Brax's Place

Charlie's POV

My phone began to ring I looked around to see everyone's face and wondering if my facial

expression looked like theirs. More cops have arrived. What if Ruby is hurt or even worse.

"Charlie, you can answer it now. Everything's connected," said Watson, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I tapped the green answer button without heisitating. It felt like an hour while it was connecting.

Then there I saw Ruby's face. She looked so pale and fragile, I was caught in the moment, speechless.

"Mum," I heard Ruby's frail voice say.

"I'm here,"I replied.

She has barely called me mum since she found out I was her mother. A man appeared n front of the camera. He looked young, but a bit older than Ruby.

"Hi. I haven't truly introduced myself yet." The man spoke, "I'm Grant Jr. Does that name ring a bell?

I am in utter shock. I see his face and realized his features and voice are familiar.

"Oh my gosh."

"You know him," Brax said confused,but I couldn't reply.
