New chapter added as I deleted the previous chapters thinking I didn't need them but I did. Hence why the read count is so low compared to everything else.

"Can me and you please talk outside for a minute?"

The person that was squeezing Dr Kozak's hand was squeezing it really tightly, much to Dr Kozak's irritation. He tried escaping his hand from the person, however it had kinda backfired completely.

Dr Kozak then turned around really really slowly, to see the person who was tugging at his right hand.

And when he saw the person, he pretty much frowned at then.

"Kieran?"

Kieran didn't say anything.

"Why are you talking to me?" Dr Kozak hissed really aggravatingly, a very hostile tone to his voice.
Kieran was about to open his mouth however Dr Kozak raised his index finger before Kieran really had a chance to say anything.

"You know what kid. Zip it. I really don't want to know."

Kieran was annoyed. Mainly at Dr Kozak however mainly at himself for another reason.

"Dr Kozak. Please."

Dr Kozak: I swear we made an oath to each other that we'd not speak to each other again for a long long time.

Kieran frowned and then sighed in frustration.

Kieran: *solemnly and sulkily* Yeah. We did.

Dr Kozak: *practically shouting at Kieran* Then why the hell have you broken the oath?

Dr Kozak was mad at Kieran, Kieran could tell. Although as soon as he had yelled that, pretty much everyone in the room had had their eyes on them, completely falling silent.

Kieran: Look. I know I've upset you...

Dr Kozak: *is shouting* If you know you've upset me then why would you go and upset me anyway?

Kieran didn't reply.

He was deeply contemplating it. Dr Kozak had upset him the first time, mainly because he had been focusing more on Maria Grace and Esperanza rather than Kieran.

Now Kieran had upset Dr Kozak, but soon he realised that he had taken it way to far- he killed Dr Kozak's niece, Kieran made Dr Kozak suicidal and he had pretty much been crying non stop because of Kieran.

Kieran: People are staring.

Dr Kozak: *annoyed* So what? What's your point? I'm annoyed at you, get over it.

Kieran really didn't know how to go about with this anymore. Soon he found out that he was completely lost for words.

Dr Kozak sighed, he was clearly way too mad at Kieran for what he did, taking a deep breath before saying anything else.

Dr Kozak: *more calm although less calm on the inside* I'm not going to lie, kid... you were the person that I was trying to avoid talking to the most today.

Kieran: And I understand that. I really do. Just heard me out though. Please. This is important, Dr Kozak.

Dr Kozak just stared at Kieran, Kieran doing the same thing. Dr Kozak was just about to open his mouth albeit stopped when Maria Grace's brother entered the scene.

Agent White: If you guys want to go and rant to each other, go and rant to each other privately. You're ruining the party.

Neither of them said anything after that, as they were both just shooting Agent White a dirty look.

Agent White: You heard me.

He then pushed Kieran and Dr Kozak to the door, opening the door and shutting it in their faces.

Agent White: Go rant privately outside.

Then he pretty much slammed the door in their faces.

Agent White: Bye!

Kieran turned to Dr Kozak next, who was full on livid at him for wasting his time.

Kieran: Can we go sort this out outside?

Dr Kozak: *folds his arms scornfully* I would if I wanted to but I don't want to talk to you.

Kieran: Laboratory then?

Kozak didn't say anything for a while, with Kieran just pretty much helplessly staring at him in the meantime until...

Dr Kozak: You know what. Seems like you're not going to take no for an answer. I don't care. Okay.

They then walked really quickly to Dr Kozak's nearest laboratory, which was pretty much the same as the other one, just purple.

Dr Kozak forcefully slammed the door behind him, not saying anything. Kieran did most of the talking anyway.

Kieran: Look. I know you're mad at me.

Dr Kozak: I'm not mad at you.

Kieran couldn't really help but to smile at that.

Kieran: *beams* Really?

Dr Kozak: I'm really mad at you.

Kieran: Dr Kozak, please.

Dr Kozak: *shouts at him* No Kieran! Do you know how terrible my life has been lately? And do you know how worse you've made it?

Kieran: I realise I've been a bit selfish lately.

Dr Kozak slapped him.

Dr Kozak: "A bit?!" Kieran, you killed my niece! Realise that she was the only person in my family left here- besides Elizabeth and Sylvester- that was actually alive. And she was my favourite niece! *tears are stinging his eyes* And what a terrible mess you've made of Christabelle's life now, because you've killed her.

Kieran: *his voice is going* I didn't mean to. Honestly. I don't know what came over me. I'm really sorry.

Dr Kozak: "You didn't mean to?!" *low key ranting* Are you saying that you didn't mean to kill my five year old niece? And you didn't mean to say any of those rude things about me in Security Lockdown Mode when we were rhyming?

