I really appreciate it!” He expressed his joy.

Grey nodded severally. “Someone from Alfred is going to come looking for me, lead the guy in when he arrives.”

The manager nodded.” I will do that. Is there anything else you want?”

“Yes,” Grey nodded and moved to sit. “I‘m famished. So, just find me something great to eat. Also, will you help me to get something from the car?”

The manager laughed.” Mr. Grey, you can send me anywhere and I will gladly go. If it wasn‘t for you, I would be sacked already.”

Grey saw that he was really appreciative and didn‘t regret forgiving him.

“Is everything alright over there?” He inquired. “Are my workers treating you nice?”

Grey smiled. “Fine, Alfred. I‘ve settled already.”

Don doesn‘t have my contact, so I wonder how his man got my contact,” he expressed his surprise.” Anyways, he wanted me to pay for his hospital bills and I have. He said someone told him to come to me for it and I kept thinking it could be you.”

Grey nodded severally, as he remembered his encounter. His men needed him.

“You were right. I sent him after beating him up. Though, he didn‘t know I‘m Hercules. I only told him to come to you.”
