"This is not the same necklace, the one around your necklace then is very old" Mr Anderson said.

"I... I only changed the chain only, I found it disgusting to put on a rusty necklace. So I attached a golden one to the old key pendant instead. It doesn't matter or does it?" Simon asked wiping his tears.

"Yeah.. This particular Pendant, I've seen a similar one before " I told him, collecting the necklace from him and almost scrutinating it.

"Yeah, that was the day it dropped off my necklace and you picked it up and gave it back to me" Simon said.

"No, that's not it" I said shaking my head negatively.
"But well, maybe it not what I'm thinking . I mean it is very possible for over hundred people to have the same possible key and lock pendants. I've seen the same pendant of same design and in old gold colour except that I saw the Lock Pendant and I think this tiny key pendant would penetrate easily into it" I concluded.
"I'm not too sure though" I added.

Simon didn't say anything, he didn't take what I said serious. I could tell he's mind was still compiling the big shock he got today.

"Around whose neck did you find a rusty necklace and silver lock pendant? " My Dad asked me.

Huh? Am I already calling him my Daddy?

"Around Kyle's neck" I responded.

"Kyle? " Simon asked me.

"Kyle Pitts?" His Dad asked.

"You mean, your third Friend? " My mom said.

"Ye-ah" I replied.

"Wait! If Kyle's necklace is similar to mine and if truly this key" Referring to his pendant..
"...Successfully penetrate into it and unlock his locked pendant. What does it mean? " Simon asked.

Ah! I never thought of this and I never related it this way.
Does it mean Kyle and Simon are related?

"It could mean that you and Kyle are related or maybe if the necklace was given to Kyle by an outsiders.., it could also mean that you are related to someone Kyle knows... " My mom said.

"No,this can't be possible. Daddy ... Gosh!" Simon hit his face as if he made a mistake.

"I'm not stopping you from calling me Dad, Daddy, father" Mr Anderson corrected.

"Okay.
A mere necklace can't tell who my biological relations are" He said.

"You think so? " His father said..

"Yes, it's just...it's just a mere necklace" Simon added.

"Okay but... " He paused..
"Does anyone of you know where Kyle Pitt lives? " He asked as not minding what his adopted son was saying.

I shook my Head,
Just imagine, Kyle is a very close friend of mine yet I don't know where he lives, all I know is that it's here in Wearous.
My mom, she doesn't attend Wearous High School, she's not a student! So there's no way she could know where students from the school lives.

"Really Dad? We don't need this. It doesn't matter!" Simon grumbled.

"We can't tell yet Simon" Mr Anderson said.
"Do you not know where he lives too? " He asked him.

Before he said anything, He interrupted him.
"Anyways, I can get it" He said... Dipping his hand into his pocket and brought out his phone.

Mrs Smith!
I heard they are really close.

*-*

Mrs Amelia Smith has the record of all students biodatas and she wasted no time in searching for Kyle's address.

Simon kept insisting that there's absolutely no need to go meet Kyle and ask for enquiries about the similar necklace that is around his neck.
He (Simon) has no alternative than to listen to what his father says even when his father told him to come with him to Kyle's place.

While Audrey and her mom stayed behind. Everything includes them too, Only that Audrey acts like she disbelieved everything Mr Anderson and her mom said. About Mr Wealthy being her biological father.
It sounds so unbelievable..
The most well-known being, the one who swims in wealth is her Father.
Whata Joke but it's no joke.

*-*-*

They got to Kyle's place after some minutes, the driver did a great Job by alighting from the car before them and obstructing people from seeing who came down from the car.

They knocked on the door just once and Mrs Pitt, Kyle's mom opened the door almost instantly.

"Mr Anderson!?"
"I'm surprised having you two in my house. How may I help you? " She exclaimed.

"Oh, Come on in" She quickly said when she noticed that they needed to get in before people would notice their presence.
And Good, she's not part of those that are dying hard to have him around.

"My Husband is not around" She said as if she's supposed to. That statement alone signifies that something is not right between herself and her husband .

"Where's Kyle? " Mr Anderson asked.

"Oh Kyle, he's not around too" His mom responded.

"Nothing is wrong, I just wanted to check and perhaps ask him something. When would he be back? "

"Well, he got himself engaged with.." She paused.
"With something.He returned not quite long to take his things"

"Did he travel or go somewhere far? " Simon asked.

"Nah, he's kinda camped somewhere and he'll return in two weeks time" Mrs Pitt said, hiding Kyle's whereabouts, she knows her son too well.. He won't want someone like Simon know what he's into.
"Ok, tell me what's wrong 'cos I'm aware that you two again are not in good terms, do you wanna meet him for some sort of reconciliation or what? " Kyle's mom asked.

"Well, no. I... I.. do not mean they won't reconcile but that's not why I'm here with him. The process of reconciling doesn't require my presence you know.. " He chuckled and Kyle's mom smiled.

"Yeah, it should be between the two alone" She said.

"Exactly" He nodded and looked at Simon's neck. (He pendant).
"Uhm Mrs Pitt, By chance do you know anything about a rust gold necklace with an ancient lock pendant that is on Kyle's neck? " Mr Anderson decided to ask her the question instead.

"Huh... "

"I mean something like this.. " He said and pointed at the key-pendant around Simon's neck.
"It's similarly different "

"Wh...what? This Pendant.. "Her eyes widened shockingly.
" Where did he get that pendant from? What about the necklace? Where did you get it from? What.. What about the Chil... "
