“What are you doing here? Damn, I should be the one asking you that!” Grey snapped.
Tiana shook her head slightly. “Nothing, I,” she pulled to a stop suddenly and went on her knees. “Please, forgive me. He was going to make me do things that I don’t want. That was why I had to drug him. I didn’t kill him and he’s alive!” She rattled off.
Grey regarded her for a moment before he moved closer.” Tell me then why you are trying to find out what Hercules looks like.”
Tiana opened her mouth wider in shock, as an acknowledgment of a tactical error.
Grey crouched in front of her. “Do you know what I love? I love when people tell me the truth immediately. I don’t like to stress over it,” he expressed in a thick voice that Tiana’s heart started beating faster.
She shook her head negatively. “I didn’t do anything wrong, I swear! I didn’t try to find out who Hercules really was. I was_,” she was forced to a stop as Grey hit her neck slightly. She dropped to the floor unconscious.
Philip’s phone rang suddenly. Grey got up and moved closer to him. He took the phone from his pocket and stared at the name on the screen for a moment before he picked it up.
“Hey, Philip! You better tell me you have the videos now! I will not take it easy if you miss this opportunity again. You can even get the truth from Charles,” the voice stopped for a moment. “Hello! Hello!”
Grey’s head spun even harder. What was happening? Was this also about who Hercules was? “What truth are you talking about?”
There was a few seconds of silence. “Who’s this? And why are you with Philip’s phone?”
This is Hercules,” Grey announced.
“What! You are the Hercules!” Philip voiced out from behind him.
Grey looked back at Hercules, realizing he was awake. Though, he didn’t know how long he had been listening.
His eyes went wide with shock but it only lasted for a few seconds as he got up and made a run for it. He ran back outside.
Grey ran after him. Though he didn’t hang up and the caller didn’t hang up either. He could. have heard Philip the other time and was waiting for the results.
“Boss! What’s happening?” Richard asked suddenly.
Grey stared at Richard for a moment, then slowly at Charles. Charles caught Philip already. Philip wouldn’t have taken the way if he knew people were waiting outside for him.
“Why are you running?” Charles yelled at Philip but he didn’t reply.
Grey huffed and brought forth the phone only to discover it was still on.
“Grey,” Charles started but Grey cut him off quickly before he revealed more about him.
“It looks like there’s someone here that wants to know who Hercules really is,” Grey hinted and stared down at the phone in his hand.
Charles moved nearer while dragging Philip with him. “What?” He couldn’t believe it until he had seen the minutes reads on the phone.
“Where’s Philip?” The voice asked.
