Two days later, Row was healed. Salala and Grover was resting about.

"Hey. You two alright?." Row asked

"Ow......my teeth....it hurts." Grover felt the pain

"It's milk. It'll grow." Row answered back

"WHAT?!." Grover panicked, he did not know about it yet

"Sorry. Sorry. Forget it. That was inappropriate." Row realized and laughed, calming Grover

"IT IS NOT FUNNY!." Grover was serious

"Sorry my king." Row said

Salala cried; "Why would Gargamel do this......"

"Look. Bad things happened alright, it was a trap, we all never knew about it. But. You two were brave back there. And I am proud of you all." Row said

"You are?." They both jinxed

Row fist-bumped both of them. "Yeah man."

Then Gargamel approached to Row.

"Well look who decided to show up." Row pretended to be pissed

"I am sorry ok." Gargamel apologized

"Hmmmm.....State your business?. You want to get us killed again?." Asked Row

"Nothing, it is just. I had a chat. She was a good friend of my mother. We don't contact much. But uhm........now I kinda told her I am here...." Gargamel explained, Row wa skind of relieved Gargamel didn't need company again

"Are you surrendering yourself to the law?." Row asked sarcastically

"No!. No!. She....she said she needed help. She needed someone who can help him man?!. I ain't looking for trouble. Can you do it?. I am still injured." Gargamel offered a favor

"Injured or lazy?." Row joked around, he laughed, enjoyed himself, and patted Gargamel. "Alright. Alright. I'll see what I can do. Where is she?."

"She is in a......how do you say.......British styled, tall house." Gargamel said

"Ooooooooooook?. I guess I can picture that....Where then?." Row asked

"The house is in........" Gargamel looked on his message inbox and later said; "It's....in Cape May, in....16 Sunday rd."

"Cape May?. That's quite a distance. Will she give money?." Row wondered

"Probably not, I thought you don' care about money." Gargamel said

"I don't. That!s why I am asking if she were to give me one." Row said savagely

"Whatever. She's waiting for you. Good luck." Gargamel said

On the way, Igor called in Row

"Hey there rascal what's up?." Row greeted

"Stop calling me again you bullheaded idiot." Igor said calmly

"Right. I am doing a favor right now. What do you want?." Asked Row

"Well. We got the blueprints. We know where the drives are. I have been scouting around everyday. Security doesn:t seem tough. Chances is that the cops may come, but as long as we move fast, I think we can escape easily. Me and Xac are buying some toys for this gig soon. Others are well...others. I am just saying: I think, I think tomorrow we can hit it. You down?." Igor checked in

"Course I am down, the earlier the better, a thousand is already wasted on a hotel taking care of you fools, it is about time anyway." Row said

"Well ok then. Me and Xac will check if everything is checked. My suggestion is that we attack it at night." Igor suggests

"Evening could be better." Row suggested

"Uhh...Alright. Suit yourself. I'll tell the others, see about everything. See you later rat." Igor farewelled

"Much love man." Row closed the call

Arriving at the location-the house, which is an orphanage-Row pulled the 70s styled bell, as no signs of buttons or modernity is shown present in the outside of the architecture. A 12 year old kid opened the door, Row acted the part.

"Uhhh. What's up?." Row tried to make a mood

"Uhm. Hello there sir." Then he realizes how respectful that kid is, he thought he might have a chance to be a threat, and that Gargamel may be fooling him

"Right. Uhm........I am looking for uhh..." Row read the message Gargamel forwarded. "Annie Wisdom...is she here?."

"Oh. Miss Annie. Yes she is. May I....lead you to the house." The kid led

"Uhm...ok. Thanks kid." Row thanked his respectfulness he has never seen any kid so respectful in a very, very long time.

Inside the house,

"This is our house. The name is Craig by the way. Craig Goliath." Craig shook his hands, Row thought it was unnecessary, but he still respected it

Craig then showed Row to a room. He was about to knock the door, but Zara was making a poem in front of Annie about a mother, Craig held still and Told Row to hold still and stay silent, Row listened to as he pleases.


Dear Mother,

You are the angel that leads me around the grass.
You are my guide when I find myself lost in the woods.
You are the sweetest voice a child could ever hope for.
Your love is what builds this world.

