VINCE BECAME CONCERN

Vince thought if he called a few of his friends quarrying about Gilbert it will help, hoping to hear something to get her attention. But nothing was working in my favour, though matter what I tried.'

He also recalled overhearing her speaking to GP about James a few days ago, about the wedding invitation.

In his heart, he was ever more convinced she was doing her own investigation and not depending solely on Inspector Albert or anyone else.

From what he gathered from the conversation, the invitation to the wedding was a mystery, no one seems to know where Gilbert gets the invitation, or how he was aware of our wedding.

I don't know if he knew about us getting married before or after we met at the palace?'

It was the half of August already, Vince had just reached home from work after a long and tedious day,

Having to attend to the problem at the garage when he heard two of the delivery trucks that were needed to run a long-distance delivery, the next day wasn't in working condition.

Having no available truck as large as those two, Vince had to ensure that it was ready to be on the road for the next day, jump high jump low it is no in between.

He knows sometimes to get a job done, he couldn't depend on the two boys so he had to stick around by the garage to ensure that there was no slacking off. Having no choice Vince works in the office by the garage, also, he had to ensure the delivery man was available to run and get whatever parts were needed.

Or the other departments have him running their personal errands and keeping back the mechanic when he needs parts.

Thinking about it now, 'It was just like the time Sidney and I were going on that trip when Miss Gloria had to call me at five in the morning when the driver came and the truck was giving problem, then my car was crushed having a mechanical problem.'

Having left the garage after six well satisfied knowing that everything was up to the max. Now he tries to simmer down as he thought.

'Well, I must thank God I have no plans of going anywhere for the evening, I am too fatigued and need to get some sleep. The guys will have to do without me for this gig at the club tonight,'

Vince rested his briefcase down on the centre table near his bed seeing the breakfast tray still sitting right where he left it.

Vince pulls out his tie and undresses then lies down on the bed for a few minutes. He felt such exhaustion that he just wanted to close his eyes and sleep.

The thought of food didn't interest him at this time, but if only he could get a piping hot cup of tea that will suit him just fine.

With that thought in mind, he closes his eyes for just five minutes thinking Sidney was working in the closet room.

When he opened his eyes then crawled out of the bed and enters the closet room because the door was open, but it was empty and she wasn't anywhere to be found. Her table where she does her work was neat just as he left this morning.

Vince ignores that and went to take a long warm bath hoping it will help relax his muscles and relieve all the tension and stress he had encountered during the day.

Feeling rejuvenated and more at ease, he towels dry himself then changed into casual clothing, as he went to check and see if she was in the kitchen helping Molly.

Hearing Molly didn't see her, he went to the back by the pool house where she usually spends her quiet time when she is not working.

When he returns to the room he realized her briefcase was not in the room. Vince still wasn't worried but he hurry down the stairs knowing that if no one sees her, she at least visits GP when she returns from work.

Seeing the door open he calls out to GP and then enters. "Son, you are home has the child come with you, it is already late and I haven't seen her, did she visit her mom?"

Feeling all the blood drains from his face, when his grandfather asks, "Son, what is the matter? you look white as a sheet?"

Vince's body run hot then cold, "GP, I thought Sidney was home, let me call her sister, maybe she went and forget to mention it." Hurrying out of the room he called Georgia seeing it was already half eight.

When he gets no answer he calls Caroline's phone, but then his phone ring, seeing it was Haley. Vince answered immediately only to hear her crying, "Honey, what is wrong, talk to Bil."

But she continues to cry, when Carolina took the phone from her, "Bil, let me talk to Sidney, this child had a bad dream and she keeps saying that Sid was in a car accident."

"How long ago did that happen?" Vince felt like his heart began to tremble only hearing that.

When Caroline said, "She woke up about half an hour ago, and she has been crying nonstop, so get Sid so she will stop for God's sake."

"Caroline, I now return from the office about half an hour ago and Sidney hasn't returned home from work, that was why I was calling to know if she was visiting. If you check your phone you will see I was just calling to know if she was there."

"Bil, I will call back." Caroline hurried and calls Jeff to quarry if they heard anything about any car accident.

Hearing when he leave work he heard nothing. Calling George only to hear the same report. Wanting to call Bil but hearing mom speaking to Haley she went to help.

Vince hurry and pulls on his black jacket over the cream turtle neck jersey and his black pants. Slipping his feet on his shoes once more before rushing out of his room and then out of the house with the keys in his hand.
