Could it be, did he? I don't feel too good about the idea he is here; it could only mean one thing…' James anxiously walked over to greet the man, but before he could even open his mouth, the man stared at him and spoke. "What took you so long?" Jacob said without even caring if the man had some work to do. His case was far such a rare thing and needed checking right away. "I've been here for more than five minutes." James wanted to say a word or two, but didn't; he only clenched his hand into a ball and buried his annoyance from his brother’s words. He closed his eyes for a moment to calm down. If the man wasn’t his brother, he would have kicked him out

Leslie said as she opened the door, all dressed up. She was carrying her coat when she opened the door. "Where are you going?" Jacob asked, wondering why she looked anxious and, in a hurry, to go out. He thought for a moment if something had happened. Since he was with his brother, his brother didn’t mention anything about the woman’s son being in any danger. So, he wonders more as to what could be causing her to be this worried. "You didn't answer my call and I was worried where you were. I texted Dr. Miller and he messaged me that you came to visit him." She replied as the corner of her eyes then noticed the parcel on the floor. "What's that?" Before she could touch it, Jacob grabbed

She said all in sweat already from running all the way from their apartment. "I'm sorry, I was...""It's fine, don't run like that. Remember..."
