Molly and Felix are back.
"I was just about to call you, where did you guys go?" Mike greeted them as they walked in, "You missed a big drama!"
"We got lost!" Felix exclaimed, clearly embarrassed.
"Dad, you're the one who led us astray!" Molly retorted, looking helpless, "Mike, what happened?"
Mike quickly filled them in on the recent happenings.
Molly frowned instantly after hearing the story, "Dad, I am not going on morning runs with you anymore!"
"Come on, I promise I'll stay off the mountain trails from now on!" Felix pleaded.
"It's my responsibility to protect Ivy and Cory. Ivy almost got into trouble today!" Molly paused, "I should also protect the baby in Ms. Paige’s belly!"
Molly's logic was simple.
She should protect those kids!
After saying this, Molly went straight to find Ivy and Cory.
Leaving Felix alone, looking rather awkward.
"Felix, why on earth did you run up the mountain?" Mike asked, curious.
"I heard you could pick mushrooms up there." Felix admitted, scratching his nose, "But the trails here are so confusing, I got lost after a short while."
Mike looked at him speechlessly.
Felix, such a competent hitman, got lost while mushroom picking.
If word got out, it would surely leave people in stitches.
"Did you pick any mushrooms then?"
At this point, Felix looked even more embarrassed: "I did, but when I got back, I ran into the cook. He told me only two of the mushrooms I picked were edible, the rest were poisonous!"
Mike didn’t know what to say anymore.