Oh Mother,
May you be enlightened the perfect role model.
May your messages last forever to generation and generation of future mothers.
May you be the sun that lights up the galaxy.

Oh mother,
Thank you for giving me the inspiration and the dream.
Thank you for giving me more than Mount Everest can give.
Thank you for being in my perfect life, and my children.

Let there be grace.
Let there be spark.
Let there be peace.
Let there be love, last forever and ever.

To all mothers in this world, thank you for everything you have done to us


Annie cried out after hearing it. Zara with her insecure, shy feeling, can't express what to say about the poem she read, just for a school play. Craig's heart was warned for. And Row nearly cried, remembering his lovely mother.

Craig didn't want to interrupt the ambience Annie and Zara was having, but it seemed that Row has waited quite long, and was in tears, so he decided to knock.

"Come in." Annie let them in. Craig entered

Craig looked down and said; "Uhm........Zara..................that poem was real nice."

Zara blushed and said "You.......you........you think so."

"Yes Zara. It was beautiful. Your words would enlighten the world someday." Craig said, and Row never thought it was romantic, nor sweet, it was ver gracious of him to compliment that, with honesty

Zara then cried out, Row felt her. But there was a twist.

"It is ok to cry Zara." Annie said as he wiped her tears and rubbed her sweet hair

"No. No. No. It's just.................why did she abandon me?." Asked Zara in tears, reminding of the parents that sold her? Now Row felt pity for her even more, how she ended up in an orphanage was all a calamity. Annie couldn't say anything further, so she hugged. "I.................wish.......I had a mother." That struct everyone

Annie then said; "You already have.........I will be in charge if you now." Annie then rubbed her shoulder gently. "You...are safe now Zara."

Row never have seen familyhood that is so sweet and heavenly, he wished he had that, more permanently as well.

Then Rafaeldo SNUCK FROM THE BACK AND RUBBED CRAIG'S FLUFFY HAIR FROM THE BACK. They both played around, laughing, showing a sense of brotherhood Row felt.

"Oh Rafaeldo!. You are embarrassing me." Craig laughed

"Oh come on. Have some fun man!." Rafaeldo kept rubbing, Annie laughed.

"Thank you Craig, you didn't have to knock." Annie smiled

"Oh.....oh..no....I.........I think the man is here." Craig said

Row then pardoned and entered; 'Sorry.......for pardoning you. Gargamel sent me here.....he......"

"Oh. It's you. You came." Annie was glad

"Y. Yes Ms......Annie I assume. I came." Row said softly

Then Laramie and Jumbo came to the room too.

"Hey guys. The Lacrosse is about to begin in 10 minutes." Laramie said

"Ms.Annie...can we go?." Asked Jumbo

"Sure you all can. Zara, you want to go too?." Annie invited her to go outside

"Uhm.........." Zara is still shy

Craig then grabbed her hand. "It is ok. Come on. Let's go.". Zara and Craig blushed in the surrounding

"So sweet." Annie said

"Let's go. We can't miss it." Jumbo said

"Follow me. I know a shortcut." Laramie said

"YEAH. WOO!. It's sticking time." Rafaeldo said as they all ran away outside

"No running!." Annie yelled

The orphans left happily away from the orphanage.

"Uhm....sorry....they're all 12 so.........." Annie apologized

"No. No. No disrespect intended miss. They are so.....sweet." Row reacted

"Yeah. Thank you sir. So. You know Gargamel Zondar?." Asked Annie

"Yes he is my.......uhh......associate." Row said

"Oh really. What is his job?."asked Annie

"Well. He is my assistant....I am a...........lecturer." Row lied around, playing the social flow

"Oh really. You look young to be one no offense." Annie complimented the face

"Yeah uhh.........I graduated with honors." Row lied again

"I see. Well. I feel bad for his mom." Annie sympathized

"Who?. Gargamel?." Asked Row

"Yeah. He told me the exact time a man told him that his mother was dead months before the announcement. I can sense the pain he has. I wish I can take him in, do something for Ms.Aran....my middle school friend. But then....the kids conflict came along...and they are free like a horse." Annie explained

"I understand." Row understood

"Yeah. You know. As a lonely mother, who lost her husband weeks after marriage, it really pains me a lot. I started this orphanage because I was an orphanage back then. And when I lose my darling....I felt the same thing I had a long time ago. So I tried to....shift the tone of that feeling into something better, and that is how.....well.....the Wisdom orphanage is born. And....and.....now I have a baby.....and.....its magical." Annie said. Row felt her "It's really hard protecting them from the conflict. I keep telling them not to get out of Cape May. I. I. I feel gifted that the mayor here is aware of the conflict, so he kept the children safe, closing all toy shops, and no kid living in Cape May knows about the conflict at all. I have seen the news, it is horrible." Annie spoken

Row is envy and said; "Yeah....well......I guess you are very lucky, I can only say."

