Mike gasped, rubbed his knees with his hands raised his head, and said “Sometimes, I umm.. (he exhaled) I usually ask myself, how my father will feel or say if he is seeing what I am about to do for him?”.

Chapter fifty-three: shock. Officer Joe remembered him and he asked “What are you doing here?”. Officer Joe was surprised to see him.

It's me Joe, Officer Joe, we met like days, weeks, or months ago, didn't you remember?” Officer Joe asked. He was still surprised and was kind of happy. “Umm… I don't think so, sorry,” Manson replied. Manson remembered him, but he had to deny knowing him. “Come on! It's me, Joe,” officer Joe said.

Mike walked through the crowds, searching for billionaire Andrew but he did not see him. As Mike continued his scouting, he mistakenly bumped into police officer Ruby. “Oh, I am sorry, it is that I can't easily move around with the crowd and everyone moves around, I hope you understand,” Mike said. He asked politely and he looked into the eyes of Officer Ruby. Mike didn't know exactly who she was and Officer Ruby didn't know exactly who Mike was really. Officer Ruby moved back, because of the way they bumped into each other.

It lingers in the air long after the last note has faded, leaving the listener with a sense of yearni
Chapter fifty-six: upstairs. As Mike walked through the security laser light he triggered the security alarm. “Oh, shit!” Mike exclaimed. He looked around, the elevator got shut and a red light bulb began to flick but the alarm was not that loud.

He urges Mason to proceed with the actual plan. “Okay, I will,” Mason replied. He ended the conservation.
