            That night, Mitchell decided he would have the kids go to bed early. He sat by himself outside the entrance on the front porch. Later, Katy joined him. Mitchell turned away. Katy then looked at him.
                          
            "I know, what's going on. You're mad at me!" said Katy. "Right?"
                          
            Mitchell just smiled a little, shaking his head a little. Katy then moved from where she was sitting to get in front of him.
                          
            "You are mad, right? Because I went with Dustin and the boys." Katy pestered Mitchell.
                          
            "Has there been any time, I'd be mad at you for that?" said Mitchell.
                          
            "Mitchell, I have you tell you this. I love you, and I fell in love with you, since this orphanage opened up." Katy confessed emotionally. "I know that you perhaps love me too."
                          
            "It is very easy to love someone, but you should love the one, whose life is incomplete. Mine is already fulfilled." Mitchell explained.
                          
            "With whom? Alex? Nick? Erica? Miles?" asked Katy.
                          
            "With all kids at this orphanage. I hope they grow up to be well educated and will always succeed in every corner. Their lives become settled, is my dream!" continued Mitchell.
                          
            "And my dream?" asked Katy. "What about that?"
                          
  
                          
            "God knows." Mitchell replied.
                          
  
                          
Meanwhile... 
                          
            Dustin had already gone to a local hotel, which was opened and owned by none other than John Dodson. Apparently, Dodson used his one million dollars, which Eddy Mills gave him for his efforts, to start a hotel business, and Dustin wanted his money back, which Dodson owed him.
                          
            "You sly rascal, Dodson." Dustin sniggered.
                          
            In Dodson's office, he was getting off a phone call, on his smartphone.
                          
            "Alright, I'll talk to you, later!" said Dodson to the person on the other end. "Bye!"
                          
            Then he picked up a walkie-talkie.
                          
            "Yes. Whoever is at the door, please come in." Dodson said in the radio.
                          
            Dustin then entered the office. Dodson looked at him and was shocked. Guess he wasn't expecting Dustin to be at his door again any time soon.
                          
            "When the hell did, he get out?" whispered Dodson, then pretended to sound cheerful. "Ah, bro! Ah, man! Dustin! When'd you get out?"
                          
            He got up to hug him, pretending to be a friend.
                          
            "Yeah, it's been a while." Dustin said. "I see you've started a hotel business."
                          
            "Well, needed to get buy, you know?" replied Dodson.
                          
            "Where's my one million you owe me?" said Dustin, suddenly.
                          
            "What one million?" asked Dodson.
                          
            "Hey, fool! You borrowed one million dollars from me, promised you'd pay me back after I'm out. That's why I stayed in jail for four years!" Dustin answered in anger.
                          
            "I've not forgotten. But nowadays, everything is handled by Rubio Salazar. Let me talk to him first." Dodson went on to speak.
                          
            "Talk to Salazar, Alcazar or Latimore, I don't care! I want my money back, ASAP!" said Dustin. "Now give me some of it, like $600, to go eat and drink and chill!"
                          
            "Alright, I'll grab it from my safe." Dodson replied. "Gotta be here, all this stuff is yours anyways."
                          
            "Hey, is that blue 2025 Lexus ES 350 outside yours?" asked Dustin.
                          
            "Yeah, why?" said Dodson.
                          
            "I need a car to get around places!" said Dustin. "Hand over the keys, you did earn all this from my money."
                          
            "Take anything of mine, I will not decline!" said Dodson. "Please don't forget to put in gas first."
                          
            "See you, Monday." Dustin said, with that he walked out the door.
                          
            Dodson then made a call on his iPhone.
                          
            "Hey, this asshole just walked out with my Lexus. Tail him, corner him, finish him!" said Dodson.
                          
            "Yes, boss!" said the voice on the other line.
