It was about three years after Murdoc's death was announced, that everyone including Alphonce, Murdoc's five year old son, and everyone in the Gorillaz band mourns in silence over the loss of their loud leader, their crazy friend, their annoying bassist. No one was hurt more than Alphonce.

Russel, Noodle, and 2D tried their best to help make Alphonce feel better, but he only locked himself in his father's room holding tightly to the two things left by his father from his will, his captain's hat and the diablo bass guitar. Alphonce was very much like his father and he too had a gift on the bass guitar. He cries quietly to himself and doesn't stop until he was fast asleep. It wasn't just that Alphonce hides in his room, but to also hide from his horrible step-father, Gregory, drunk shouting and beating at the poor boy. He suffered the same cruel punishment his grandfather did for his father, Murdoc. Alphonce was force to dress as Pinocchio and dance while Gregory got drunk. The others wish they can do something to stop it but dealing with the growing bills on the table made it hard for them to solve this problem.

Gigs were cut short, their music was not selling well, and the bills grew into a mountain, each one demanding an immediate payment. As the remaining bandmates of Gorillaz were gathered in the kitchen, they wondered how they were going to come up with the money.

"1,500 pounds, there's no way we can earn enough to keep us from getting evicted." Russel frowns reading the latest set of bills.

"We're going have to try working in extra shifts, but it'll make it difficult to watch over Alphonce if we're all out working." Noodle spoke softly.

"Especially with Gregory living 'ere too, he doesn't do anything but sits and drinks. Since, Paula refuses to take Alphonce back, the brute `as been beating the poor boy." 2D exclaims.

It was true; Paula was Alphonce's birth mother. She left Alphonce as a baby at Murdoc's door, but like the past mistakes Murdoc faced, he kept Alphonce safe and happy. Still his fight with the boogieman didn't die, Murdoc was gone. It was then that Paula came back with Gregory and left him with her son. Since then Gregory took over everything, the home, the band, and Alphonce.

"So far the douchebag has been eating us out house and home. Lounging, it up. Not even Murdoc was a mess like him. Things were better with him around and Alphonce was happier." Russel said wishfully.

Alphonce was sitting at the top of the staircase listening to their conversation. He sees Gregory on the couch fast asleep in front of the TV, an empty bottle of beer in one hand, and a cigarette in the other. Gregory was like his dad, drinking and smoking, but the Murdoc everyone knew wouldn't put anyone, not even his own son through the same torture his father gave him. Climbing back up the stairs and back into his father's room, Alphonce curled up in bed and tried to sleep.
