Hamlyn, Fredy, and Henry lounged on the couch, lost in contemplation.
Fredy broke the silence, "Guys, any idea why Hamond hasn't come back yet?" Henry and Hamlyn turned their attention to him, curious.
Henry reassured, "Come on guys there's no need to worry he's dropping off Sheryl, Ruby, and Rurina at their houses; it's going to take some time." He glanced at Hamlyn with a hint of concern, noticing Hamlyn's gaze meeting his.
The trio exchanged looks, silently acknowledging their shared worry. Then, Hamlyn nodded in agreement.
Henry retrieved his phone, dialed a number, and activated the speakerphone. After a few rings, someone answered the call.
Henry inquired, "Hey Hamond, where are you, brother?" Hamond's laughter echoed through the speaker as he reassured, "Relax, guys, I'm all good. Just dropped everyone off, and I'm heading back now."
"Okay, take care, and come back quickly," Henry urged.
Hamond chuckled, "Got it, no worries," before ending the call.
