"Naomi." The guy said, "I raised you. I'm your old man, so you should be caring for me. I was in the hospital, and you didn't visit. You sent Leo instead. Are you trying to ditch me? If you push me, I'm capable of camping out in front of City Hall, letting everyone see how the Mayor's wife treats her own father."
