Elijah and Michelle immediately followed suit. Soon, the room echoed with the sounds of heads knocking on the ground. Galen blinked at the sight before him. Although curious, he saw Dominic's anger and pursed his lips in silence.
"Get up, all of you! Get up now!" Dominic roared. His voice was so loud that everyone froze and looked up at him.
"Daniel Fike! You're something else, aren’t you?!" As he began to pace back and forth, he continued, "Even at this age, you're still pulling this trick on me? Do you think I will agree with you this way?!"
"No. I'm genuinely begging you! I'm running out of options! We've checked everywhere, and there’s still no sign of him. It's been so many days, and you know how Austin is. He won't make us worry like this.
“Something terrible must have happened! Also, that lab… That laboratory has been abandoned. I've had people investigate that place, but it was wiped clean. Not a single soul remains there. There's a basement in the building. Although the rooms were empty, it looked like someone had lived there.
“A professor from the laboratory died a while ago, so it's hard not to assume it has something to do with the lab. Dom, I've never asked anything from you for decades. I know you resent and hate me, but this is different! I will do whatever it takes to get Austin back, even if it means giving up my life!"
"Why would I want your life?! Can I make anything out of it?!" Dominic replied angrily. Then he shot Daniel a glare and said, "Get up! Get up, and we'll talk!"
"Dom…"
"I didn't say I wasn't going to look for him!" Dominic grumbled.
Although it was in a negative annotation, it was still a great relief. The whole family brightened up upon hearing this and helped each other up.
