Hurrying downstairs to the hotel lobby, Shane saw Silas holding Connor's hand and leading him into the hotel.

As soon as Connor spotted Shane, the former shook off Silas' hand and ran to Shane, choking out through sobs, “Daddy!”

Shane crouched down and hugged him while gently patting his head. “There, there. Don't cry.”

I know he's like this because he's worried about Natalie. I am too, but I have to remain calm. Otherwise, it'll only make it more difficult to find her.

After comforting Connor, Shane looked up at Silas. “Where's Sharon?”

Silas quickly explained, “She didn't come with us. Mrs. Wilson is looking after her. She kept begging to come, but I didn't let her, thinking it'd be slightly inconvenient for us since we'd have to have someone stay with her all the time.”

Shane nodded. “That was the right decision. You did well.”

He's right. If Sharon were here, she'd only be a distraction because we'd have to comfort her and take care of her. That would take up much of our time and energy. Once we find Natalie, I'll go back and make it up to her.
