"I'm agent... Uh, Toni Silverstrike. You're talking about Michael aren't you?" Toni said, intrigued.
"Yes, my son Michael. So you're the feller? I should have known it was you" the man replied.
"You're Michael's father. He hasn't spoken to you in... For a while" Toni said.
"Tell him next time you see him, that I love him... And I'm sorry" said the man.