Kieran: Uhm...

Yeah, Kieran was done for.

Dr Kozak: You know what. Zip it. I don't want to hear anything.

Kieran just watched Dr Kozak as he sat down in a spinning chair crying his eyes out on the table in front of him.

Kieran: *coming closer to him* Look. I'm sorry.

Dr Kozak: Sorry doesn't push it, Kieran!

Kieran bit his lip in return as he thought something.

Kieran: You know what. I'm going.

Dr Kozak then used his hand to zap the door without actually moving or anything.

Dr Kozak: That means you can't leave.

Kieran: Well played.

No one said anything afterwards.

Kieran: Listen. My voice is going again. Is there any other way I can talk to you without actually saying anything?

Dr Kozak: *raises his head in indignation* You think stuff and I read your mind.

Kieran: *thinking* Okay.

Dr Kozak didn't say anything.

Kieran: *thinking* Dr Kozak. Honestly. Just hear me out.

Dr Kozak: Hear you out on what?

Kieran: *thinking* I'm sorry. And I really mean it. Honestly.

Dr Kozak: *folds his arms and frowns at him* Sorry for what?

Kieran: *thinking* For so many things. Honestly. For killing Christabelle. For making you nearly want to kill yourself. For saying all those malevolent stuff about you.

Dr Kozak: Keep talking, there's more.

Kieran: *thinking* For insulting you. Honestly. I don't know how to say this anymore. I'm really sorry. And I've always been sorry. I just didn't know how to break it to you.

Dr Kozak: Let me guess. You just didn't want to apologise to me in public because you didn't want to admit that you were wrong and I was right.

Kieran: *thinking* Exactly.

Dr Kozak: So can I laugh at your face then?

Kieran: *thinking* What do you mean?

Dr Kozak: *starts helplessly dancing right in front of Kieran's face, Kieran is just staring at him* I'm right. You're wrong. I'm right. You're wrong. I'm right. I'm right. You're wrong. I'm right. You're wrong. I'm-

Kieran: *folds his arms and thinking* Okay I get it.

Dr Kozak: *is smiling really* I was just messing with you kid. You're like my son nowadays. Honestly.

Kieran smiled at that, not saying anything else for a while.

Kieran: And you're like my father sir.

Dr Kozak smiled faintly, thinking something but didn't actually say it out loud.

Silence for a while, then...

Kieran: *thinking* Truth be told I only said and did those things out of jealousy.

Dr Kozak just stared at him blankly.

Dr Kozak: What do you mean?

Kieran: *thinking* I'm jealous of you, okay?

Dr Kozak: *half smiling but half frowning* Why?

Kieran: *thinking* Your superpowers mainly. And other stuff.

Dr Kozak: Like....

Kieran: *thinking* The fact that you're never afraid to say what you think and I just admire some of your relationships with other people.

Dr Kozak: So let me get this straight. You only said those mean things to me out of jealousy?

Kieran: *thinking* Yeah. Pretty much.

Dr Kozak was about to say something, but just then Agent Sylvester came into the scene.

Sylvester: Who are you talking to?

Dr Kozak freaked out when he saw his cousin just standing there, Kieran not saying anything.

Dr Kozak: Sylvester? How the hell did you get in here?

Sylvester: I was just taking a nap.

Dr Kozak: In my laboratory?

Sylvester: Yeah.

Dr Kozak then shot him a really convincing look of death.

Sylvester: Okay you're mad at me. I can tell.

Dr Kozak: Yeah I am.

Sylvester: But honestly. Who are you talking to?

Dr Kozak: I'm reading Kieran's mind and responding to it via my mouth.

Sylvester: Why can't both of you just talk via your mouths?

Dr Kozak: Kieran's lost his voice again.

Sylvester: Oh okay....*really dramatic pause* So are you really a mind reader, Demetrius?

Dr Kozak: Don't call me by my first name. *examines his fingernails deeply- signature move* And yeah. And stop stalling. Get out.

Sylvester: Okay. A lot of people have said you are but I've never actually believed them... let's put it to the test, shall we...

Dr Kozak: Uhm... *realises that there's pretty much nothing else to say to that except okay* Okay.

Sylvester: Read this. *thinking something* Our last family reunion at Christmas, I may or may not have switched Elizabeth's Christmas present with mine because hers was better than mine.

Why Sylvester would tell Kozak that, Kozak didn't know!

Dr Kozak gasped in horror.

Dr Kozak: *really loudly for the whole world to hear* I'm telling Elizabeth!

Sylvester: *eyes widen* You wouldn't dare tell Elizabeth would you?

