The instant they left,Henry's phone rang and he quickly picked up,displeased at the caller.

"Who's this?" He uttered in clear irritation dripping from his tone.

"Henry Storm," The deep voice uttered in pure amusement and that tone infuriated Henry whose anger went away.

"who the fuck are you?" Henry asked in fury,obviously furious by the audacity of the caller and the nerve to put a call across him.

    "Hello," Collins spoke, his voice firm and steady as he waited for the other end. While they were waiting for the hard and deep voice of the strange man, they were met with the soft and frail voice of Grandma Nicole, who sounded like one in a cage."Tony, please come and take me away from here," Grandma Nicole stuttered, her voice sounded weak and like one who was drained and there was no strength within."Grandmother, are you Okay?"

There was an expression of shock on his face as he was surprised and fearful because of Tony's countenance."Hey man, what's up?" Collins questioned as he instantly discarded his system and sat upright, his whole attention was laced to Tony's face and body language."You don't look too good, how was it?" Collins asked further, his eyes worrisome and his whole body tensed also. He was bothered that things didn't go as far as planned there was a serious issue and probably things had worsened."I'm so pissed off Collins, my mind isn't at rest and I don't know where to base my anger," Tony responded with anger and sadness.

His heart was stomping hard on his chest and the lump was heavy on his throat as the weight of the question lingered."I haven't thought of that," Tony said with sincerity swimming in his eyes, his uncertainty about the question was palpable."What do you mean? The kidnapper said you should ask your father, there might be a connection," Collins countered with confidence evident in his tone. He couldn't believe Tony wasn't considering speaking to his father. He knew he was hurt but according to fact, all connected dots lead to his father."And that's why I'm pissed off, Collins. A man I never knew or even had any relationship with, all of a
