This is Jinks Montreal’s Story through Brandis the Record Keeper
Acknowledgement:
“I, Brandis the Record Keeper keep on getting Zerra the Meritanian blaring the wording of ‘Jinks Montreal’ onto me and another word ‘Remember him!’
She keeps on saying that into some insisting tone annoying me. I’m not entirely sure of what’s so special about this wording I keep on getting. I don’t get it the name Jinks rhymes with inks despite hearing a faint roaring noise of anger whenever thinking of the ink wording. Ugh. I might as well do what’s she’s blaring onto me and think of the name Jinks Montreal and hope I have an enough writing paper to write down his story.”
Story begins as this happens after Katherine passes away when Robert is a twenty two year old male from what I gleaned from his memories:
Jinks mediated in the gym room of the penthouse kneeling. He felt himself still upset with Katherine’s death. He recalled she died from cancer the same cancer that killed her cousin Victoria years ago. He groaned remembering that Katherine’s cancer was found too late help her live longer than six months. He struggled to relax as a memory with Robert who bore Katherine’s face full grown walking out of the building after an argument with him. He had no idea how long it was since Katherine’s death since Robert’s walkout along with not hearing from his son. He felt himself tired from having a rage episode which he had discovered him attacking the punching bag. He halted his punching to kneel and mediate which memories of the past had popped up making him sad. He recalled to himself another case of mediating while upset in the gym room a day of hearing Guard Kensington’s death from cancer when Robert was a five year old child. He frowned remembering to himself that Katherine came into the gym room and comforted him by hugging him which he wound up mating with her in the room. One done came out of the gym room to spot Robert in the hallway looking like he was crying. He managed to get Robert to his bedroom and sat in an armchair watching his son sleep.
He fell asleep to get a dream of Lance telling him “You should let others do the job of protecting Robert while you protected yourself from harm.”
He had woken up at the moment to stare at the bed his son was in and looked at the window to spot golden eyes appear in front of the window followed by them fading from view. Jinks at the moment realized that his father was correct about that which he recalled meeting the Charon years ago before Robert and figured that they were in the room watching his son. He remembering had got up from the chair and left the room walking to his bedroom where he went to the bed and got in it to sleep with Katherine who cuddled him with her arms around him. Jinks exhaled a breath as the memory went by his mind. He felt sadness hit him hard burst into tears crying out cries of anguish while rocking his form back and forth. He cried and cried till the tears stopped and felt exhaustion hit him which he laid his form on the mat and shut his eyes. He dreamed of Lance again who looked at him with black eyes which he figured out what his father was angry about kneeled on the sand and burst into tears.
He spoke in a pleading tone “Father.”
Jinks felt his hair grabbed and his head jerked up followed by a hand on his throat gagging him as his father spoke “I’m not amused that you have forgotten yourself and is letting grief control you. So stop it now or else.”
He gagged out “Father, please-“
He was interrupted by Lance speaking “I mean it Jinks. Stop this childish behavior and act as I want you to act now.”
He groaned as Lance continued to speak “No wonder your son Robert had to get away from you. He recognized that you were acting improperly and wasn’t doing anything to stop it hence he leaving you.”
Jinks stiffened hearing his father’s words on his son as Lance continued to speak “Don’t worry Jinks your son will be back but for reasons that’ll surprise you.”
He groaned as he felt his father force his eyes shut.
Jinks came to find he lying on the mat floor sat up with sadness running through him. He kneeled to stare at the wall slowly forced himself to stand which he went to the mirror and stared at his face and form. Jinks saw he had dark circles underneath his eyes while feeling exhausted and his skin was a pale color looking like he was sick with something. He rubbed a hand on his forehead and slowly walked out of the gym room to the bedroom which he eyed the clock seeing it was eleven o’clock at night. He went to the clock and shut off the alarm then walked to the bathroom going inside to strip himself of his clothes and shoes which were all black, a t-shirt, dressy like pants, sneakers and underwear shorts. He frown feeling himself dirty from not showering for too many days along with his clothes not feeling fresh despite him wearing it all the time for the same amount of days he didn’t shower. He went into the shower stall and turned on the water to heat toleration levels feeling him better from the water running down him. Jinks grabbed the soap and shampoo and cleansed him till he felt himself fully clean. He stood in the shower letting the water spray down on him. He sighed to put his face in the shower’s spray with his eyes shut letting the water run down him. He exhaled a breath to lower his head while opening his eyes and staring at the tile. Jinks shut off the water and walked out of the stall to the towel rack which he grabbed a towel. He dried himself fully and spotted a pair of pants hanging on a hook on the door which he went to and grabbed them as he put away the towel. He put on the pants feeling them a bit loose on his form which he walked out of the bathroom to the bed and got in it on his side pulling the blankets over his head. He shut his eyes feeling himself tired enough to sleep felt himself passing out unconscious surrendered to the sleepiness hitting him.
Jinks woke up hearing the alarm sounding its noises yanked the blankets from his head to glare at the clock seeing it. He frowned seeing it indicate that it was morning around nine o’clock. He checked the date with a verbal order and frowned seeing it struggling to remember if he was asleep for the night or longer.
He frowned noticing the clock’s computer spoke “Sleep mode time listed now.”
Jinks waited as he heard a female electronic voice speaking “Thirty four hours.”
He frowned hearing that felt himself no longer tired but wide awake got up from the bed and went into the bathroom to see his clothes he wore previously were gone along with his shoes. He frowned staring at the spot where they were sighed and felt an urge to shower. Jinks obeyed and once done walked out in the buff to the closet to peer inside seeing Katherine’s clothes and shoes gone from there leaving his clothes remaining in it. He groaned going to the dresser to pull out some underwear and socks which he put on his form then grabbed some clothes. His clothes consisted of a black t-shirt and pants and put on a pair of sneakers. He felt his hair walked out of the closet to the bathroom to look in the vanity drawer to spot Katherine’s items was gone from on top of the vanity and in the drawers he pulled to look in. He found a hair brush in one drawer he recognized as his. Jinks brushed his hair a neat style then walked out of the bathroom after putting the brush down on the sink counter. He walked to the bedroom door and swung it open to spot Harrington with his hair a mop of white standing outside with a familiar expression on his face. He frowned seeing the butler walked out with Harrington following him to the dining room where he sat down at the head of the table. Jinks waited as Vanda with her hair completely white came out of the kitchen carrying a tray which she set in front of him on the table then stood staring at him. He felt himself ravenously hungry ate everything in front of him
leaving no bites left and spotted cups full of pink liquid about two of them besides the food. Jinks gulped both of them down then placed each cup on the tray. He sat back in the chair as Vanda removed the tray going into the kitchen. He sighed as he got up wandering out of the dining room to the living room which he looked around feeling like needing a cat to keep him company. He frowned recalling Snowball living with them living at the White House then at the penthouse till she passed away at the time of Katherine’s cancer diagnose. He frowned spotting a small urn on a stand sitting on a shelf which he went to stare at it.
He saw words on the urn which he read “Snowball, family cat.”
Jinks reached out a hand and gave the urn a gentle rub then frowned spotting a picture frame sitting next to the urn. He stared at the picture inside the frame which was of Snowball sitting back on her haunches eyes staring at the camera view with some happy look in her eyes that made him feel sad. Jinks stiffened recalling he feeling that way after Katherine’s death. He stiffened further recalling himself holed up in the gym room not coming out for anything like eating food or showering or sleeping. He remembered
