Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 669 - Out of town
...***...
"Om, tan, can't we ask for help?" Meredith stared at Cato and Dorothy in turn. He seemed hesitant to say his purpose was to get them to talk like they are today.
"As long as we can help, we'll help." Dorothy replied with great gentleness.
"What can we help you with?" This time it was Cato's turn to ask. The man looked at her with a confused face.
"Look, we have to go attend another seminar. But the seminar was a bit long, and it was out of town. We are afraid that we will not be able to take care of Lucia, so we want to ask for help... Please keep Lucy for us." Meredith explains her purpose.
"When is the seminar, and how long?"
"Next week, and Monday we should have left immediately. For the seminar itself maybe about two weeks, because there is more than one seminar that we have to attend." The man who became Meredith's husband added.
"So it seems..." Cato fell silent as he nodded his head slowly, responding to his sentence. "Then there's no need to worry. We'll take care of Lucia for you."
"Really?" Meredith doesn't believe it. Cato and Dorothy just nodded her head slowly in response. Meredith who heard that was very grateful that Cato and Dorothy were willing to help her, she and her husband really felt helped.

"It's all."
"Thank God, then be careful on the road."
"Yes, we're saying goodbye!" Meredith. Not to forget she also hugged and kissed Lucia before leaving. Meredith had asked her daughter for permission to leave for a few days. Gently, he tried to give understanding to his little daughter. At first, Lucy refuses and cries when Meredith says she has to leave. But after persuading his ray, finally Lucia was willing to understand and wanted to wait at Cato's house along with Derek and Joe.
After saying goodbye, the car they were riding in slowly came out of the yard of his house. Cato and the others fell silent while waving at him which continued to pass until finally his car disappeared as it got further away.
After Meredith and her husband, Dorothy invites Cato to enter the house. Now only the three of them remained who had yet to leave.
Today Dorothy entered a little afternoon into her workplace, so she could be with Lucia for a while. While Cato today has no plans. He had no intention of meeting his two comrades until their situation and their plan was completely ready to be put into operation.
Dorothy had already stepped inside the house, while Cato, who was walking behind her, suddenly stopped as her phone rang, signaling a call from someone.
Cato reached into the item in his pants pocket, then checked who had just tried to contact him. As soon as he saw the name of the contact listed there, Cato rushed to a quieter place to receive it. Cato didn't want to until someone heard their talk.
"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you that I can't come today?" cato said with a slight whisper. He is now in the garden next to his house. Standing by a shady tree that was there.
