"Something wrong?" Aurelia tightened her heart a notch. Leopold had been acting off all day. Could he
be onto William?
Leopold shimmered his deep eyes ominously under the lamplight, giving him an inscrutable look.
"Have you been keeping something from me?" asked Leopold.
"Nope," Aurelia shook her head, feigning ignorance.
"Really?" Leopold raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced.
"Yes," she nodded assertively. "I'm beat. I'm gonna hit the hay. Make sure the kids don't stay up too
late, okay?"
Leopold parted his lips as if to say something more but then closed them, sitting in silence for a
moment before standing up and walking out.

Kane and William had secretly swapped places.
"Come here, Chirpy." William beckoned, and Chirpy fluttered onto his shoulder, nuzzling his cheek with
its fluffy head, "William is back, William is back."
William broke into a sweat, knowing Chirpy meant he and Kane had switched back, but this was top-
secret information.
He made a silly face on purpose. "I just took a quick trip to the loo, that's all."
Skyler sneaked a peek at them, puzzled. Chirpy had never been so chummy with William before. What
had changed?
"Ha-ha, ha-ha," Chirpy let out a bizarre chuckle as if to say this game was a blast.
After some play, the kids retreated to their rooms, gearing up for bedtime. Skyler headed to William's
room and eyed him up and down.
"Got any little secrets with Kane?" he prodded.
"No way," William stammered, shaking his head. "What's up with you, Skyler? You've been acting all
weird today?"
"It's not me who's weird, it's you and Kane," Skyler retorted, then reached out suddenly. "You're not
wearing a mask, are you?" The question sent William reeling back in shock.
"Skyler, what are you on about? My face is all soft and cute. How could it be a mask?" he replied.
Skyler chuckled, "I didn't say you're wearing a mask now. I'm guessing you and Kane each made one
to impersonate the other like when Geoffrey pretended to be me."
William internally groaned. Skyler was close to the truth, except the mask-wearing was one-sided.
"Come on, let's not spill the beans. Playing the fool is part of your life philosophy, right?"
Skyler pulled a face. "But I wanna get in on the role-play. You guys have such fun without me. Why not
invite me along?"
"So who do you wanna be?" William asked.
Skyler pondered, "I'd like to be Geoffrey, but I have no clue what he looks like."
Skyler shrugged, "Most joined up as hitmen, mercenaries, or fugitives. Bad apples beyond reform."
Dealing with the bad guys meant wiping them out.
With too many humans on the planet, erasing the bad ones saved food and resources.
William darted around his eyes, swiftly changing the subject.
"So, Skyler, what's on the agenda for tomorrow?" New chąpter avąilable oո Draмаnоvеls.cоm
William laughed, "Cool, I'll brainstorm too."
After Skyler left, William tiptoed to Kane's room to spill the beans on their near-exposure.
