Alex sat outside the room in his hospital gown. He had wanted to be in the room but a nurse told him he couldn't be, so he was waiting outside with Laf and an older man who smiled at Alex. "Why're you here lad?" The man asked.
"My mommy is getting me a little brother! My very own!" Alex giggled.
The man chuckled. "That's very sweet."
"What about you Mr.Man?" Alex pondered.
"I- I am doing a scan of my body." The man said.
"That sounds fun! Why?" Alex asked, his eyes wide and bright.
The man chuckled yet again, amused by Alex's bouncy spirit. "For not so fun reasons lad."
"What reasons are those?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows in curiosity.
"I'm finding out if my lung cancer has spread." The man frowned slightly, but Alex wasn't affected.
"Did you smoke the bad stuff?" Alex asked, crossing his arms in disapproval.
"I did unfortunately." The man looked at the ground, trying to hide the peak of his smile from the boy.
"Well then-  Karmasai Dutch." Alex said.
"What?"
"Karamasai Dutch. The lady that comes back to get you if you've done something bad." Alex explained.
"Do you mean Karma's a bit- you know what? Never mind. Your right." The man shrugged.
"No that's rude Alex!" Laf pouted at Alex.
