Jr's grandfather, Hampton the First, sat in stunned silence, his eyes wide with shock and outrage. He had never imagined that such evil existed in the world, targeting innocent children and exploiting them for nefarious purposes.
As Jr finished his story, Hampton the First took a deep breath, his expression a mix of sadness and determination. "Those are the people who are supposed to be called heroes," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "That young black girl, Bella, she's a true hero."
Jr nodded in agreement. "Yes, Grandfather. She's an amazing person. And I'm planning to adopt all three girls once we find more information about the youngest one."
Hampton the First's eyes lit up with approval. "That's a wonderful decision, Jr. You're doing the right thing. Those girls need a loving home, and I know you'll provide that for them."
Jr smiled, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. He had been worried about how his grandfather would react, but now he felt grateful for his understanding and support.
"What about your parents?" Hampton the First asked, his brow furrowed with concern. "Have you told them about the girls?"
Jr shook his head. "No, Grandfather. I want to wait until we've found more information about the youngest girl. Then I'll explain everything to them."
Hampton the First nodded thoughtfully. "I understand. But Jr, you need to be careful. These criminals are ruthless, and they won't hesitate to hurt anyone who gets in their way."
Jr's expression turned serious. "I know, Grandfather. But I'm not going to back down. I'll do everything in my power to bring those criminals to justice and give those girls the life they deserve."
Hampton the First smiled, his eyes shining with pride. "That's my grandson," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "Always standing up for what's right, no matter the cost."
