"Damn it," Sam said, sitting down on the couch with a sigh. "What did that guy even want from us?"
Gwen didn't seem as worried as Sam. She wasn't sure how the man knew about the creature's skin, but she wasn't concerned. After all, the man had been arrested.
"He won't be a problem anymore," Gwen said with a smile, sitting down on the couch. She turned on the TV with the remote. Meanwhile, Sam was bothered by how relaxed Gwen seemed.
Realizing that no matter what he said, Gwen wouldn't take him seriously, Sam decided not to argue further with her. He turned to Ethan and noticed him staring intently at the creature's skin.
"Ethan?" Sam called out, but Ethan didn't respond and continued staring. Sam tried again. "Ethan? Are you okay?"
Sam touched Ethan's shoulder, and when Ethan finally turned his gaze to him, Sam shuddered for a brief moment. A sense of fear washed over him, but it faded quickly.
