JUDE
"Silvers! I never thought you could ever call me," he laughs heartily, and I force myself to smile just to alleviate the mood I am in.
"I am sorry, sir, if I have woken you up or disturbed you. I know it's not an ideal time to be calling."
"Nonsense! In this business, we never sleep. Now tell me, what can I do for you?"
"I have come- I have come across a bit of an emergency and I uh," I close my eyes, bowing. "I don't know who else to ask for help."
"Oh, I see." He hums before speaking again after a heartbeat. "Tell me, what is it? I will do my best to help you."
"I happen to need money. My grandmother needs surgery, and I didn't know about it until the last minute. As you know, I don't have any financial support, and all I can hope for is your generosity."
"Of course, Jude. I understand. Tell me, how much is it?"
