The Red Lotus Lounge (6)

"So, is my son going to fight?" Anderson's father asked.

"Indeed, so there is no time to lose," Erik replied.

Before coming to the Red Lotus Lounge, he had the idea of asking the parents to fight to save the others; of course, he mostly cared about Anderson and Mikey.

The problem was that, of the 21 people who got kidnapped, only fifteen were able to fight since four were kids and two were elderly people.

Erik approached Anderson's father and Mikey's mother, who had been sitting in the corner of the room together since they knew each other. They looked worried, but there was a slight tint of determination in their eyes, which was a positive sign.

"Mikey is there too," Erik suddenly said.

Anderson's father and Mikey's mother exchanged a look of concern, but then Mikey's mother spoke up.

"We can't just sit here and wait," she said to Anderson's father, her voice firm. "If there's a chance to save our children, we must take it."
