Rowland paced about in his room as different thoughts of escape passed through his mind. He has to leave this room. He needs to meet Cassy tonight as he had promised to watch the stars with her. He remembered her happy face when he promised her.
Rowland took out his phone to call his friend, Della. He was glad his father did not collect his phone too. The last time he was grounded, his father took his phone and even canceled all his sporting lessons.
"Hey buddy, I need your help," Rowland said as his friend picked up.
"Row, the last time I helped you on the Doctor Ken case, my father collected my card. Please don't tell me we're going for another investigation" Della said in a pleading tone.
"We are not. But I need your help with something that might… require you to steal from your dad" Rowland said.
"I am out…I am out…I am out…" Della kept chanting.
