He told Claire to cancel all his appointments for the day and he left. He got home, went to his room and stripped down to his briefs pulling on a black pair of joggers he went to his gym downstairs and punch the shit out of the punching bag as he let his thoughts run through his head, haywire.

He couldn’t do anything to change the past. What’s done was done. All he could do was look for his daughter, by all means necessary.

"I need you to look for someone for me, Tom" He told him.

Tom stayed silent on the other end of the line.

"Any detail about this person?" He asked.

"I'm the only family she has." Ceaser said as if that would help Tom find her.

"Okay. What do you know about this girl...or woman?" He asked clearly hopeless.

"Today's her birthday...and she's my daughter."
