Chapter 35: Thirty-four

"You think? Can you be more formal please?" Daniel was first to speak up. "If you know then quit beating around the bush."

"I tried calling her yesterday way before I heard the news about her kidnapping."

"Well, did she pick up?"

Clara hesitated. "I mean she did pick up but it was like she didn't even know that she did," Clara looked at the worried family. "I think she dropped her phone or something because I heard a crash then the line went dead."

The whole family almost gave out worried sighs. Daniel combed his hair in frustration for the nth time that day.

"But, I have a friend. He was our high school friend, he majored in information technology and he was able to help me out last night. Though it cost me alot." Clara told them.

"Well how much do you want then? A million?" Daniel frowned.

"If I wanted money first, I wouldn't have told you a lot before hand Daniel. She's my cousin Daniel and I would do anything for her." Clara said.
