much lower compared to the amount you are paying in the hospital. We can transfer Suzanne there..."

"That's good, I will check that nursing home it if I have some free time this week. Thank you, sis, for the help," he replied.
