ROTIMI'S POV

This morning I made some pancakes, eggs, and bacon. While I'm eating and watching tv, I still can't seem to wrap my head around everything that Natalie said last night. Part of me hopes that she's lying... and it's not like I can talk to Mac—well, Nathan—about it because what if she's not lying. I wouldn't want to give him the advantage of knowing that we're on to him.

As I flip through the channels, I hear my phone go off. Someone is calling. I reach over to grab my phone and I almost choke when I see who's calling. It's Alonso.

"Hey.. uh, what's up?" I say, wondering what he's going to say.

"Hey, Ro. You busy?" He asks.

"Not really.. just eating. Why?"

"We need to talk. Meet in at Washington Park in... 30 minutes?" He says.

"Yeah, sure. 30 minutes is fine."

"Cool. See you then."

Alonso hangs up before I can even think to ask any questions. I hold my phone in my hand and stare off into space for a few seconds before placing the phone down on the couch beside me.

I wonder what he has to talk to me about. Maybe it's about Zara. If it is about her, I hope it's nothing bad because I really don't have time to be murdered by someone's father. I deep sigh and change the channel one more time before continuing to eat.