"Thankfully. I am glad that I raised them. Make them feel better. Four died a gift, the other one is abandoned. It just be magical to see them be together, doesn't it?." Said Annie

"I see the feeling. Because uhm......I was an orphan too." Row said

"Oh. Oh is that so?." Annie was surprised

"Yeah. I had..........7 siblings......including me." Row explained

"Oh. That is cute. I am sorry about your real parents though. Whoever they are, I hope they are all in heaven." Annie prayed

Row was feeling golden after she prayed; "I wish."

"Well. Send your nanny...or you manny, haha, uhm....my regards when you came back, if you do." Annie smiled

Row's heart was broken. "I.......I can't...........they are all dead.......even my nanny."

Annie was even more surprised. "O. O. Oh. I. I......"

"12/12/12, that happened. I watched three of them die......." Row let it all out

"Oh I am.......so sorry." Annie apologized

Row then thought about it and said."I.........wish I could die now."

"Oh don't say that." Annie said

"Well....what purpose do I have left. I. I do things for nothing. I say words that have no meaning. My direction is full of flaws." Row blamed himself

Annie smiled and said; "Well....sir.....maybe your path is not found yet............a lost is an obstacle to a straight road...you just need to keep smashing it hard, until you break and go straight to the path you want to go to."

"Thank you miss. I really do. When I heard that little girl's poem.....it reminded me of my foster sibling Jack....especially that he wants to act so British as if it is his dream job." Row said, Annie quietly laughed. "He used to read poems everyday, even to Little Wendy....and It is beautiful hearing him so, even when any of us can't admit it, even to his horrible voice. I really missed them. I thought they'd be with me forever after all is lost before. It is just......I have lost a family twice.........and I....became something I did not want. I. I am a criminal. A trouble maker...........heh..........even a killer........and the young ones fear me." Row nearly cried, there is water and a lot of sparkle in his eyes

Annie then said; "Whenever I want to use my reverse psychology. I say to my children before, if that is the path you choose, then it is a path you chose. Go ahead and let your grief strike you. But. Keep doing the good things, even if you can't spite its meaning. It doesn't matter if you die by the fall, escaping..........Or your throat gets soared and soared, but as long as you keep doing the good things, hell won't banish you again. Keep doing the good things sir, because you coming here, is one of the most gracious thing...a man like you can do."

Row then breathed in and said; "Yes.....thank you I...........I didn't come here for an advise, but I got one. So.......what seems to be the problem miss?. What kind of help do you need?."

"Right. Look. It is uhm..........an indirect fiscal thing." Annie tried to introduce the problem

"Oh....you need money....I can....." Row touched his pocket

"No. No. I have money. Enough money. I am doing pretty well for myself. No. It is just. I am already signed to a bank....." Annie explained

"Forgive me miss I am not an accountant." Row said

"Well. That is why I said indirect.........Some........some loan sharks can't leave me alone.....he can't leave this whole town alone..................he even tricked me with the money I have.....$500............and now he wants more from me. I. I. I can't ask anyone else, I don't have the guts to speak about that horrible man, even to the mayor or the cops, no one does. So sir, since he....doesn't know you.....can you go out there and teach him a lesson.....but DON'T kill him." Annie asked for his help

Row then agreed directly and shook her hands; "Alright miss. Where could this...horrible man be?."
.
"I don't know, but my neighbor who was a wooden balcony, you go left, and on the right, you'll see on the right side in the.....fifth building if that is correct. He is the one who frequently pays him the high interest. He might probably know where he is. Oh, and his name is Sully Harnell.Thanks sir............." Annie explained, he thanked Row

"Uhm....you can call me...Larry Johnson." Row played around with fake names again

"Oh. Ok. Well Larry Johnson. Good luck." Annie said

"Alright miss. I'll see what I can do." Row left the house

Row then drove short to the house that Annie described. He knocked the door, a man answeredd for him.

