Chapter 67

Clara had slung her bag onto her shoulder full force and her tall heels were making loud noises on the floor as she rushed to the door.

"I'm coming to pick you up."

There was a confused pause on grandfather's end.

"What?"

"I'm coming to pick you up, Grandpa."

"Wha- me?"

"Yes, you." Clara swung the large door open herself and stepped out, her security personnel rushing to aid her.

She waved them away before motioning to one to bring her car out to the front.

"I need to see you, grandpa. You're safe with me." 

There was another long silence on the phone as Clara Kane walked swiftly to the elevator at the very end of the corridor. Her attendants flew forward to press the button and several others rushed down to make other arrangements.

Grandfather was still on the phone, "Of course I am."

Clara knew there was a smile on his face.

"I can't wait to see you, my little angel."