Dr Kozak: But Elizabeth is my sister. So she therefore has a right to know.

Kieran: *thinking* Elizabeth has a right to know what?

Dr Kozak: Don't worry, Kieran. It doesn't concern you.

Sylvester: Please don't tell Elizabeth.

Dr Kozak: I'm telling her. Haha.

Sylvester: I hate you. *thinking something else*

Dr Kozak: *laughs* I was joking... your reaction was priceless. And yeah, you can call me by my first name... it wouldn't be fair if everyone in the family can except you so why not.

Sylvester: Okay thanks. And are you really a fortune teller?

Dr Kozak: *casually blows up pink bubblegum* I believe I am. Yes.

Sylvester: Okay so can you look into the future and tell me what happens next in my life?

Dr Kozak: Okay.

Silence for about three minutes then...

Dr Kozak: I just looked into the future.

Sylvester: So tell me. What happens in my future life?

Dr Kozak: You really wanna know?

Sylvester: Yeah.

Dr Kozak: You really really wanna know?

Sylvester: Yeah.

Dr Kozak: You really really really wanna know?

Sylvester: *slightly annoyed, is frowning, also says this less enthusiastically* Yeah.

Dr Kozak: You die.

Kieran laughed to himself. He was on his yellow iPhone really, waiting for their conversation to end, obviously eavesdropping on their conversation once again.

Sylvester: You've got to be kidding me.

Dr Kozak: I'm sorry cousin Sylvester but I can't just tell you what happens in the future. You have to find out yourself.

Sylvester: *rolls his eyes* You know what, fine... I respect that.

Dr Kozak: Well I learnt one thing about you today. That you like switching people's Christmas presents if you're not proud of your own, you ungrateful little person.

Sylvester: *smiles* And I learnt that you're truly a mind reader and clairvoyant. Anyway I've got to leave. Bye.

Dr Kozak: *cautiously closing the door* Bye.

He turned to Kieran next.

Kieran: So Dr Kozak... forgive and forget?

Dr Kozak: Let me think about it.

Kieran smiled.

Dr Kozak: No.

Kieran: What? Why not...

Dr Kozak: You didn't forgive me the first time I asked for forgiveness so why the hell would I forgive you?

Kieran rolled his eyes in disbelief. He then stared at Dr Kozak in the eyes, Dr Kozak staring at Kieran in the eyes, and soon after Dr Kozak realised that Kieran was sniffing helplessly.

Dr Kozak: *sighs in frustration* Don't cry. *rolls his eyes* Fine. I forgive you.

Kieran smiled, rushing up to hug Dr Kozak.

Kieran: Yay! Thank you!

Dr Kozak didn't really say anything.

Kieran: Promise me that we'll never have an argument ever again?

Dr Kozak: Can't do that Kieran.

Kieran: What? Why not...

Dr Kozak: I just looked into the future right now and we're going to have a third argument towards the end of this month.

Kieran: About what?

Dr Kozak: *pretends to zip his mouth* That, Kieran, I cannot discuss. You will have to wait to find out.

Kieran: There was another reason on why I was so helplessly rude to you, you know..

Dr Kozak: *raises an eyebrow at him* What? Besides your jealousy?

Kieran: *nods vigorously* Yes.

Dr Kozak: What is it then, Kieran?

Kieran then showed something that he was holding in his hand.

Kieran: This.

Dr Kozak: *looks down at it with Kieran then stares at Kieran's face* What is it?

Kieran: An enormous red diamanté gem.

Dr Kozak: And why have you got an enormous red diamanté gem?

Kieran: Diana Valentine.

Dr Kozak: What about Diana Valentine....

Kieran: When she booby trapped me and Esperanza in the cube, she secretly placed this diamanté gem at the back of my neck, making me become rude to people without any meaning to.

Dr Kozak: And how the hell did you get it off?

Kieran: Cynthia Rose did it for me when you gave Esperanza all of her birthday puppies.

Dr Kozak: But how did Diana Valentine get that gem to make you become rude to people without any meaning to? That's what I don't really understand.

Kieran: Read this sign.

Then Kieran showed Dr Kozak the back of the gem.

Dr Kozak: "Warning! May cause uncontrollable rudeness when on someone's body".

Kieran: And it was on my neck so that I guess figures, really.

Dr Kozak: I understand now. Thanks for telling me.

Dr Kozak then unlocked the door, completely leaving Kieran hanging.

Kieran: Wait! *follows him outside the neon roller skating corridors* Where are you going?

Dr Kozak: Well where do you think I'm going?

Kieran didn't reply.

Dr Kozak: Puppies weren't the only thing I got Esperanza for her birthday. I got her something else. Something even better.

Then he was off.
