Quite clearly, he was upset about his father not accompanying his sister.
However, regardless of his own feelings, it was another matter to assist his father by answering a phone call that could potentially delay his work.
Having observed the dejected look on the face of the young Hutchinson, Glenn Hutchinson took the coat handed to him without saying much. He pulled out his cell phone from his pocket, glanced at the caller ID, answered the call and then, without missing a beat, proceeded upstairs.
"Glenn Hutchinson?"
Very quickly, the voice of Rowdy Brightwill came through from the other end.
"Hmm."
Casually sauntering up the stairs, Glenn Hutchinson responded shortly.
"Where is Flossie Wright now?"
Rowdy Brightwill didn't beat around the bush, asking directly.
"Just left."
"You're not with her?!"
"Hmm," replied Glenn Hutchinson nonchalantly. After a brief pause, he added, "She may have been kidnapped."
