I had waited too long for this day to arrive, after submitting the evidence and giving the statement at the station, I went home straight and waited for the drama to unfold.

Everyone was present at the table, including Taylor and Isabelle.

I used my fingers as drumsticks, softly hitting the edge of the table, waiting for the breaking news.

"Dad!" Amber called Francis while staring at her phone.

Her hand was placed over her wide opened mouth.

The evident look of confusion on her face was enough to make me know she had seen the news.

"What is it Amber?" Francis hissed, facing his food.

"Everyone is talking about you! And uncle Anthony too."

"What? What are you saying?"

"Let me see, where did you get that from?"

"How? Why?"

The whole table became a field where everyone fired questions.

"Look!" She said, turning the phone to him. His face twisted in confusion.
