Indeed, Joe, Charlotte, and the others were now nearby.
Watching the mechanical insect settle on the sill of a dilapidated house and remain motionless, they knew the children must be inside.
"I'll go in and get the children," Professor Campion said anxiously, but Jack held him back.
Jack frowned, "The kids are still with them. If we rush in recklessly, they might use the children as hostages."
Professor Campion stopped immediately, taking a deep breath, "I was just too concerned."
"We might have to wait until late at night to sneak the children out and then catch those guys," Professor Campion quickly realized.
Garry and the others were completely unaware of the surveillance outside and hadn't even prepared food for the three children.
It was the woman who remembered the kids, tossing them some muffins and warning, "You're in our hands now. If you try to escape, I'll break your legs and make you beg in the streets!"
The three kids pretended to be terrified and clung to each other.
Satisfied, the woman assumed they were scared witless and left, locking the door behind her.
Once sure she was gone, Anna whispered to Ben, "Are Dad and Mom here?"
Ben nodded, "Robotrack will lead Dad and Mom to us."
The confident appearance of Ben reassured Anna and Dennis, and they huddled closely together, waiting for their parents' rescue
Fortunately, Charlotte and Joe did not let the children down. As the night grew darker, Mandy quietly climbed up to the window and knocked on it gently.
Ben woke up instantly, while Anna shielded Dennis, all eyes on the window.
