Benjamin Swantz realized that Dylan Flack in front of him didn't want to share his thoughts, so he decided it was best not to press the child any further.
Truth be told, Benjamin began to realize that even a thorough investigation would take a long time, given that the two children had experienced different things.
So, first, Benjamin patted Dylan on the shoulder and then reassured him, "You can relax now. If that person dared to come to the police station to pick up Ivy Grant, it shows they're not afraid. So Ivy won't be in any danger!"
That was a way to comfort himself, really. Dylan wasn't fixated on the problem anymore; he thought it wasn't good to keep suspecting Mr. Yates. But now, he was wrestling with whether he should go with Ivy.
"Then, can you tell me if it's better for me to stay here or to go with Ivy Grant? Where can I be of some help?"
