He had two son, Jones and Jackson, who were everything to him. Jones had a wife, Jess, who was a beloved daughter of Mr. Madison's dear friend. As relationships were sturdy and people were happy, it seemed as if almost nothing went wrong.  On a gloomy afternoon, when everyone had gone out except Jess, there had been weird noises outside. Jess went to take a look, but as she opened the door, a tall man stood there with a grim on his face. Immediately, she saw that it had been Jones's arch enemy, Luther.
