Fair.

Mrs Irfan walked up the steps of her home and across the landing she saw her son’s door slightly ajar. Normally he didn’t close it at all unless he was dressing up. Slightly ajar was new for him, but Mrs Irfan wasn’t worried until as she walked past she saw a green light coming from inside the room.

Concerned she pushed the door open slightly to check up on her child and saw him sat on his bed, engrossed in a book she recognised immediately.

She knew right away what it meant that he could understand what was written and was somewhat saddened, but at least there was no chance he would do something like become the key until he was at least an old man. Mrs Irfan tried to comfort herself with this as she walked away from the room but was interrupted by a call from her Husband downstairs.

“Honey, we… have a visitor.”

–

“Yami?”

“Sorry to drop in on you like this Mrs Irfan, but I need your help with some of the research I’m doing at the Zee Industries tower in the capital, I had requested Mr Irfan too but Polot said his work was too important here.”

“I don’t suppose I have much choice do I?” Mrs Irfan was not happy about this, since Yami had revealed their original research paper Polot had been a much harsher employer. “Let me get my things.”

“Really, I am sorry.” Yami bowed in apology but didn’t appear to be entirely sincere.

“Just let me say goodbye to my husband.”

Mrs Irfan went into the back of the house where her husband was in the kitchen and Yami waited outside the door for her return.

“Are you leaving?”

“Yes…”

“Well no worries, I’m sure you’ll be back in no time.”

“…listen… it’s Clark, I saw him reading it.”

“it?”

“THE book, you know the one.”

Mr Irfan just smiled and hugged his wife.

“Don’t worry about it, we’ll all talk it out when you get back, and Clark is a smart kid, he’ll be ok.”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course.” Mr Irfan smiled, “Now get going, we don’t want to keep Polot’s research waiting do we?” Mr Irfan rolled his eyes.

“Ok, I’ll be back as soon as I can.” The couple hugged and Mrs Irfan left with Yami.
