Grey threw the gun away as he proceeded toward the car. He entered and drove out.
The elders stared behind him, bothered but skeptical.
“This has something to do with Leo, right?” Gregory inquired softly. His question was aimed at Charles but he didn’t answer him. “I just asked a question, Charles!” His deep voice matched the same time that Grey used earlier.
“Don’t ask me. Hercules already said he would explain but yes, it has to do with the foolish man I call my father,” Charles mentioned.
The others could only stare. It was at that moment they realized it was something very huge and they wondered when Hercules would come back.
“What do we do about Hercules?” Luciano demanded.
* I fear whatever is eating him is something very huge. We seriously need to make him talk sooner.” Gregory advised.
Alfred nodded briefly. “We need to call Aphrodite. She’s the only one that can talk to Grey,” he suggested.
Richard was even too shocked to say a word. He had never seen Grey behave so violently. He had almost stopped breathing, thinking Grey would actually pull the trigger at Charles.
“You all can retire to your various rooms. Leo would be with me until Hercules decides otherwise,” Alfred announced.
They all nodded, agreeing with him.
But, Richard had another plan within. Caramel was someone Grey cherished and he knew that she would help to elevate Grey’s mood.
Grey drove for some minutes, his mind in a kind of dark tunnel and he was seriously struggling to find the light
He pulled up in front of a salon. He realized he needed to change his style before he meet with Caramel on Monday.
“Welcome,” the stylist gestured to a seat “What style would you want?”
Grey still had this dark frown on his face “Change it anyhow you see fit I don’t want a long process because I have to leave very soon.”
The woman nodded briefly, though noticing that her customer was in a bad mood. She went straight to
business
It didn’t take long before he was done. He made a transfer of the money because he had the Hercules card with him and he didn’t want anyone to know who he was.
The drive back home was done absentmindedly. He had a lot on his mind and he didn’t even know how he was supposed to put it off.
Charles knew something that he didn’t know. And the fact that he was finding it difficult to say it out, also mean something
As much as Grey was scared of finding out, he desperately wanted to know it all. If Leo didn’t die with his father? How come the elders didn’t know about him? How come Grey disappeared and no one knew
about him? Just how come Leo allegedly died in a house explosion? The pieces were not compatible and he knew that he still needed to make Charles talk.
But at that moment, he felt very stuffy and he had to just release the tension. By the next day, he would be ready for the next thing.
The moment he entered the living room, he heard some clinking sounds and concluded it was probably Beatrice making dinner.
