He walks towards the window, and Peeps outside, only to find his dad on his knees, there were lot of men on suit outside, and also a man too.

"Who is that man, and why is dad on his knees". Jesse muttered.

"What are you talking about sir Paulson, I didn't see anything". Jesse could hear his dad say, and he raised his eyebrows in Confussion.

"Huh". Edward muttered.

And before he could alter a word, Paulson pulls the trigger at Edward twice, and Edward falls to the blood, vomiting out blood from his mouth.

Hot tears falls down Jesse's eyes the moment he sees his dad struggling with Life.

The only one who struggles to put food on their tables and make him happy was on the floor.

The one person he loves so much in this world, is struggling to breath.

Jesse looks at his dad from the window, his mouth was already covered in blood.

"Dad!!!!!". He yells as more tears falls down his eyes.

Paulson jerks his hands off, he pulls the trigger on Edward twice again, and Edward dies instantly.

"What are you are still waiting for, go get his kid too, since he saw me mudering his dad, he has to die too."

Jesse heard what he said from inside, and before the men could enter the house, he took to his hill.
