Chapter 574: Daniel Had a Car Accident

At the Science Museum, Casey came back with some ice cream and looked around. "Hey, Uncle Daniel, where'd Justin and Joe go?"

He looked up at Daniel, who was almost inside, with those big, innocent eyes.

Daniel's fingers stiffened, and he opened his mouth but couldn't get a word out.

His throat felt like sandpaper.

When did he start using kids to get what he wanted?

"Uncle Daniel?" Casey asked again, looking up at him.

Daniel took a deep breath, turned around, and glanced towards the hot dog stand. "They went that way. They'll be back soon. Wanna head in first?"

Casey glanced at the hot dog stand and shook his head. "Nah, I'll wait for them."

Casey might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he knew better than to ditch his friends.

He stood there for a bit, watching the ice cream start to melt, then quickly walked towards the hot dog stand. "Justin, Joe, the ice cream's melting!"

He ran quite a distance but still didn't see them.

Daniel followed closely, nervously keeping an eye on Casey.

Casey stood there, looking at the melted ice cream in his hands. "Aw man, it's all melted. We can't eat it now."

"Why don't you eat yours first?" Daniel asked softly.

"No way, Justin and Joe are my friends. We gotta eat together," Casey said quietly.

The simple truths kids got sometimes got lost when they grew up.

Daniel didn't say anything, just stood there with Casey.

Casey waited a long time but didn't see Justin or Joe. "Justin wouldn't leave me. Did something happen to them?"
