"I'm sorry but I'm not in the house right now. When I returned; I will ask him to call you back." Mick lied to the man.
Mick is not a weakling, but ever since he felt the evilness of Jerry; he began to fear the man, not for himself but for Leo. When he first found out about the fact that he is behind Leo's parents death; he foolishly went after the man, but in return; Jerry got Leo poisoned to serve as a warning to Mick, for him not to pass his boundary.
Ever since then, he has been avoiding getting on the man's bad side unless he wants Leo to pay the price.
"Are you scheming behind my back?" Jerry asked suspecting something seems off.
"I will never. As soon as I get home, I will tell inform to call you." Mick said.
Jerry disconnected the call.
