A little later Jack had calmed down after trying to hold in his laughter.
When he settled down decided to check his status to see his experience.

'Not bad... Just a little bit more and then I'll level up.' Jack smiled when he saw his experience and got excited.
He saw his energy and thought about what he could do to scare them for that last bit of experience.
After much thought, he realized he hasn't touched them physically so maybe that might get a good reaction.
'!!!!' Then Jack suddenly has a great idea.
If David were able to hear his thought he would only be able to call it a diabolical thought.
He thought that since David is so scared of the bear what would he do if he thought that it was under the table and touched him?
So Jack walked up to David's side and crouched down.
He then focused his will on his hand and pulled David's pants at about the height of the teddy bear would be.
David immediately stood up, knocking his chair over in the process, and hurriedly took a few steps back while anxiously looking under the table where his legs were located.
Sarah heard the commotion and looked over at him.
"What is going on?" She questioned him confused about why he suddenly stood up and knocked the chair down.
"Uhhh nothing... My bad I felt something crawling on my leg and freaked out a bit."
David smoothly lied while patting down his lag like he was trying to kill whatever it was.
Sarah looked at him suspiciously for a bit before she accepted it.
"You can do all that without knocking the chair over and making a huge commotion." Sarah reprimanded him.
"God, you almost scared me half to death, what if I burned myself huh?"
"You wouldn't be able to survive without a day without me."
" I could have gotten seriously hurt because of you freaking out over something in your pants."
"My bad, My bad, I'm sorry, it's my fault." David kept saying and nodding repeatedly as she reprimanded him.
'You are so whipped bro.' Jack thought as he looked at David with a bit of pity.
'Maybe I should treat you better...' Jack thought a bit then immediately thought better of it.
'Nah, as a man of your house you have to deal with this because you wouldn't want me to share your wife and daughter right?'
If David knew what he was thinking he would probably slap him and respond,
'Can you not scare anyone!?!?!'
Unfortunately, David couldn't hear Jack's thoughts so he was unable to retort.
.....
Not long later David sat down again after picking the chair up.
As soon as he sat down however Sarah finished making breakfast.
"Go get Angelica so we can have breakfast." She ordered David.
David who just sat down and relaxed wanted to argue that he was tired but knew she wouldn't take his excuse and so he reluctantly got up and did as she asked.
"Of course dear." He said languidly as he walked to get Angelica.
Jack meanwhile was distracted.
He thought that scare would be enough but according to his system...

'Only 2% for that?!?!' Jack looked disbelieving at his system.
He thought that was a great fright and David would give him at least half of what he needed.
But it was not to be.
'Great... If not even that worked what should I do now.'
'He's about to bring Angelica and I can't do much without scaring her too...'
'I refuse to scare a little kid too much though, I'm not that low...'
'So what now? Wait until later tonight?'
Jack thought but he immediately refused that thought, he couldn't wait, he wanted to level as fast as possible, he told himself that he would click continue on his system notifications after the investigators show them the evidence, they could be here today for all he knew.
So Jack decided to spend what energy he had left by going to the bedroom and getting the bear before David woke Angelica.
He didn't have much time so he had to hurry.
Jack phased through all the walls to the bedroom, grabbed the fallen doll, and carried it to the door.
He then hurriedly focused on his hand and opened the door to take the doll out.
Unfortunately just as he brought the doll out and started on his way to the kitchen he ran out of energy and the doll dropped to the center of the kitchen entryway.
'Shit.' Jack thought at first that he failed.
But just then David started walking back with Angelica in his arms.
As soon as he was able to see the doll he froze in his tracks.
David's face changed from hesitation at seeing the doll and determination as he had to bring Angelina to eat.
So he "confidently" soldiered on while stepping around the doll and entered the kitchen.
Jack was excited when he saw David see the doll but then he was disappointed with his reaction.
Jack felt resigned to not getting the level up since his energy was empty.
Jack checked his status only to see it had only gained 1 percent for that.
Jack sighed and followed David into the kitchen.
.....
When David saw the doll he felt Angelica was giving him courage.
So he passed the doll nervously.
When he did and nothing happened he relaxed and took his sleepy daughter to her seat at the table.
After he sat her down and he sat down breakfast was served.
.....
Jack watched them eat and then after that they all left.
David to work, Sarah with Angelica to the school bus stop.
Jack was all alone depressed that he couldn't get the last 5% for his level.
