I'm dying.
Doctors say I have a few days at best. All I can think about, I never found my father. That blank in my head. Is just missing. That'll be gone soon. I had some good times. I worked at a top law firm. Met a women, divorced her, bought a ferrari. Kinda did it all it but the one thing i didn't I Decided not to continue that class. It's all to weird to me. Gets me thinking, if this stuff exists does god exist? Other deities? What else exists in this crazy world. Spirits do. What does that mean for me. Better to just forget. Then I hear it. The beeps stop. My hearts stopped. This is it. The final ride. The last rollercoaster. Nurses rush in, with my doctor following closely attempting to scrub up before Im dead and then. Blackness. All blackness. Just nothing.
"HAAAAAAAAAAH" I wake up startled, I dead, did I? No I did die. I was in the hospital. This must be it. The afterlife I was waiting for.
"Is he awake"
"he good"
"Arthur, arthur can you hear me"
"Are you a angel" I say hopeful and confused
"No, arthur we need you to be awake" he says very concerned
"I am awake"
"Arthur I know this is confusing but I'm going to blunt"
"I resurrected you" he says completely unfazed like this is nothing new to him
"What, how, where am I" I say baffled and confused
"You're safe" He says reassuringly
"am I?" I dont know these people, as I look around I see scruffy men in coats, torn from wear, hair raggedy like its never been cleaned, and rags. Rags all over the floor, the cold metal table im laying on is covered in blood, what did they do to me?
"Yes"
"I suppose I should explain myself, im carter, this is mike, and jimmy"
"We're friends of your father"
"My father?" I say completely baffled but he seems unfazed
"Yes"
"your father, he'd be disappointed in you"
"You know him?" I said wondering
"Not really, he knows us though, Promised to keep you safe. When I heard you were dying we came as fast as possible"

"too late" Mike says
"Not too late enough" Jimmy says apathetic and looking toward the wall
"Look I'm sure its confusing, would you like me to explain, you ready?"
"i suppose as ready as I'll ever be" I had just died, I was ready for anything.
"OKay we used a blood transformation spell, blood from another living human to put into you, and activated the blood to restart you're heart, then using a simple transfiguration restarted your dying cells, with new ones, similar to what they do with stem cells "
"The art of resurrection. Its all very scientific."
"I thought you just casted a spell." I say recalling the class I took
"Ha no must've taken the class with mr brown."
"How'd you know"
"He always does crazy stuff like that make it more mythical than it actually is"
"Its pretty damn mythical." says jimmy
"Too much at once might overwhelm him"
"like I give a shit" Jimmy says angrily
"Calm it jimmy"
"We were having a good time in california, then all of sudden, you sense a disturbance in the force or some shit, and then we have to fly to fucking cold ass chicago, just to find this kid dead, and youre all ahh we need to resurrect him, so we fucking kill someone and now were in a shitty ass warehouse, waiting for the cops to find us"
"They won't and you know I made a promise to his father"
"AND WHERE THE FUCK IS HE"
"Yeah where is my dad" I say eagerily hoping he has a answer
"I don't know the answer to that"
"You don't know shit" jimmy says abruptly
Im still laying there unable to move, I'm trying my best, to wiggle my toes anything but I can't Im stuck here, this is worse than the hospital bed.
"When can i move" I say just laying there
"shut u- oh Im sorry, jimmy is a bit of a hothead"
"take that back"
"No fuck you, anyways give it a few days, I can't magic your recovery." - carter says worriedly
"we gotta stay here??" Jimmy says
"yes, for fucks sake, we gotta stay here jimmy" - carter says
I look at mike, he's just been sitting there, waiting or something, his mind doesn't seem in it. I wonder whats he doing as im wondering Carter hits me.
"This will put you to sleep for a few days, when you wake up you'll at least have some motor control" - Carter says
"What are you doing, what no don't, please dontsuhmychav"
"Good night, well be back" - Carter says as I drift off slowly.
What just happened, my dad knows these guys somehow, they might be a connection, something. A lead. Why am I thinking like this, I'm not a detective. Never really wanted to be, I just want to find him. I know he's out there somewhere, he owes me some explanations. A explanation. Something. Anything.
