The Beginning

For once in his life, Lubic felt that all of his hard work had finally paid off: today he had finally made detective!

After his shift, Lubic and some of his comrades from the force went to celebrate his promotion with a drink. But Lubic could not stay too long, as he could not wait to break the news to his family. Besides, he had promised he would be home early because today was the day that both he and his nephew celebrated their birthdays; and not every day is the day that you celebrate turning thirty and your nephew turning ten.

So Lubic got home and surprised his family with the news of his promotion. Everyone was ecstatic. They had a lovely dinner, just the five of them: Lubic, his grandmother Mary, his brother Ryan, his sister-in-law Alyssa and his nephew Jason, then returned back to the home Lubic shared with his grandmother.

It was while playing a few video games with his nephew that the incident occurred.
