Uncle Ben and Alita frowned at the same time due to the sudden interruption.
"I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Benjamin, but this is urgent." Asher's impatient voice rang out from outside.
"Come in." Uncle Ben said, wondering what was going on.
Asher pushed the door open and walked into the room with Fred in tow. His face twisted in confusion, brows knitted together when he set eyes on Alita.
His expression wasn't much different from Fred's, only, Fred's lips literally parted when he saw Alita, as his jaw fell slack.
"What is the emergency, Asher?" Alita questioned, tilting her head to the side as her eyes moved from Asher to Fred, then back to Asher. There was evident confusion on her face and the face of her uncle, puzzling Asher the more. What the heck is going on?
He slowly turned his head to Fred who, just like him, seemed not to be recovering from the shock he had been dealt.
