“It was Rex’s. Got destroyed after an incident.”

“Oh, I guess that’s why… but as for the date, it’s-”

“7th of October..” Maverick answered instead.

“That’s right. That year should be 2014” Jeslyn replied.

Maverick remained silent after hearing that. Then a while later, he spoke but his voice was deep like he was in pain. “I’ll find it out for you.”
