"Things are getting out of control.what's your take on it?".
The voice belongs to an old man in a room that looked like a mini office.he was talking to another man who was obviously younger than him.
"Pardon me sir".Their relationship status was obvious as the younger man's head was bowed slightly as he answered.
"No need for all those pleasantries.i asked you a question which I expect an honest answer from you".said the old man."you acting like this reminds me of my son".the old man sighs."since you are unwilling to answery question,at least give me an update on what I had asked for".
"Currently your son has met with both miss jade and miss elina sir".he answered again bowing.
"That's mean he's getting closer to finding out".the old man said."what about them?".
"They haven't made a move yet sir".
"Keep an eye on them.i don't trust them,they must have something planned".the old man said."I know their eyes are on my son which is why I need you and your men to watch and protect him without him knowing".
"Yes sir".
The old man was about to dimiss him but got reminded of something."As for those two ladies, protect them too".
"Yes sir".
"Maybe I can win some points from my son for protecting them.i am tired of being labelled a bad father".the old man said his voice becoming a bit soft."also pass me my phone".
He watched as his secretary brought his from the table to him.
"Dial my son's number".he said.
Just as the secretary was about to do so,the phone rang.
"Who is calling?".
A look of shock appeared on the sectary's face as he stared at the phone screen.
Noticing the reaction,the old man asked."Who is it calling that's making you this surprised?".
"Y-your son sir".
"What?!".the old man almost got an heart attack."give it to me".he hurriedly picks the call.
"Hello son".he was excited but the excitement soon got down as he heard no one speak."son?.are you there?".
~Dad~
"For a moment,I thought you hung up son".he said.
~i didn't~
"Why are you saying little to me?.you calling was a mistake?".
~No~
"Then why?".
~Dad~
"Yes son".
~I never thought that I could ask you this but I need your help dad.will you help me?~
The old man was silent thinking of the best word to say.from the little things he knew about his son assured him that his son wasn't asking for help instead he was demanding for help.
~Dad~
"This-".the old man sighs.he could be domineering to the others but not his son."do you think this is fair logan?".asked logan's father."calling me like this after so many years of leaving home and not speaking to me?".
~You know why I left home and haven't gone back.don't make an issue on that.
"Will you come back home if I help you?". logan's father asked.there was not much to ask for other than that.
~You are negotiating with me?.when I clearly said I needed your help?~
"You left me no other choice.don't you miss home?.what about your mother?. have you forgotten about her?. don't you miss her?".
~That's not the point dad!.you know who's fault it is I left home,just as now,I was left with no choice either ~
"You still blame me for what happened to elina, don't you?".
~Are you helping me or not?~
The old man could see that his son wasn't wasn't willing to talk to him about that day so he had no choice but to hold his silence."tell me.what kind of help do you want from me?".
~I want to make use of your influence to find something out~
"You have Jordan so why not ask him?".
~It's too dangerous for him.i know he will be able to do it but I don't want to put him in harm's way.~
"But I can be put in harm's way?".there was a bit of sorrow in logan's dad voice as he said this.
~I know that your secretary isn't an ordinary one.~
"I see you did your findings".the old man sighs."I will help you".
~Thank you Dad~
"Don't just thank me.i did it not just for you but for myself as well". logan's father said.
He would do anything for his son as he didn't want to be a bad father.he had already played the bad father role once and once was enough.
"Even if you won't come home at least you can call right?".he seemed hopeful.
~I will call home more than I used to.~
"You don't call at all".his father said.
~I promise to start calling.~
"Alright.take care son".
~you too dad.~with that the line dropped.
"You heard our discussion right?". logan's father asked side glancing at his secretary."
"Yes sir".
"Help him with everything he asks for".
"Everything?".
"Yes.he finally asked for help after so many years of no contact"the old man said."although am a bit hurt that his first call to me after so many years was to ask for help.am glad he called".
"I understand sir".
