"Owen, give me a sec."
Richmond's heart started pounding as he moved further away from the VIP Longue towards the shaded patio.
A bright, flashing bolt of lightning lit up the sky like fireworks. Its electrifying beauty, made known by banging, crashing thunder roaring furiously.
Lifting his eyes skyward, Richmond felt his soul pulse slowly progress into a steady and strong rhythm. He placed his right hand on his pounding chest to stifle his anxiety.
Deep down, Richmond had this weird feeling that things were about to turn for the worst. Even the gloomy weather seemed to agree with his thoughts.
"Alright Owen, speak to me. Is she alright?" Richmond asked.
"No sir...I mean, y...yes, sir. I...I'm not really sure, sir." Owen stuttered. "It's just that Mrs Hart and her couple friends have been touring different hospitals, conducting HIV tests."
