The call got through before long. Daniel told Adam, “Dad, we have decided on Lacey's coming of age ceremony. It will be held at the Grand Millenium Hotel.”
“Do you want me to pick you and Jeremy up, or are you guys going to drop by on your own?”

Daniel felt apprehensive all of a sudden. “What? Dad, you're Lacey's grandfather and the representative of the seniors of the Hinton family! You have to be here!”
“What can possibly be more important than Lacey's coming of age ceremony?”
Adam told Daniel, “Madeleine is holding a banquet for those from Reinz Pharmaceutical and has specified our participation.”
“Reinz Pharmaceutical and Madeleine are related to the militants. We can't afford to offend them. Hence, we have to attend the banquet.”
