"Hello" answered a weary Frankie to his non-stop ringing phone.

"Frankie! you finally picked up the phone, thank god", came from the other end of the phone.
An anxious sounding Gabriel sounded relieved the moment the phone was answered.

Gabriel was in the A&E now as he was down with severe food poisoning with vomiting and the run, so bad that he could hardly walk since 2am in the morning.

He would have to be hospitalized for a day for observation, but today was not like any other normal day, Frankie has a presentation to do for the mayor of the city that the company has prepared and rehearsed for 2 weeks prior.
As June is the school holiday and is the usual travel season with parents applying annual leave for family holiday plans.

Gabriel scrolled through his phone list and WhatsApp groups with no one to turn to as a backup, he recalled Frankie was not clearing any leave and would be available if triggered, but he was also not involved in the presentation preparation at all as he was never interested in such.

Gabriel would have to put his faith in Frankie that he would be able to be winging it through this time round given his long tenure in the company.

"I neeed you to stand in for me for the presentation to the Mayor later as I am down today, I know you are not involved and not prepared. But there are no new information in the slides, look it through and I believe you would be able to wing it through."

Before Frankie could react to the sudden news, the line was cut.