"Yes......can I help you?." The man asked

"Uhm. I hope so.....I'm here for Sully...." Row me tioned

"Oh please. Can't you tell him to leave me alone. I have a wedding to prepare to. Didn't I just pay him three days ago." The man is annoyed by Sully's schemes

"No it is not that sir uhh...I want to talk to him.....so I was wondering if you know where he lives." Row said

"Oh please sir. You do not want to borrow money from him. He is a crook." The man warned

"Well. I just want to talk to him. And your friend Annie told me you are the frequent one. Can you help me and tell me where he is?." Asked Row as he tried to hold his patience against his unnecessary warnings

"Well....alright then....your call. He lives in Wildwood Crest, three houses the right of Passive park. Trust me, he has no respect for hygiene." The man said

"Alright, appreciate it." Row thanked

Row then drove to Wildwood island, on the way, there was an email notification again.


Dear Rowenthal,

‏I know what happened weeks ago was very unaccounted for. I am very sorry that I talked to you the way you didn't want me too. You are right, I have changed and you have changed too. But, I know what we both wanted deep inside: peace, and also our old and young us.

Maybe we both can't express the problems we are facing now, especially that now that we have grown up, and our time of monkey love is over. So, Let me make it up to you. And I hope by doing that, we could settle, just as friends. Our awkwardness and distance from each other has to stop Row, it is plaguing our hearts. If you are willing to take that chance, I want you to meet me Subway in Ferry Street, Newark; I just visited Manhattan again.

Then again, it is your call, I will be waiting the latest till 12 at night. Don't force yourself if you don't want to.

Yours,
Kaylee Gigan


Row then reacted; "Oh Kaylee..............drama exists wherever you go........she wants to see me again huh?!. Alrighty then."

Row then arrived to his house on Wildwood Crest. He pressed the door bell. Then a young man opened the door.

"Yes?." The man greeted

"Uhm. Sorry are you a friend of Sully Harnell?." Asked Row

"No I am his brother." The man said. He then laughed. "Eh. Eh, sorry. Just playing man. Just playing man. Anyway. Yeah. Your head guess right man, he is my friend, you lookin for him?."

"Yes. Can I see him?." Row answered

"No you can't." The man said

"Uhm. Why?." Row wondered

"He's not here, haha. Sorry sir. I have a comedy play to be to." The man said, Row really wants to punch him

"Ok. Ok." Row calmed down

"Uhm. Look. He ain't here in the house with us. Everyone needs to contribute to the rent man. If I am not mistaken, he is walking around....or finding more debts to make the boardwalk, east of Wildwood, in the beach." He said

Row then left quick, he was very annoyed by his comedy act. He then arrived to the boardwalk of Wildwood Crest. Sully was surrounded by a lot of angry customers and client.

"I DON'T CARE IF YOUR WIFE IS PREGNANT!. I DON'T CARE IF YOU LIVE ON MARS!. A 5% INTEREST IT TOO HIGH MAN!." Angered Customer #1

"Guys. Guys. Please. Calm down. We can talk." Sully tried calming them down unseriously

"NO!. NO!. WE CAN'T. GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK!." Demanded Customer #2

"YEAH!. YOU DEBT ME 21K, NOW YOU WANT ME TO PAY HALF MORE THAN I OWED, SCREW YOU!." Argued Customer #3

"Hehe...." he laughed carelessly

"Look at that laugh, GET HIM..." Customer #4 yelled

Sully then held a caliber pistol; "FREEZE!. I SAID FREEZE!." Everyone stood back. "This is self defense, STAND BACK!."

"Excuse me." Row called in. "You Sully?."

'Yes who are you, hey, STAND BACK! WHOEVER YOU ARE!!." Threateend Sully as Row walke close

"You stole $500 from Annie Wisdom." Row said

"That's a lie." Sully said

"Oh did he mister!. Oh now you see it guys. He is a crook!." Said customer #5, making everyone laugh

"SHUT UP!." Sully walked hard while aiming the gun. "AND YOU!." He aimed the gun at Row's head, Row stood still. "YOU BETTER STOP LYING TO ME!. YOU ARE EMBARRASSING YOURSELF HAH!."

