"Dad, why are we returning to the mansion now? I want to stay with you until we find Mom and April!"
Joshy demanded, as soon as he realized that they were nearing the mansion already.
"Oh please, calm down now, Joshy. You can't come with me. It would be dangerous. I have to search for them, along with Paul and the police."
Vincent replied, trying to keep his tone as gentle as possible, so as not to stress Joshy even more. He could imagine how Joshy felt right now. He himself had the same upset reaction to all these events. In fact, he was even blaming himself for letting Doreen and April leave the Empire State building without him. He should have not been too relaxed about their safety. When did he become too complacent? Was he losing his edge as someone feared by people, to even do something such as this?
"Dad, are you still listening to me? You don't even want me to stay with Dane in the hospital. Now you are leaving me here, in the mansion."
