His parents were wealthy and all of that was not a problem for him to accomplish, they just had to leave for the airport as early as possible. Obviously they needed to sneak into his family's estate and use one of the vehicles just like they did a few days ago. This time Henry wanted to be the one taking care of everything, he wanted Nicole's journey to be as smooth as possible, that was the least he could do since he was not coming along.Just before the break of dawn, it was about 5 O'clock in the morning and they had already started going to the airport.It was just a few minutes drive from their current location, and they had only left that early to avoid any eyes from seeing them. Henry had successfully hidden Nicole from the other members of his family for many weeks, and not even one person suspected any thing."phew!" Henry exclaimed, "

Once she switched on the device, she called the number Henry had saved into her phone, that was the only means to get across to him.~~~It was unlike Peter, he had not stepped out of the house since morning. He'd normally spend most of his time in the cabin for a reason best
