Lando and his mom were walking to the doctor's office, ever since Auntie Joyce has been staying with them after her ankle injury Lando has stayed at the house with her. But today Ophelia said it was lonely sometimes when he wasn't there so how could Lando not go after hearing that?

It was a typical day at the office. Lando started to pick up drawing and drew for almost the entire day. He drew a picture of him and his mom that was satisfactory to him before his mom said "It's time to go." Lando nodded before showing his picture to his mom " I made this for us!" He said with a big smile. Ophelia had a huge smile that grew on her face, she hugged Lando "It's amazing!" Ophelia said.

The two of them walked out; they didn't notice a little boy across the street watching for them to leave. As soon as they did he ran off into an alley, in the alley there were 5 men all with bandanas on.

"The doctor left the office just now" the boy said, trying to catch his breath.

"You did good kid." one of them said before reaching into his coat and giving the boy a couple of dollars. The boy nodded before running off.

"This doctor better have valuables in her house." One of the men said

"Of course she does, doctors are always loaded." One of them responded

The 5 of them all started walking over to Ophelia's house cutting through alleys so they get there first.

In Another Part Of The Underground

Kenny just entered the Underground he looked around from the top step "Just like all those years ago" he thought. He started walking to a familiar looking building. It was pretty late at night about 8:27 he opened the door of the building to see a bald guy standing there, the same one he saw all those years ago.

"I'm looking for a pretty doctor and her son he might be around 8 or 9." Kenny said

"A pretty looking doctor and her son huh…." he said before flipping through his book "Oh Ophelia and her son Lando. Nicest bunch of people around here." The man said. "Here is their address."

Kenny took it as he was walking out the man said " I feel like I have seen you before who are you?"

Kenny turned around and smiled before saying "Nobody." Then he walked towards Ophelia and Lando's house.

At their house, the 5 men arrived before the two of them and started picking the lock. Joyce who was staying at the house since her ankle was injured thought she heard something but didn't pay much mind to it so she continued reading the book she was reading. Outside the men finally picked the lock and opened the door.

"Ophelia, Lando? You guys came home late!" Joyce called out.

The 5 men looked at each other before nodding to each other and they all walked into the house at the same time. Joyce was looking forward to seeing Lando. It was boring around here without him around, so imagine her surprise when she saw 5 men wearing all black walk in. Joyce immediately knew she was in danger, she got up and started hobbling as quickly as she could towards the bedrooms. She thought if she could get there and barricade the door she could be safe, but she fell as 2 of the men walked toward her she braced for what was about to happen. One of the men thrust his knife towards her but she grabbed his arm to stop it from stabbing her, but as she did that the other came over and stabbed her in the stomach. Joyce cried out in pain, the man who stabbed her kept stabbing her over and over and over again while she fell to the floor. She was bleeding out thinking about her life up till now and all her past mistakes, Joyce took her final breath that night.

Ophelia and Lando arrived at the house not long after. They opened the door and Lando called out "Auntie Joyce we are home." Lando took off his shoes, put them by the door then walked out into the living room. "Auntie Jo…." was all Lando said before he saw the scene. He saw his aunt with pools of blood all over the floor, Lando could only gasp and started gasping for air with every breath he was shaking all over his body, every one of his senses was on alert.

Ophelia heard her son gasping for breath and panicked she ran into the living room to see the scene. All of a sudden 5 men came out of nowhere and blocked them from leaving wearing all black, Ophelia's motherly instincts kicked into gear before grabbing her son's arm to move toward a corner of the room they were backing them into. When she grabbed Lando's arm she felt him shaking violently while still gasping for air every breath, Ophelia just forced him to be behind her.

"It seems your son is having quite a violent panic attack there." One of the men said.

"What do you want" was all Ophelia barked out.

"All your valuables." One of the men said.

Ophelia threw her wallet at the men as 4 of them started to ransack their house while one of them watched over them.

"Hey, it's going to be ok" Ophelia spoke softly to Lando. Lando didn't even react, he was still having a panic attack, she hugged him and started caressing his hair telling him it was going to be ok.

The 5 men who were ransacking the place were about to head out before what seemed like their leader looked at Lando up and down before saying "I said all of your valuables."

Ophelia was confused, they just took everything and killed Joyce, realization kicked in that her best friend was dead in a pool of her own blood. It took everything she had to not start crying right there but Lando was still panicking she couldn't afford to break down right now.

" The boy is valuable, people would pay a high price for such a young one." The leader spoke.

"NO!" Ophelias screamed. " You can take me instead, don't touch him."

" Now that I think about it we will just take both of you." The man said

One of them walked over to the mother and son, Ophelia knew she was going to have to fight these people, but how she had no idea how to fight she had to try though.

The man that was walking over pulled out a knife before saying "You're going to come with us now!"

When he was close enough Ophelia tried to throw a punch but the man dressed in black made an instinctive decision to stab her so he plunged the knife into her throat.

Lando watched the whole thing go down and dropped his drawing of him and his mom as Ophelia fell to the ground, blood spewing out of her, the drawing's white background turned into a red one as blood spilled all over.

Lando ran over to his mom putting his hands on her stab wounds putting pressure on it while his hands got soaked with his mother's blood. He heard the leader saying something to the one who stabbed him but it sounded disoriented to Lando and he couldn't make out what he was saying.

