HMM...
HAS IT BEEN ABOUT 20 MINUTES?
THE TWO OF THEM SHOULD HAVE TALKED ENOUGH BY NOW, RIGHT?
I REALLY HOPE THOSE TWO GET CLOSE.
THEY'RE NOT OVER HERE!
WHY ARE THE BODYGUARDS HERE?
HEY, DID SOMETHING HAPPEN?
M-MR. BAILEY...!
W-WE'RE SO SORRY! MR. MILLER'S CONDITION SUDDENLY WORSENED,
AND WHILE WE TURNED OUR EYES AWAY FOR A MOMENT, THE KID VANISHED, SO EVERYONE IS LOOKING FOR HIM NOW!
PETE VANISHED?
WHAT ON EARTH-
!!!
DON'T TELL ME YOU UNLEASHED THE DOGS?!
N-NO! IT'S NOT US. THERE'S A DOG KENNEL NEARBY, AND IT SEEMS THE KID
FOLLOWED THE SOUND OF THE BARKING, SO MR. MILLER IS ALSO LOOKING FOR HIM TOGETHER!
DAMN IT! TEAMS 1 AND 2, LOOK FOR MR. MILLER!
TEAMS 3 AND 4, LOOK FOR THE KID!
Y-YES, SIR!
NO, PETE! CHASE!
PETE!
PETE BAILEY!
TO PANIC OVER A MERE DOG BARKING SOUND AND LOSE THE CHILD.
WHAT WERE THEY DOING, NOT EVEN BEING ABLE TO WATCH A CHILD PROPERLY IN THAT SHORT MOMENT!!
!!!
IS THAT WHERE THE DOG KENNEL IS?
THE WIRE FENCE IS CUT, ISN’T IT?
...COULD PETE BE IN THERE?
HE MIGHT NOT HAVE GONE ALL THE WAY INSIDE.
THE AMUSEMENT PARK IS BIG, AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF PLACES TO LOOK.
BUT-
PETE FOLLOWED THE BARKING SOUND...
UGH!
DAMN IT...
HAA...
COWARDLY BASTARD.
WHY AM I LIKE THIS?
JOSHUA ENDED UP COVERED IN BLOOD TO PROTECT ME.
YET I CAN'T EVEN PROTECT HIS CHILD.
I HAVE TO CHECK INSIDE THERE, TOO.
IT'S OKAY, THERE'S A WIRE FENCE.
NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.
JOSHUA TRUSTED ME AND ENTRUSTED THE CHILD TO ME.
THAT'S WHY-
PETE! PETE BAILEY!
ARE YOU IN THERE?!
NOW I HAVE TO PROTECT HIS CHILD.
UGHH...
PETE!
WAAAH, HELP ME!
PETE, HOLD ON JUST A BIT!
WAAAH-!
I'M COMING RIGHT NOW-!
THE DOG FROM THE KENNEL IS-!
PETE! HOLD ON TIGHT! NEVER LET GO!
UGH—!
JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE...!
PETE!
NO...!
NGH...
WOOF!
CHASE! PETE!
ARE YOU BOTH ALRIGHT?!
JOSHUA....
DADDY!
YOU'RE NOT HURT ANYWHERE?
I'M FINE, PETE IS SAFE TOO.
DADDY, DADDY...!
YEAH, PETE. YOU CAN REST EASY NOW.
CHASE...!
YOU HAVE A WOUND ON YOUR FACE-!
AH, I'M FINE. IT'S NOTHING.
MR. MILLER! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?
WE'RE SO SORRY! BECAUSE WE DIDN'T CHECK THE SURROUNDINGS PROPERLY-
FORGET ABOUT ME, CHECK ON THE CHILD FIRST. SEE IF HE'S HURT ANYWHERE.
YES, UNDERSTOOD! I'LL CALL THE MEDICAL TEAM RIGHT AWAY!
CHASE, WHY DID YOU DO THAT...?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU'RE SCARED OF DOGS.
BUT WHY DID YOU SAVE PETE INSTEAD OF RUNNING AWAY?
EVEN WHILE GETTING HURT LIKE THIS...
JOSHUA.
HE'S YOUR CHILD.
WHAT OTHER REASON DO I NEED BESIDES THAT?
TO A MAN LIKE THIS.
I DIDN'T EVEN GIVE A CHANCE TO DRAW THE LINE.
...HE'S YOUR CHILD.
WHAT...?
YOU MIGHT NOT REMEMBER IT. 5 YEARS AGO, WHEN I RESCUED YOU, YOU WENT INTO RUT.
AND ON THAT NIGHT YOU DON'T REMEMBER,
YOU SLEPT WITH ME, AND YOU MARKED ME.
CHASE MILLER.
PETE IS THE CHILD BORN BETWEEN YOU AND ME FROM THAT TIME.
