“Hello.”

“Dante.”

“My love, are you home now?”

“Yes,” she drawled.

“Are you okay? You sound unwell.”

“I don’t know how I am feeling.”

“What’s going on?”

“I have a bad headache, my tummy is assualted by terrible cramps, my throat is patched, I can hardly move, I am losing strength,” she sobbed.

“Go to the hospital, fast!”

“I can’t.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“I am locked in my own room. I don’t know where my keys are.”

“What the…”

“Dante, I don’t feel good.”

“Oh God! Who is home?”

“Everybody.”

“Call someone.”

“Their phones are switched off.”

“What’s really going on?”

“Today is my younger sister’s introduction ceremony.”

“My goodness! I am sure that they didn’t tell you.”

“They didn’t.”

“I am sure that one of them locked you up.”

“I think my younger sister is the culprit.”

“The little witch!”

“Dante!”

“Sorry. I am freaking out right now. Who else can you call?”

A thought crossed her mind, “Our security guard.”

“Perfect.”

She hung up and dialed the guard’s number.