"Clearly." Row then easily stole his gun out of Sully's hands. "You are supposed to pull the slide first." Row pulled the slide, and gave it to Sully, "Then you shoot me."

Sully grabbed the gun; "AH AH, AH AH, NO, NO, NO." Row swift the pass, and THREW THE GUN TO THE NEAREST ROOF. "Bad kitty."

"Oh crap." Sully cursed himself

"GET HIM!." Said customer #5

Sully ran backwards and ran away, as 12 customers and Row chased him down. Sully then turned to the left. A customer sped up, he tried tackling Sully, but he missed. Then another customer sped up, and missed the tackle too. Then triplet customers decided to walk around. Sully turned right, THE THREE TRIPLETS BLOCKED HIM. He then turned around, everyone blocked him. Customer #1 tried catching him, but Sully dodged, customer #1 missed and hit one triplet. Customer #2 and customer #3 grabbed Sully's arms, Sully kicked customer #2 in the testicles and threw him to another triplet. Then customer #4 tried tackling, but ended up tackling the last triplet. "HAHA!. MISS ME. NOW YOU GOTTA KISS ME!." Sully stuck his tongue out.

Three customers remaining tried chasing Sully again.

"Oh this is gonna kill me." Customer #5 is nearly tired out.

Sully the entered an apartment building, he climbed up the stair case, the hundreds of stair cases. Customer #5 and the other was tired near halfway, Sully was tired too, Row was tired but still has the stamina. Sully reached the roof. He thought he lost everyone, and wanted to climb down the emergency ladder to escape them after he tires out, until Row came about. "It's over Sully give it up."

"Ohohohoh no!." Sully moaned

"Just give me.....the $500 and we will get over this." Row demanded as he was tired as Silly is

"NEVER!. I WORKED MY TONGUE FOR THAT!." Sully yelled hreedily

"Then its a tiger for you then you prick!." Customer #5 arrived too

"Great!." Sully then ran sideways to the other ladder, customer #5 raged out, tackled him, AND THEY BOTH FELL OFF THE APARTMENT BUILDING, and got them both killed by height.

"Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh my god!." Customer #4 was shocked to see a dead body as the rest of the customers arrived.

The other customer arrived to the roof. "Where is Sully?.". Row pointed down. "Holy cow!. My god!!. What happened to them?."

"Rage got them both killed. It was unfortunate." Row said, also being surprised as he was the one who saw them both fallong for greed

"Well screw that. GET THE MONEY EVERYONE!." Said Customer #3, making everyone and himself heartlessly taking everything from his pockets.

Then every customer took all the money away from him in his pocket, and shamefully customer #5 too, "HEY!. HEY!. HEY!!. WOAH!!!!!." The other customer reacted

A minute later, all of the greedy people left the carcass to rot.

"Oh no. Oh. Oh my god!." The other customer felt horrible

"Ah darn it!." Row moaned

They both came down the apartment and checked both their bodies. After Row checked.

"Are. Are they...." the other customer worried

"I don't think so." Row said, as they both are not breathing

"Oh no..........And. And. And the money?." The other customer asked

"Gone. All of them." Row said

"Oh man!. He took 2 stacks away from me man!. Can't believe it!!. It is costing me my mortgage now." The other chstomer moaned

Row unnecessarily sympathized, he took out his wallet, and took 20 $100s. "Here."

"Oh sir no......" the other customer felt pity

"No. No. You listen to me, not say no. You need it more than me. Is house is more than just a land, it is a treasure....that spreads conformity." Row said, offering the money

The other customer breathed in, and nicely took the money. "I. I. I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to." Row replied back

"You are a.....kind man mister." The other customer replied

"Thanm you." Row thanked

"I wish the people here were as nice as the southwest." The other customer hoped

"South. West. North. East. They are all the same to me. They're America, it makes no difference whatsoever....other than what they view in life I guess." Row spoke

"You are very intelligent mister." The other customer complimented

"I guess." Row said

"Well uhm.....we......we shall split up I guess." The other customer suggests before they can be traced

"Fancy idea." Row said. They both shook hands, and left their carcasses before anyone else can see it.

Returning to the Wisdom Orphanage: Row looked down in the Baleno, breathed in, and took out 5 $100s.

Row got out of the Baleno, seeing Laramie and Jumbo watering the plants.

