I was shocked for a second then become a little scared cause of the incident before at the lake side, I have never seen or known this that, in that lake crocodile(s){?} lives. No one actually knew this,I need to inform others after I reach home and also tell about this to Doctor first but where is he, he never leaves his door open like this..

'Um isn't he here..?', finally Ali asked. I replied saying,'I don't know, he was supposed to be here, he never really goes out that much at this time.. like this..this, this doesn't look normal.. '

'Yeah, this looks a little strange.. who lets their door open like this who lives in one of the deepest part of wood..',stated Andy. We were saying if you should go inside or not suddenly we hear footsteps upon dry foilage of leaves. 'Quick! We need to hide', saying this Andy and Ali went behind a bush and in a rush not knowing should I hide or not but seeing the majority doing it I also went behind a nearby tree. The footstep came closer and closer as I keep wondering who it could be and why we are hiding like this..?

Soon I saw the person who was coming this way, it was doctor himself wearing his dark grey overcoat, looking quite worried. Seeing him I came out behind the tree and said.' Doctor??where were you?..'

'Huh? who's there?', questioned Dr.Philus coming out of his thoughts, then seeing me said.'Oh, Evelyn', like with a sign of relief then being concerned he asked me 'Are you alright?'

'Yes, I am fine, why are you asking like that? What's the matter?' 'No, nothing, I'm asking in general', he tried to assure me but I felt like he wasn't telling me something, I was about to ask then that why does his faces says something else but then he spoke up asking 'who are they?' I didn't noticed when Ali and Andy came out of the bush and was standing behind me.I looked back and saw them then introduced them to doctor.

'Oh! the kids of Russo!I was excepting you two!', he said. 'Hello doctor Philus, It's nice to meet you again.,' the twins said in a union.Again??But they told me they doesn't know where he lives..?

So, I asked,'What do you two mean by again..?'

'That means we've met him before', said Ali.'I can figure out that, but..',I was cut of by Andy.'I'm quite hungry, doc do you got anything to eat?'

'Oh yes why I have plenty, I was about to ask you all for food, dear, c'on in, and I also got your medicine ready..'saying this he he went inside and wave at us follow him.We went inside the trunk which is his home. He puts the heater on as it was getting cold by the sun was about to set. He gave us milk in small white tea cups and lots of grasshopper brownie bars to eat.

Ali and Andy started eating as soon as the snacks were served. I couldn't eat. It's not like I'm not fond of eating but there were so many questions roaming around my head.

'Why you are not eating..?', asked doctor. 'I'm not that hungry..'

then hearing that Andy said surprised, 'Who needs to be hungry to eat free brownies?!!',then adding an shock 'don't you like brownies??!' 'No, I do like brownies.. it's just that I am just thinking..' Then, 'What are you thinking of?', doctor asked.

'Nothing much, but doctor can you tell me where did you went like that, leaving the door open?'

'That's what are you wondering about..?', said looking quite nervous then said in hesitation, 'Well; I ,...I uh was.. out side, I was outside cause I went to um find new samples of neem leaves, I need them for the new medicine I am thinking of making, that's all..' when I didn't saw any bag in his hand for carrying the samples.

'That's all?' 'Yeah..' 'Then why didn't you locked the door before going out..?' 'oh, that.That I think I have forget to, I am getting really old and my memory is becoming weak day by day..', then quickly changing the topic as seemed like he doesn't want to talk about the sudden gone thing anymore,he went on saying 'So, Albert and Andrew, how do you like these brownies I've made? And how is your parents?' 'WHAT?!!shut up! you made these? These brownies are better than mom made for us!I love it!'. said Andy stuffing more in his mouth.

'Yes, this are lovely, doctor, we didn't know you are a cook too', said Ali then adding that their parents are all good.

'I'm glad you liked them, unlike someone who's not eating anything..', indicating to me, so I said back 'I'm eating, eating' and started eating.

'Here's the medicine your mother asked for', saying this doctor Philus started packing a purple liquid in a airtight medium sized glass bottle. 'You know it was hard to make, thank god I had this notes of my friend's where it's written how to make this within three days.'

'Who was this friend of yours & why are you saying was? Aren't you two friends anymore?', asked Ali, Me and Andy also wanted to know. 'He was a old pal of mine and a senior too, I'm sure you two', indicating Ali and Andy, 'have heard a lot about him.He was famous for doing good and many things but also for his appearance, his height and his crazy uncombed hair and bread.Oh he was such a great friend and a mentor, but he isn't with us anymore..', getting a little emotional. 'Are you talking about R.H?We have heard that you t were friends.'Ali asked.

'Yes, him..' with a sign. 'Oh well he is in a better place now..'

Andy the said,'I have heard that you two first meet when you first went at Hogwarrr' suddenly Ali elbowed him and Ali went by saying,'err..I uh ..um at there..', then I don't know why they looked at me, 'What?', I asked them. 'Nothing!' they said kind of terrified of something, I didn't understood then why they were acting that way. I don't know why today is happening strange things and people are hiding things from me, like they don't trust me or something..? what are the reasons?, I thought to myself, I was feeling annoyed and a little sad by then so I though of going back home and leave them their so they could talk freely, I didn't wanted to be a bother.'I'm going home', I said standing up.' Thank you for the brownies doctor, it's getting quite late so, I should be going' 'Yes, it's getting dark, you should get going as the the shadow of the sun's light still stays in the sky..and I've heard a storm coming up, so you all actually should go home soon.'

'yeah, We have heard about the storm too', said Ali, we should too now head to home', rolling eyes on Andy who wasn't thinking of leaving the brownies. 'hmm? oh what..yes!' said Andy after the pause in the room which make him realize we were expecting for his answer as his brother looking mad at him, he was pretty lost in eating.Then he said,' by the way what are we talking about..?'

'Nothing you should be concern of', Ali mocked him seeing how lost he was. Doctor Philus and Ali laughed shaking head as like there is no hope for him..I was trying not to laugh cause that would be little rude. What could he do? He just love eating and that's ok according to my opinion.

As Ali, Andy and doctor talked more about the weather and doctor was trying to convinced to take his umbrellas and they were refusing saying they doesn't need, I was waiting for them to come outside, Ali Andy has asked me to wait for them.I was standing in front of the open door looking outside the direction doctor came from looking worried, I have never seen him looking worried like that (he is a very jolly and carefree person) I was thinking where did he actually went? Who was this friend of him? Was he also a doctor? If he was famous than have I heard of him? I need to find out about this famous R.H., and what was the place they met.

I wonder why doctor doesn't like to say about his school life much. What has happened?Where is the place is again..What did just Andy told, Hog what..?
