      "I'm so sorry" Brad said ashamed, "it's okay Brad, you can come in" Chloe said faking a smile to hide her pain. The room was more like one in a hospital, what Brad heard was from a video tape of Chloe and Lily's last birthday party. Chloe was sitting close to a bed holding the hands of a old lady who looked half dead. "This is my grandmother, she's in coma" Chloe said trying to fight back her tears, "she went into coma shortly after she heard about Lily's death so, I come here every evening to play that tape hoping that hearing Lily's voice will bring her back to me" Chloe said with her voice clouded at the moment. Brad who was emotionally moved by what he just witnessed walked across the room towards where Chloe was seated and said, "I'm so sorry,really sorry" wrapping his hands around her. Immediately she responded by wrapping her hands around him like a baby crying heavily.
     
         "What's up guys" Chloe asked smiling like nothing happened as she walked into the living room with Brad. "We're just chilling, where have you been though?" Tobi asked, "I was taking care of a few things" she replied sitting close to Tobi. So! Ermm are you guys dating or it's not official yet? "You mean us?" Tobi and Chloe said looking at each other pretending to be surprised, "not really" Chloe said blushing. "I see" the boys chorused smiling at each other, "if it's a secret trust us to keep it" Brad said smiling. "We're just seeing each other no big deal" before Tobi could finish his sentence he was interrupted by the butler. "Pardon me Miss Chloe, your uncle Harvey is here to see you", "Okay, you can have him wait for me in the guest room" "that won't be necessary,we're about leaving", "this early!" Chloe asked, "yes,we have a game to get to" Tobi said as he planted a kiss on her lips. As they stood up to leave the butler lead Chloe's uncle into the room.
    
    Harvey Wilson is Chloe's late Father's younger brother, about 6'3 in height, nice haircut with a perfectly groomed beard and has the stocky build of a rugby player. Dressed in a white Oxford button-down shirt, a perfectly ironed grey trouser, brown coat and well polished loader shoes. "Good evening lads, the name is Harvey" he said as he extended his hand to the boys, "Tobi" "Brad" "Dave" the boys said as they took turns in shaking Harvey. "It's nice meeting you young lads", "the pleasure is ours" they responded.

         As the boys were about to enter Brads car, Tobi remembered that he forgot his cell phone inside the house. "I'll be right back just a minute." Fortunately for him he met the door opened, as he proceeded towards the living room he heard Harvey say, "we have to take care of her as soon as possible, nobody must know about this because it's bad for business."
