Within moments, security guards hurried over, their voices sharp. "Who are you? What are you trying to do?" The sudden commotion drew everyone's attention, and Jeffrey felt their eyes on him.
The loud alarm and the countless stares made him nervous. He clenched his fists, struggling to speak. "I'm not here to cause trouble... I just..." Before he could finish, one of the guards grabbed him by the arm and shoved him aside.

But Jeffrey stood his ground. He hadn't seen Brian yet. He still needed answers.
"No... I won't leave! I need to see Brian White," he said, forcing the words out. Saying those words took every bit of courage he had.
The guard let out a mocking laugh, shaking his head. "Did you just say Mr. Brian White? Hah! Look at him-he actually thinks he can meet the president. What a joke!" Another guard smirked. "Hey, didn't they say a mental patient escaped from a hospital recently? Maybe it's him. We should just call the cops and let them deal with it." The word "police" sent a wave of panic through Jeffrey. His eyes brimmed with tears as he pleaded, "No... I'm not crazy. Please don't call the police!" But the more he begged, the more certain the guards becthat something was wrong with him.
"What's the point of talking to him? Just call 911. We'll be in trouble if we let him roam around," one of them said impatiently.
"Good idea. I'm calling right now," another guard replied, pulling out his phone.

In his desperation, Jeffrey clutched the guard's shirt, his voice trembling. "I swear. I'm not here to cause trouble. I just need to see Brian White!"
The guard sneered and kicked him back. "You must be delusional Po you have any idea who he is? You think you can just waltz in and meet him?" Jeffrey, struggling to steady himself, insisted, "He... he's going to be my brother-in-law." The moment he said it, laughter erupted around him. The guards doubled over, barely able to contain themselves.
One of them wiped his tears from laughing. "Did I hear that right? You are myt related to him? Even in my dreams, I wouldn't dare think of being part of his family. And you? You expect us to believe that?"
