"What do you mean your mother is dead? When? How? Then who is in that dungeon room in the Trent Villa?" Calder asked. Syria bit her bottom lip as she looked at Calder. "... Can we go inside? Please?"

"Joseph, sorry about the or-cha-ta but can I ask you to lead the way to your house. I promise to come back for the pot." Calder said apologetically.
