"Hello? Dad? What's wrong? Why did you call me now? Is something Wrong?" She questioned and after hearing what the person on the other end of the line said, she was stunned.

"Oh, okay I've heard what you said. I... I've heard" she expressed as she cut the line. She was thinking of a way to solve the problem that had fallen into her hands now.

And what gives you the guts to butt into what is going on here. I mean... anything happening here doesn't have anything to do with you legally...so why butting in?

    "I think it's really impressive how you were able to catch all those details on time..
