That very evening
At the Lyon family mansion. .

The Lyons had gathered together with an aim of brainstorming towards the hope of finding Prince.

It is a sad, sad evening. Funny, because today was supposed to be good. It was supposed to be great after such successful concert which Cookie and Lucious partnered Peacefully on, for weeks! They were finally finding a possible working ground for their partnership for the sake of their family, their relationship and of course, for the empire. (& Bossy?)

It was finally coming to pass, every plan coming together. Then out of the blue, their grandson goes missing, I swear they just never catch a break. Never a break for them..

"Y'all can go to bed. thirsty is on to this. Go to bed" Lucious told the boys and Tiana. "I'm not going anywhere until we find my son!" Hakeem snapped. He was frustrated, that's for sure. "Son, thirsty and I will look for him and we shall find him. You need to rest, we have a crazy week ahead of us, you gonna need all the rest in the damn world" Lucious told him.

"I don't care how the week looks like for the Lyons, my son is missing and all you care about is your damn bowl y'all are planing for your boujie ass investors okay?! I need my son to come home safe" Hakeem said.
"Boy..." Cookie snapped but tried her best to contain herself, she gotta understand what her son is going through right about now. Anger and frustration got the very best of him.

Cookie looked at Tiana for a little help. She gave Tiana a face that spoke volume of her emotions.

"Uh babe, please calm down, everybody in this room, in the whole house is here to help us find Our son, please calm down babe" Tiana begged.
Hakeem stormed out of the room, Tiana matched after him.
Everybody cleared the room.

It was now Just the two of them in the room while thirsty was making a call pacing around the passage. .
Cookie huffed then rubbed her temples.
"You too!"
"I beg your pardon?!" She lashed out, ready to chew him alive. "I'm not going anywhere Lucious, not until we have a lead. No sleep for me." She said boldly.
Lucious swallowed hard.
"So any genius Idea Lucious? Do you have anything at All?" She asked. Lucious didn't answer, he was not about to sounds and look weak to his wife admitting that he had no lead, no idea where Prince could be, no genius idea. He had NOTHING! unlike Lucious right?!

"Lucious don't just stand there, tell me something, say something positive" she raised her voice. "We will find him!" He told her basically stating.
"I promise you Cook, we shall find our grandson if is the last think I do." Lucious said

She looked at him, hope was there, she nodded.
He walked closer and sat on the armchair and embraced her.

"The redhead. Something strange about that girl. I will hire her and watch her like a holk, I need to know what that haffer is up to but I can already bet on Empire that it ain't anything good. And her voice creeps in so irritatedly to my ears I swear it is like I've heard it somewhere before. Something ain't right with that little bitch. Something ain't right" Cookie said grinding in her own thoughts.

"Mr and Mrs Lyon, you have a guest" Juanita said snapping them both out of their thoughts.

"At this hour, who the hell is it?" Cookie asked. "She has a surprise for y'all" Juanita said. They looked at each other not fully comprehending.
"Juanita, please let them in!" Lucious said.

Valentine walked in holding Prince's hand. Cookie Gasped. "my grandbaby!" She muttered. Prince ran into her open arms. "oh baby. Are you okay, did anybody touch you?" Cookie asked. He shook his head. "No grandma!" He said. "okay honey. Your mom and daddy are both here, go to their room, they will be happy to see you!" Cookie said dismissing the boy. He rushed out.
