S31 68. Anticipate the Attacks
“Oh? Why is it so quiet here?” Louis said as he jumped out of the car.
Kara immediately stretched out her hand to keep him. “It’s a holiday, Louis. The zoo is only giving us access.”
Emily, who had just come out, opened her mouth wide. “We are exclusive guests?”
Hearing a four year old child say that word, Diana was amazed. “Wow,
you’re so smart, Emily. When I was your age, I didn’t know what exclusive was.”
Emily smiled. “Thank you, Grandma.” Holding Diana’s hand, she waited for Barbara and Abigail to get out of the back seat.
“So, what animal should we see first? Should we go straight to the stables?” Louis jumped up with burning enthusiasm.
Emily looked up. “Grandma, what do you want to see?”
“Horses are fine too.”
“In the route to the stables, we will meet lots of animals, Little How about we just follow the path?”
The twins’ eyes lit up. “Good idea, Mommy. Come on, Grandma. L start our adventure.”
While the two toddlers were walking with Diana, Kara approached Frank who was still staring at the trees.
“What’s wrong, Frank?”
The man blinked. Seeing the furrow in Kara’s brows, he quickly shoo his head. “Nothing. Come on in.” He put her arm around Kara’s wais following Ava and Abigail who were behind Diana.
After only a few steps, suddenly, a sound resembling a gun shot came from the trees. When they turned their heads, hundreds of drones were hovering in the air. The guards immediately gathered around them, anticipating an attack.
Meanwhile, the twins immediately thought of the Moore family cruise ship. Their father proposed to their mother there, also using a drone. Sensing a threat, they moved closer to Diana.
“Daddy, Mommy….” Emily whined. Her little body trembled.
Frank and Kara rushed over to the twins. “Don’t be afraid, Little Bee. Daddy and Mommy are here.”
Emily and Louis immediately moved their arms around Kara.” Mommy, is that the Moore family’s drone? They intend to attack us?”
Suddenly, the drones changed formation. Everyone watched carefully. As the words “Welcome to the zoo” formed, they exchanged glances.
“What does it mean?” Diana sighed.
Frank shook his head faintly. When the writing changed to Louj ď Emily’s names, his heart pounded. His hands secretly clench
fists.
“Mommy, why are our names there?” Emily was getting more an more restless.
Kara rubbed Emily’s back faster. “Calm down, Honey. Nothing will happen.”
After a while, new letters were formed. “Have fun! Enjoy your vis
Emily started to pout. Her fear had reached its peak.
Just like his twin sister, Louis hugged Kara tighter. His face paled, h eyebrows furrowed to the max. He regretted investigating Victor Moore’s crimes. If he didn’t know, he wouldn’t be that coward.
“Frank, what should we do?” Kara whispered, still trying to calm down.
However, Frank could tell that she was worried. “They’re normal drones, Kara. There’s no harm they can do to us.”
Just as Frank finished his sentence, several people came out of the ticket counter. Their faces were cheerful. Their smiles were bright. Wearing stuffed animal hats, they shouted, “Welcome to the zoo!”
Frank and the others blinked in surprise. Even the twins peeked while wondering. At that moment, the drone returned behind the trees. The situation suddenly became awkward and tense.
“What really happened?” Diana asked, loosening the smiles of the people who greeted them.
“Good morning, Madam. We are happy that your family is visiting here. The drone show was part of the welcoming. We hope you all enjoy it.”
The man standing in the middle put his hands together in front of his stomach, showing a polite gesture. However, Frank stepped forward with an unfriendly expression.
“Who proposed the idea of welcoming us using drones?”
The curve of the man’s lips grew stiffer. After a few blinks, he at his friend. A thin woman seemed to be shaking.
“S-sorry, Sir. Don’t you like it?” Her speech faltered.
“Who asked you to use drones?” Frank’s words were firmer.
The woman grimaced. “That’s my idea, Sir. I watched the live broadcast when you proposed to your wife. I thought it would be c if we welcomed you in the same way.”
Silence hung in the air. With clenched fists, Frank gritted his teeth. found it difficult to believe what the woman said.
However, before he could express his suspicions, Louis said, “Did that idea really come from you?”
The woman nodded swiftly. “Yes, I actually really admire the Harper family. I always follow the latest information about your family. That’s why…
She stepped forward with her hands clasped next to her trouser line. ” I really hope your visit here will be memorable. I think the drone. performance would be really cool. I’m sorry if you don’t like it. I didn’t
to offend you. Please forgive me.”
Mean
Seeing the woman bend 90 degrees, the twins felt pity. With teary eyes, they looked up at Frank and Kara.
“Mommy, Daddy, I don’t think she’s guilty.”
