Marshall came home from work with Khalid at noon. He took Khalid’s car.
Khalid’s cellphone rang when the car was halfway there.
At that time, the cellphone was placed in the storage compartment between the driver and co-driver.
Marshall picked up the cellphone and saw it at a glance. It showed Tomas.
Marshall was not surprised. After all, the two families had cooperation and communication. It was normal to call each other.
He helped answer the phone and pressed hands-free.
Khalid just gave a glance, and then he said, “Hello.”
Tomas said over there, “Khalid, are you busy now?”
Khalid’s voice was with a smile, “I'm not busy. I’m off duty.”
“Good,” Tomas did not say anything about work. He just asked Khalid if he had time in the evening. He wanted to ask him for dinner.
Khalid was obviously a bit surprised. He laughed, “What’s the matter? Is there any problem with our work?”
Tomas hurriedly explained over there, “No, no problem. I just think that we haven’t seen each other for a long time. I would like to invite you for dinner.”
Since Tomas said in this way, Khalid felt that he couldn’t refuse him no matter whether there was something important or not.
So he readily agreed, “Okay, you decide the time.”
Tomas didn’t fix the time and place immediately. He only said he will inform Khalid later.
Then the call hung up.
Marshall turned to look at Khalid, “It seems that he only invited you and didn’t say anything about others. Maybe he is going to say something to you at the dinner table.”
Khalid was also a little confused.
He thought for a while before he said, “Let's see it then. Anyway, I can’t think of anything to say between him and me.”
Because of the entanglements between Katherine Clara and Marshall, the relationship between Khalid and Tomas was also a little awkward.
They hadn’t seen each other in private for a long time.
Even some work handovers were assigned to their assistants.
Then Marshall and Khalid went back home.
Katherine was not at home.
Grandma sat alone on the couch in the living room, listening to the music. When she saw the Marshall and Khalid coming back, she just glanced at them from the corners of her eyes.
Marshall thought Katherine was upstairs, so he wanted to go up to have a look.
Grandma said slowly, “Don’t go upstairs, Kathy went out.”
Marshall was surprised, “She went out? What did she go out for? Did she go out alone?”
Grandma didn’t know it very well. She said, “Kathy left in a hurry. She said that it was Kyle who called her and asked her to help.”
Grandma leaned on the couch, “But when Kathy left, she told me that there is nothing serious to worry about.”
Marshall frowned.
Kyle had accidents quite often, either big or small. So when he called Katherine over, Marshall was really worried.
So he turned and went out of the living room, stood in the open space in front of the main building and called Katherine directly.
For the first time, Katherine did not answer at all.
Marshall was a little worried and immediately called for the second time.
This time the phone rang for a long time, and Katherine finally answered it.
It sounded a little noisy over there.
Marshall asked her directly where she was.
Katherine sighed, “I’m in the police station. There’s something wrong with Kyle. I’ll pay the bail and get him out.”
