Considering Kate, Victor and yes even Vivian are his 'parents' it is amazing that he has a conscience. I think we can thank Henderson (and jkjpatch) for that!!

Good morning indeed! Loved the chapter Kpatch. I'm glad Chloe found a way to take Philip's mind off everything.

TITAN HEADQUARTERS
Marie: You’re late.
Philip: Yes ma’am, I know. It’s my wife’s fault.
Marie: I don’t want to hear any excuses.
She pours him a cup of coffee and hands it to him.
Philip: I’ll try not to let it happen again. Any messages?
Marie: Mr. Black said he wants to see you.
Philip: Thanks Marie.
Philip heads into Brady’s office.
Philip: What’s up?
Brady: Got this weird telegram this morning.
Philip: People still send telegrams?
Brady: I know, but apparently they do.
Philip: What’s it about?
Brady: It’s from the Office of the Prime Minister of Belize. Did you know we have property in Belize?
Philip almost spits out his coffee.
Philip: Um. Belize?
Brady: Isn’t that where Wesley was held captive?
Philip: Yes.
Brady: There was a hurricane there yesterday. Wiped out everything. Including this piece of property that I didn’t even know we owned.
Philip holds his breath as he reads the telegram.
Phillip: Was … um. I wonder if anyone was hurt. Excuse me Brady. I need to … return some calls.
Philip rushes into his office and logs onto his computer to search the Internet for news about the hurricane.
-Category 5 hurricane.
-Massive flooding.
-300 people confirmed dead.
-An estimated 1,200 people missing.
As he reads the report, he pulls out his cell phone and calls Joe.
Philip: Joe, it’s Philip. Did you hear…
Joe: Philip, I just heard about the hurricane. I’m heading to Belize now. I’m just about to take off.
Philip: Joe, it’s too dangerous to fly into Belize right now. You won’t be able to land the jet.
Joe: Someone’s got to check out the situation, Philip, and I’m the most logical one to do it. Listen, try not to worry. I’ll contact you as soon as I have any information.
Philip: Be careful.
As Philip ends the call, Brady walks into his office.
Brady: What’s going on with you?
Philip: Nothing.
Brady: Bullsh!t. You’re a lousy poker player. You’re worried sick about something.
Philip: I can’t tell you right now. I mean, I don’t know anything. There’s nothing to tell.
Brady: Does it have something to do with the telegram?
Philip’s thoughts jump from his parents to Chloe, and suddenly, the color drains from Philip’s face.
Philip: I have to go. I’ll call you later.
Philip rushes out of the office to the elevator bank and he feels his heart racing a million miles a minute. He can barely breathe as he loosens his tie. He pushes the elevator call button and braces himself against the wall in an effort to keep himself from passing out.
Philip: Oh god. What have I done? What have I done?
To be continued ...

Oh no, poor Phillip. As I much as it pains me to say this, I hope that everyone is okay. Phillip doesn't need anymore on his conscience,

Boy poor Philip. It is hard enough for him without this added on. Wonder if it is a heart attack or panic attack that Philip is having. Thanks for the chapter Kpatch.

I wanna say "I hope everyone is dead" but that's not really true. I hope Victor made it. That's about it.

Poor Phillip.
Hope Joe makes it safely to Belize. For some reason, I have a REALLY bad feeling him going alone.

Love the line about people still sending telegrams. Poor Philip was already tormented about holding them all captive... now a hurricane hits. I'm eager to see what's ahead.
