Chapter 4

Cadbury along with Mr. and Mrs.'s Rich were down stairs and in the vehicle as the phone call was abruptly ended, the butler had convinced the limousine driver to allow himself to drive the family and had informed them not to bother a still sleeping Richie upstairs.

"Do you think he's alright?" Asks Regina as the limo begins to drive out of the long driveway

"For Van Dough's sake, Richie better not have a single scratch." Growls Richard in response to his wife's question, he'd had a feeling Dough would choose that specific diner to have their meeting, no one knew the history that was behind the place but them, that diner was where Richard and Van had first discussed the creation of Rich Inc.

Now it was being used as the drop off for his son's kidnapper, he considered this man to have been one of his best friends and workers, but he'd betrayed him and his family, he attempted killing them and now he had taken Richie.

Regina noticed how her husband's body suddenly became more tense, his eyes hardened and his gaze remained outside the window, what was going on? "Richard dear, is everything alright?"

Richard turns to lock eyes with his wife, all his anger dissipates upon sight of her longing look, he'd never seen her look so afraid "Everything's fine my love, I'm just worried about our son."

Regina nods her head, but still isn't completely convinced that's all her husband was thinking about, but right now all that mattered to her was Richie and bringing him back home safe.

Cadbury glances from the couple and back to the road in rhythms, he too could tell there was something else distressing the elder Rich, but much like Regina, he had to focus on Richie. That poor boy was innocent and the nicest child you would ever meet, he'd been born into the rich lifestyle and still the boy had not become a brat.

He knew there would never be another child like him; that Richie Rich was one of a kind and that if anything were to happen to the boy, he'd never forgive himself. "Almost there Sir and madam" The grieving parent's eyes lift at his statement and the butler himself presses the gas pedal harder.
