“Alright then, let's leave earlier today,” said Henry. He stroked Jamie's head and continued, “Your daddy is on a business trip, and Robbie is probably bored at home now. Let's leave earlier and meet him at Fairytale Land.”
“Oh, okay,” murmured Jamie. He knew it wasn't appropriate for him to press on, so he changed tactics and said, “Let me go get my backpack.”
“Jamie, help me take my backpack as well,” requested Ellie. She didn't know that they were already assigned a task and that the mission was ongoing.
“Your backpack is so heavy. Go get it yourself,” Jamie declined. “Come on. We'll go together.” Jamie needed an excuse to drag Ellie away.
Ellie harrumphed and frowned in annoyance before complaining, “You are so mean.”
“We'll get the teachers to bring them over for you,” suggested the principal immediately.
“There's no need for that. Let them do it on their own,” refused Henry grimly. “The Nacht family members were taught to always accomplish their tasks by themselves. Please don't give the kids special treatment. Just treat them like they are normal kids.”
“Understood,” replied the principal while nodding.
“You may get back to work. There's no need to keep us company,” instructed Henry when he saw the other kids peeking over. “The other kids and their parents are staring, and this will affect everyone negatively.”
“That is...” said the principal as he turned to the directors, who exchanged glances with him.
“I have some questions for the kids' teacher, but everyone else should go,” instructed Henry sternly.
“Understood,” said the principal. Everyone bowed politely before leaving in a hurry.
Henry had his men push him in his wheelchair to the other side so that he wouldn't affect the other kids and their parents. After that, he asked the teacher about how Jamie and Ellie were doing at school.
At that moment, Jamie dragged Ellie to the side and shared Robbie's plan with her.
Hearing that got Ellie to turn pale, and she said, “Isn't it a little too dangerous for Robbie to carry out the mission on his own? There's a scary eagle in Northridge. What if it attacks Robbie like it did the last time?”
“I'm worried about that too, but Robbie already set everything in motion, so all we can do is support him. If we don't, the entire plan will go up in smokes,” replied Jamie with a frown. He sounded worried as well.
“But...”
