So you've come back to hear more? Well then you must be interested then. I won't keep you waiting.

Sam wandered down the hall to tell the dean about the boy he was so fascinated with; somewhere in the back of Sam's mind he knew he was missing something, but what? Just before Sam knocked on the dean's door he hear the professor's voice and his body moved on its own or rather didn't. He couldn't make him self move. He stood outside the door listening to what the professor was saying.

"Doctor, do you remember which student you sent down to give me the file I asked for?" the professor's tired voice rang out obviously something was bothering him.

Noting the professor's tone, Ziggurat replied, "Samuel Pentdragon. Did he not
fulfill his job?"

"It's not that, though it seems he may have been in the file. He- er- I'll show you" the professor reached in his pocked and pulled out what looked like a black and white version of the photo in the file. "It seems he may have the original photo"

Sam reached in his pocket and took out the copy of the photo or what he though was the copy 'shit, this is the original!' The professor obviously didn't like the idea of someone unwelcomed going through that particular file, Sam's body refused to move no matter how much he tried.

The doctor sighed, "Samuel has become unreliable. I assure you, Professor, he
won't bother you again. Shall I call him in?"

" It isn't that he bothered- call him in? Sir, is he still on campus? It's after hours." The professor looked at the dean with a puzzled look "why would he still be on campus?"

Sam knew if he didn't go in now he would have just been called in anyway. Sam slowly knocked on the door to the dean's office, "D-dean?"

"Ah, here he is now," Ziggurat said, slightly amused. "See, Professor? Come
in, Samuel."

'Well, no turning back now' Sam opened the door and stepped in feeling as though he just threw him self to the lions. "Dean I confirmed about the boy, he'll also be attending the event, he's helping to organize it." Sam reported looking the dean square in the eye. The professor looked at the Dean, "Yes I do see, hmm, seems as though you have eyes everywhere Doctor" the professor replied deciding to let the dean handle the whole picture punishment thing, he just wanted the photo back.

"Wonderful, Samuel," At least the boy could do one thing correctly. "Now,"
Ziggurat began, "I believe you have something that belongs to the professor?"
He gestured towards the Professor. "Return it now, and I'll reconsider your punishment."

"Yes sir." Sam reached into his pocket and pulled out the photo, he learned along time ago being obedient is the best thing to be at this school. Yet, he never was able to find out who the kid in the photo was. Sam extended his hand to the professor he stopped half way when he saw something sprawled on the on the back on the photo. It read… he couldn't see, it was upside down, his hand returned to him before the professor could take the photo he turned the photo around and looked at what it said it read' "In loving memory of my son…" Sam read aloud, before Sam could read the rest the professor took the photo out of Sam's hand "I would thank you kindly to not read my photo or the file it was in, what on earth possessed you to even make a copy of the photo?" Takashi asked suddenly angry. Sam couldn't find his voice to reply, he waited to hear what the dean had to say about it.

"Samuel, don't you know it's rude to take other people's belongings?" Ziggurat's voice was oddly calm.

Ok that's it, how the hell is he so calm, normally dean would be angry. What's he so happy about? "Yes sir. I am very sorry. I let my mind run away with me and assumed the worst. Uh, Dean, what's put you in such a good mood, if you don't mind me asking" Sam tried to change the topic. Sam glanced a the Professor for a clue and the professor shrugged putting the picture in his pocket.

Ignoring Sam, the doctor waved him out of his office, "That'll be enough,
Samuel. Professor Mono and I have much to discuss." For Ziggurat had an idea,
a little seedling of an idea. If planned and executed well, it could benefit
him. It will be brilliant, Ziggurat thought. Yes, brilliant.

Sam exited the room glade that he was let off the hook. He made his way home trying to figure out why the professor was so upset about the picture.

The professor looked at the doctor confused, "Doctor? What is it? You seem very happy about the information Samuel brought you. What about this 'boy' interested you?" Takashi crossed his arms and held his chin between his right thumb and pointer finger; it's been a long time since Takashi has seen the doctor in this good of a mood.

"Mono, you do know who 'this boy' is, correct?" Ziggurat stared straight at the
professor, the glare on his glasses no longer hiding his eyes.

" I'm afraid I don't have enough information to even make an educated guess doctor" Takashi right looked back at the doctor, sincerely confused, Takashi was one of the few people in the school that could look the doctor back in the eye with no sign of fear.

"Mono," Ziggurat snapped harshly, "you know who this boy is. I have no time
for educated guesses." The man was annoyed at Takashie's ignorance.

Takashie was angry, how was he suppose to know which boy the doctor was talking about, there were about 120 boys at this school how was he suppose to know without anything to help, "Doctor' Takashie snapped back ' how on earth am I suppose to know which boy your talking about? There are more than a hundred in this school! A name? Hair color? Anything would narrow it down for me besides 'boy'."

Honestly, the ignorance of some people, the doctor thought. It was so
blatantly obvious. "You know exactly who I'm talking about. The boy ,who
happens," Ziggurat stood up and looked Takashie square in the eye, "To be your
son!"

Takashie stared back at the doctor, shock written all over his face. "L-Leo?' Takashie let it sink in and then he looked up at the doctor 'He's alive? Where is he?" the shock now replaced determination, Takashie wanted to see his son as soon as he could.

"Patience, Takashie," the doctor lowered himself into his chair, a smirk
spreading across his face, "For I have a plan."

Well that is it for to day, have a safe trip home and remember, there are new things around every corner no matter how many times you pass
