VINCE HAD TO FORMULATE A PLAN QUICKLY

VINCE HAD TO FORMULATE A PLAN QUICKLY

As the other members of the family leave to go to their rooms, Myles and Richard went to check on their dad, they know he was worried and he was crying before Charles and Michael helped him to his room.

Entering his room softly they didn't want to knock next thing he was resting and they didn't want to disturb his rest. Seeing him sitting on his bed reading the bible. "Dad, how are you keeping up?" Richard asked.

"Son, is there any news of the children?" Myles notices how anxious he was, being afraid he might collapse if he gets any bad news. 'Dad Vince was home but we have no word of Sidney, but don't worry, Charles said he will go to the station in the morning to quarry."

"Thanks, Son, all I have to do is just keep praying she will be safe I know she can take care of herself and her brother and sister are police so they will inform us if anything comes up.

Both realize are trying to take comfort in those words. "Good night dad try and get rest, you know that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning."

"I know son and good night, all will be well, I have to believe that God will keep her safe."

In Vince's room, he calls Jeff and told him he has found her and that she is okay and resting. Calling Caroline to hear if her mom was awake, hearing yes he ask to speak with her. When she said, "Good night son."

"Night mom, I am just calling to know how you are doing?"

When she said, "Son, is my Sidney all right?"

"Mom she is fine, I just want you to know she won't be coming out for a few days, also she said she will call you, mom I need you not to tell Haley, is that okay?"

"Is something going on son, you are making me worried?"

"I will visit you soon and I don't you to worry or panic when I come over I will explain everything, just know she is okay, good night mom." Vince took his bath and then lies down, closing his eyes as the memories just flooded back to that special time they had spent together.

Knowing all that he has to do as he formulates ways he will have to adjust himself to spend time with her. Also, he has to get supplies to her just in case he is kept back in getting her meals to her on time so she will have something to nibble on to keep her up.

The days passed slowly and no word came of Sidney's whereabouts, and the family became worried not only for Sidney, but their concern was for GP. He becomes weaker because he wasn't eating properly.

Vince was the one who decided not to inform anyone about Sidney, and his act of disappointment continue.

Coming home from work that first Friday, seeing how frail GP has become, Vince took it upon himself to make an exception only for his grandfather.

Before dinner, he took his grandfather for a walk away from everyone and explain what he had done. "I am sorry GP, but I was left with no choice seeing that Chrystal was not going to leave us alone.

For right now I don't want you to go to her, because you will be putting her life in danger."

"Son, what about her business, who will see about it? I am sure her family is worried."

"GP, I have spoken to her Mom and I told Haley she has gone away on business, please don't worry I will speak to Jeff and Georgia and hear how much they are still owing to the contractor and if it means I will have to clear it out then I will do it. GP, no one must know she is using her funds."

Hugging him, "Thank you, my Son, I am happy to hear my child is safe." It wasn't long after things started to be too strenuous for Vince alone, because Chrystal visited more often. Vince spoke to Charles for his assistance with the helping of her meals.

Weeks have turned into months, and then Vince became concerned, Chrystal seems to take it to heart that Sidney and I are no longer together so she keeps visiting more regularly. Ignoring her was not working, it was as if she was seeing through my pretense

Sidney on the other hand seems to be very comfortable and satisfied staying in the room, but her face was becoming pale.

Vince thought he must get Chrystal completely out of the house or he will have to take Sidney away. He constantly joins the family for dinner, and Vince can only visit Sidney late in the night or very early before anyone is up.

GP, on the other hand, chooses days when the ladies go into town and send Michael with Molly to get the household items, and then he visits her.

Slone notices Vince's restlessness and he knew something was bothering him, informs him that he had some business to discuss then slowly went into the study, and sits down.

Vince sees how curious Chrystal became when GP said those words to him, before he attempts to leave, he signals Charles to keep his eyes on Chrystal, and then he left to speak to GP

Knowing GP choose the study because it was soundproof he enters and lock the door behind him. When GP asked what was bothering him he related his concerns about Sidney's pregnancy and that he plans to take Sidney and leave.

Hearing GP saying to give him a few days to come up with a solution, Slone knows if they leave him, he may never see them again and he was not willing to take that chance.

Around the dinner table, Charles heard when Chrystal said her excuse, thinking she was going to her room but she heads towards the study.
