I yawned and said with a smile, "I'm in Whaldorf City. How are you and your child?"
Susan hummed and fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "I need your help."
This was her first time seeking my help, which surprised me. I asked her with concern, "What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"
"Something happened in the Schumans lately and Tyler has been looking for help. He doesn't want you to help him, but I want to do something for him. That's why I'm calling to ask for your help. Can you help Carlson out by seeking connections and asking how he's doing?"
Her words startled me.
I sat up from the bed and anxiously asked," What happened to the Schumans? Tell me in detail."
"Someone reported Carlson saying that he gave Tyler privileges to do illegal things. Carlson has always been taken away to be investigated, and it's been three days with no news. Tyler has been asking around but hasn't heard anything.
"Wanda, I'm sure Carlson knows a lot of people since he’s been in Whaldorf City for so many years. Can you please ask around for me?"
"Don't panic first, Susan. I’ll ask my dad to help out. Are you home alone now?"
"My baby and I are at home."
"Can you contact Tyler right now?" "I haven't been able to contact him.
Susan's voice quavered, sounding like she was about to cry. "I've called him many times, but it just won’t go through."
I quickly pacified her emotions. "Don't panic. I'll call my dad right now."