"I don't have a good grasp of what it means to love someone… So instead I told you pretty lies I didn't know if I was able to love you " Ophelia got up sitting against the wall for support before bringing Lando into a hug "Are you alright…? You're not hurt are you Lando…? I guess I won't be able to open the doctor's office tomorrow… I feel sorry for everyone… your drawing this morning of us was really nice… you'll be a good boy right….? I wonder… what kind of adult you'll grow up to be…as you grew up…. I want to be there to see it… Ah, i've got to tell you this…Lando I love you…I'm sorry it took me so long to say it without lying…but those words definitely weren't a lie…" Ophelia put her blood soaked hand onto her son's cheek. Lando watched as he saw his mom's eyes fade into nothing.

Lando's face looked horrified at what just happened and he looked down at his hands seeing his mother's blood on them before turning his head to Auntie Joyce's dead body. All of a sudden Lando felt a surge of power in him as he turned his head to the 5 of them who were staring at him waiting to see what he did next.

Lando reached into his pants pocket pulling out his father's dagger; he then rushed at the man in front of him in blind rage. The man couldn't react in time as Lando stuck the dagger into his knee the man cried out in pain as he fell Lando plunged the dagger right above his eye killing him instantly.

"Looks like we got a fighter." The leader said "You three go get him."

Three men walked to him and they pulled out their weapons, one of them rushed at Lando but Lando saw an opening and swung his knife down Lando swung his knife up cutting off all of the man's fingers on his hand and dropping his weapon as well The man fell to the ground and was screaming. One of the men got behind him and started to rush Lando. Lando heard the man's steps and dove out of the way he watched the man's momentum carry him into his comrade's chest stabbing his fellow man.

Lando heard the leader laugh and say " You guys suck he is just a boy kill him too he isn't worth the trouble."

But the man who stabbed the other man who was on the floor didn't move. Lando guessed they were friends or something but the man stood there shell shocked. Lando, seeing this rushed at him grabbed his head to keep him still and slit his throat.

" Enough is enough" the last remainder of them said as he rushed Lando, Lando seeing this rushed at him they were closing in on each other but as soon as the man was about to swing his weapon Lando slid between his legs and popped up from behind him, before he could react Lando sliced the back of his knee causing him to fall. Lando stuck his knife into the back of his neck and cut up to his scalp.

"You have some fight in you, I like that." The leader said as he got into a fighting stance, Lando picked up a knife that one of the dead men dropped. The leader rushed him hurling insults at him but Lando was so blind with rage he didn't make out the words. Lando tried to dodge his attacks and succeeded in not getting stabbed straight on but he got cuts all over. Lando backed up away from the leader as both of them caught their breath, when they did the leader rushed him again but Lando did the same, as they closed the distance Lando had a trick up his sleeve. Lando threw one of the knives he has had since they started fighting, it didn't hit the leader he dodged it in time but it made him unbalanced as he turned his body to not get hit. Lando ran at him as fast as he could to stab him, the leader tried to stab Lando but he realized he was off balance and the hand that held his weapon was turned with his body while Lando had a clear shot to stab him. The leader tried to turn his body and stab him he threw his arm around was moving as fast as he could to stab Lando but he wasn't fast enough as Lando stabbed him in the chest he looked at the little boy who stabbed him to see only the white of his eyes and no expression on his face, Lando stabbed him over and over and over again in his chest until he was satisfied.

Outside of the house, Kenny arrived and knocked on the door but nobody answered. He turned the door knob to find out it wasn't locked. " Lucky me" he thought as he walked in he saw some red liquid coming from the other room. Kenny walked through the doorway and saw 2 dead bodies that looked like women he then noticed a little boy covered in blood from head to toe cuts all over him leaking his own blood. Kenny took on a surprised face but one that quickly twisted into a smile then he laughed out loud.

"You really are an Ackerman.." Kenny said " They weren't lying, you are Levi's kid."

Lando looked over at a new man with a black cowboy hat and a trench coat. Lando thought it was one of them and ran to him dagger drawn. Before he could stab him Kenny drew his own knife he had hidden in his coat and went blade to blade with the young boy.

"You're sloppy and have no idea what you're doing, you are lucky that these people had no skill or you would've died." Kenny said " I'm not one of them."

"Prove it" Lando replied

Kenny thought for a moment before saying 'Levi."

Lando looked surprised and didn't say anything; he just looked at the man.

"I'm Levi's mom's brother making me Levi's uncle." Kenny told the young boy

Lando, still staring at the man, looked at the floor before uttering "Family…"

"Yeah… yeah we are family kid." Kenny said

Lando looked up before running at the man wrapping his arms around his legs and started bawling. Kenny just stared at him before a smile appeared on his face. " I wasn't cut out to be a father but a grandpa might just work."

"Ok kid, we gotta get out of here." Kenny said " I'll come back for what I guess is your mom."

"And Auntie Joyce?" Lando said whispering

"Yes and her" Kenny replied

Lando turned around and walked towards his mom staring at the ground not wanting to see her dead body, he saw what he was looking for and grabbed the drawing he made of him and his mom soaked in her blood before turning around and heading towards Kenny.

"You all set?" Kenny asked

"Yes, what is your name?" Lando asked

"Kenny, but you can just call me Grandpa."

"Ok.. Grandpa" Lando muttered before they both walked out of the house.
