“Sick?”

“Yeah.” Titus nodded. “Tina must have told you before that she had a sister, right?”

Toby gave a hum of acknowledgment.

At this point, Titus’ face twisted with strong hatred. “Her sister was called Rina; she was our first born daughter. When she was still very young, she was kidnapped. We reported it to the police, but that angered the kidnapper, and he drowned Rina to death. From that point forward, Julia’s mental state was unstable, until…” His eyes flashed. “Until Tina was born. With that bit of comfort, Julia started to get better. But now, Tina has been kidnapped, and Julia is relapsing for the first time in twenty years.”

 

Toby subtly lifted his chin and understood everything. Julia was worried that if they reported Tina’s disappearance to the police now, the kidnapper would also be angered and kill Tina outright.

“If that’s the case, let me get in contact with a security company and hire a team to save her.”

As Toby suggested, he lifted his phone to make a call, but someone’s phone rang once again. This time, it was Titus’.

Letting go of Julia, Titus picked up his cell phone. A mysterious number was flashing onscreen. It didn’t even say which city the call was originating from. After hesitating for a few seconds, Titus finally answered, “This is Titus Gray.”

“I hear you’re looking for me,” the man at the other end of the line said breezily, yet, coldly.
