VINCE ASK GOD TO FORGIVE HIM
"Myles, my son, I just spoke to her, you see I encourage the child to leave when she came and related what had happened the Friday night between Vince and Chrystal."
"Dad, you knew Sidney had left already when you asked Vince Tuesday morning?" Seeing him nod, "Dad, so why did you make a façade if you knew?"
Hearing the groaning as he took some deep breaths, " Son, I thought I will teach Vinceson a lesson; I wanted him to hurt just like how the child was hurting, so I give her some money."
Slone heard the two boys shriek when they asked together, "You did what? Oh, my goodness Dad, why did you do that? She must be thinking that you were a part of their scam, and dad you were paying her to go?" Richard responds.
"Son, it was not much."
"Dad, that is not the point, you give her money and the way she was broken she could think anything?"
When Myles said, "I now understand why she said when she called Tuesday night she had no plans of returning, she had already figured out everyone was in this plan to get rid of her."
"I know Myles and I am sorry son but I wasn't thinking at that time she was so distraught, I only realized that a few minutes ago. She came to me for help and I made a mess of things.
Now the child must be thinking we all deceived her, we all need to go and look for her. I don't want to think what her mother would think, when I promised her, I will take care of the child."
"Dad, we should go to her and explain everything before she gets the wrong impression when the news reaches her."
"Myles, I don't want her to get sick, it will bring about more hurts and pain, and then the child won't forgive me, I can't bear to carry that heavy burden."
Richard saw how shaky his dad was, as he speaks, "Richard, let us call first at their home and speak to someone other than the mother, and hear if they have any news of her whereabouts, then we will take the next step?"
"Okay, Dad, that sounds more like a reasonable solution," Richard replies.
"Myles, you try calling the child's phone and see if you could convince her to change her mind. then give Dad so he will try and explain exactly what he was trying to do. I am going to arrange for Michael to bring the car in front, then call the others and find out if they have any news, and I will also make the call at her home."
"Okay," Richard gave him the phone to call her, as Myles went to call her family.
Fifteen minutes later when Myles returns, "Son, what did they say?"
"Dad, the situation is worse than we anticipated."
"However, do you mean Son?"
"Dad, the children are angry with Vince, it has already been four days and today makes five, they could not hide it any longer from the mother."
Slone sees the worried frown on Miles's face, "Son, what is the problem?"
"Dad, her mom has already received the news about Sidney, and dad she had sent word to them of her applying for a divorce."
Seeing the hesitation, "What is it Myles, tell me?"
"Dad, the mother has taken ill this morning and was warded at the hospital."
When he drifted, "Dad, try and relax, her mother was aggravated and they said she doesn't want to see any of us."
"I have to go and see her, they need to know the truth."
"Dad, we need to find her first because her family is looking for her, did you get on to her Richard?
"No, her phone seems to be switched off, I sent a message so let's just hope she gets it."

Driving into Irvin Friday morning hoping she is here, seeing the vast amount of business, 'Is she here Lord? Help me to find her, I tried every village on my way and now I am in the town area.
Here looks like just the place she will seek employment. Today might be the last day I might get the opportunity to check the government offices. And no one better than I know her qualifications are highly in demand, she might also go to companies.'
Spending the entire day seeking out companies, accountant agencies, and governmental offices, having no success, feeling tired and hungry. Sitting in the car after four in the afternoon with all governmental buildings already closed.
Vince closes his eyes having no idea where to go or search again, she is too smart for me, I have to start thinking like her.'
Just then an idea popped into his head, 'Suppose she figures out we will all be looking for her and she doubles back to Escondido?'
Checking his phone to if she send any message, seeing a miss called from Uncle Myles, one-thirty, calling him, thinking something must have happened to GP. Hearing the news of Sidney requesting a divorce. "When did she apply for it?" When Uncle Myles said "Yesterday, and we get the summons today."
Hearing him read the summons to appear in court on Tuesday, feeling his heart shattering into tiny pieces.
The tears just roll down his cheeks, at first this thought was mine to give her a divorce, but now she has twisted my escapade. Vince never thought for a moment this would hurt so much?'
He then felt his insides churning as the upsetness rattled from deep within. Opening his door bringing up everything from his stomach he had a munch on as he hurried along.
Feeling this giddiness, his head feels like it was floating and spinning. Resting his head on top of the steering wheel. He closes his eyes, whispering a word of prayer, "Please Lord, help me to find her, I know if sin is within me you will not hear me, so I beg You to forgive me and wash me clean. I now accept You into my heart Lord Jesus as my Saviour and Lord, Thank You, Jesus, for hearing me, amen."
