Chapter 225: Communication

After hanging up Emily Lopez's call, James Brown dialed Gina Lopez's number. It barely rang twice before it was answered.

"What's going on with you? Why haven't you been answering my calls?" Gina's tone was very anxious, tinged with a sense of rebuke.

James Brown was used to Gina's tone and wasn't angered. He chuckled and replied, "I ran into some trouble and got detained at the police station, couldn't answer your calls."

"Detained at the police station? What happened to you?" There was a hint of concern in her voice now.

James Brown explained, "I left your house today to meet my girlfriend for shopping, then stumbled upon a fight. A friend of mine stepped in to do the right thing, and ended up being taken in by the police. I went to help and also got detained."

"Why didn't you call me? I could have found someone to bail you out. I know a few leaders."

"Heh, that's not necessary. We were doing a good deed, not fighting. It'll clear up soon enough."