"Oh hey mister." Junbo greeted

"Hey kids. Is your nanny still in the house?." Row asked

"Yes. He's healing Rafaeldo's leg." Laramie said

"Ok." Row said

Row entered in. While Craig was sweeping the house, a regular chore, He saw Rafaeldo having stitches in the game. Annie rubs his leg gently, that Rafaeldo rarely can sense any pain while doing so.

'It is ok Rafaeldo. You did good. You did good." Annie rubbed his foot gently

"Thanks. Ah. Well. If we had....." Rafaeldo wanted to take a blame

"Win or lose don't matter alright. Your team did good. Your brothers are proud, Zara is proud, I am proud. You should be proud too.....my first love." Annie advised

Rafaeldo then smiled. "Ok ms. Ms.Annie. Can you sing me a song?."

"Sure. Which one?." Ms.Annie is pleased to sing

"My favorites of course." Rafaeldo blushed

"Ok." Annie said.

Row then sat on the sofa, watching Annie. Craig also stopped the sweeping so that he could hear her sweet voice, as Annie Wisdom sang More Than That by the Backstreet Boys.

Annie stared back, and found Row sitting. "Oh. Oh its you. You're back. How long have you been sitting there."

"Quite much." Row answered

"Ok." Annie then approached Row. "My god Larry. Is it just me....or are you very sweating....your pants are wet."

"Well. Ms.Annie. Here is the $500." Row gave the $100s

"Oh. Ok." Ms.Annie then realized and asked. "Larry. I. I. I gave Sully 10 $50s. Why. Why is he giving me this?."

"Well. He is a fool." Row said

"But. But, but he tied the money as well, with my name written on it. What happened?." Annie asked as he remembered all the details, she nearly feared Row could lie

Row breathed in as he couldn't find any excuse; "He.........he was chased by a man who owed him money....he was a cheat....I followed them to the alleyway and............Sully was killed by him.....poor bastard."

"Oh. Oh my god. You didn't...." Annie worried

"I did not!. I swear. I am sorry, a.....a lot of Sully's money was taken. There were only $100s in the wallet, so I took it, not steal it. I am sorry miss, he chose that fate. If.......If a bad man is stabbed in the chest, in front of his equal, then he did not experience a good death; if only it was the other way around, with a meaning, then, his loss is meaningful." Row spoken to detail the lie. "Oh. Oh uhm. Sorry, it is just a poetry I made....Sociology and stuff." Everyone in the house had to hear that, even Zara who was lying down on her bed

"Ok. Ok. I understand. I am sorry you have to see that Larry. Sorry that I got you into trouble." Ms Annie apologized

"I have experienced worse." Row forgave just as easily

"Right. Least you are honest. No blood stains in you. Well. Thank you Larry Johnson." Annie thanked

"Sure. May I go now?." Row asked, as he really want to see Kaylee again

"Sure you may." Annie lets him

"Thank you." Row then head outside the door.

Before he could get out of the door,

"Thank you Larry Johnson. You have been great help man." Craig said before he left.

"Th. Thank you Craig Goliath." Row opened the door. Before he left, he gave one last word to him; "Well.......... uhh....Craig. Don't give up on your dreams. Always be kind to others. You live a helpful life ok boy?."

Craig then nodded yes and said; "Ok. Ok. Iiiiiiii guess I'll keep that in my diary." He made everyone giggle

"Alright then, you do that. Keep writing ok?. Alright, see you everyone." Row head out. "Take care now," Row closes the door.

Next stop, Newark. On the way, he had a clash of quotes again.

"I miss you father, more than anything else in the world!." Jack cried after utilizing a deep British accent for his poem, only then to hug Nanny Jones is he cried and weeped hard in tears, missing his family

"Maybe if you can't find your purpose, or if you are lost, or if we can't help at all. Then go out there, to the world, see what's up there?, see what you can learn on the way." Nanny Jones advised to Row

"When you come back next year, please tell me what college and Boder looks like." Little Wendy said with her capabilities in articulation, hugging Row, missing him on his college journey, three weeks before their deaths

"That is unfair!. How come Nanny always confiscates my phone!, but never confiscates Timothy's after all the trouble he has done. UGH THIS IS NOT GOOD!. She is just like Principal Marriott!."
