The man's demeanor was one of panic as he led Isiah to where Ciel and Lexie were hooked up to various medical devices. He eagerly nodded in agreement as Isiah suggested disconnecting Lexie first, but his fear was palpable as he warned Isiah about the importance of the child.
"You just have to know that the kid... the kid is very important... I mean... they are not going to let you take it," he stammered, his eyes darting around nervously.
Isiah's already intense anger boiled over at the man's words. "What do you mean by 'they'?" he demanded, his voice low and dangerous.
The man trembled visibly as he responded, "The government. The kid's folder was traced with red. Only important people get that color. However, I don't know why... there was nothing written in his folder."
It was clear that the man was treading on thin ice, desperate to avoid saying anything that could provoke Isiah into violence.
