"I am fine Jake, I wasn't being followed," I said. "Alright then, that was crazy what you did," He said. I then turned to see his Dad Henry in the sitting room.

"Hello Herny," I said moving towards him and hugging him.

I could see that he was also concerned about my well-being. "I am sorry about everything that you are going through," Henry said.

"No don't be, Henry," I said and sat opposite the lounge he was sitting on.

I knew that I was taking a deep risk by making such moves. "Jake, I don't want either you or Henry to get hurt at all," I said facing Jake.
