Eternal Love - The Old Man

As the senior librarian was unwilling to see her library converted into a pig sty, she approached Alexis and demanded an explanation as to what they were doing.

"Sorry Madam, but we are looking for books related to the Kalton Shooting. I wonder if......"

"No, the Kalton Library does not possess the books that you want," the senior librarian interrupted as she ushered Alexis and her classmates out of the library.

The optimism and confidence that Alexis possessed before the bunch of them entered the library vanished as they walked away from the library dejectedly.

"Hey, the whole lot of you! I am able to provide you with the details regarding the Kalton Shooting."

Upon hearing that, Alexis and company stopped dead in their tracks. Alexis turned her head and saw an old man standing at the entrance of the library waving and calling out to them. Alexis and her classmates hesitated and consulted each other for opinions. For all they knew, that old man may be a pervert preying on teenagers. On the other hand, that old man may know something about the Kalton Shooting. After a brief consultation with each other, they had a consensus. The decision on whether to trust that old man would lie on Alexis. After all, she was the one who was interested with the Kalton Shooting.

After much consideration, Alexis decided to trust the old man and returned to the library. As for her classmates, they provided Alexis with ridiculous excuses before dashing off, much to the dismay of Alexis.

"Good riddance, I cannot believe you have such friends," the old man exclaimed as Alexis forced a grin.

"I am Joshua Rey. The staff here all call me Uncle Rey and you shall be of no exception. Anyway, you are..."

"Alexis," Alexis replied.

"Well then Alexis, let us begin our journey to Kalton College, 30 years ago," Uncle Rey exclaimed as he led Alexis back into the library and into a room.

"Come on Uncle Rey. Stop pacing back and forth. You are making me giddy, and I do not want to be unconscious without hearing the story from you. So please, tell me about the Kalton Shooting now," Alexis pleaded.

"Alright. I just want a little suspense to make you feel agitated. That will prove how much you want to know about the Kalton Shooting." Uncle Rey replied with a laugh as Alexis stared at him in disbelief.

"I see you are rather impatient, young lady. I think I should begin the story about the Kalton Shooting now, so as to prevent you from leaving the library frustrated and irritated," Uncle Rey continued
