They stopped at the door. Dorothy peeked through the window at the door, confirming whether Cato was really in there or not. And it turned out that the man was really there, he was busy with his project all by himself. Miles and Martin are nowhere to be seen. And his two sons, Joe and Derek. Dorothy was silent for a moment. He thought it would be too risky if he invited Tiana and Rivanno in.
"Why are you quiet, is he inside?" whispered Tiana, disperse the reverie of her best friend.
"I thought it would be too risky if I invited you in, so I was thinking of a way. I don't see my kids anyway. Inside I don't see Miles and Martin at all."
"In that case, we'd better split the task. You meet your husband, while Tiana and I will look for your two children." Rivanno.
"Great idea!" Tiana agreed. Dorothy nodded her head slowly. "It seems your idea wasn't bad. Then when you find my two children, immediately take them to the room where the time machine is. That way we can go straight away, okay?"
"But what about you?" Tiana looked at Dorothy with an anxious look on her face.
"I'll be fine. What matters is how you help them get away. I can take care of myself, and I will also definitely be able to go home after you guys."
"Alright, but promise me you'll be okay."
"You guys too. I'm counting on you."
Dorothy eventually parted ways with Tiana and Rivanno. While he entered, it was different with Tiana and Rivanno who are now back walking to find the whereabouts of Joe and Derek who are out of nowhere.
The focus of the man instantly turned to him who had suddenly appeared from the entrance. "Dorothy, what are you doing here?"
"Of course I'm here to take my son back, where are they? Where you hid Joe and Derek, tell me!"
"Why are you looking for them? I won't let you meet them. Don't you want to part with me? Then why do you want to meet them?"
"I am his mother, and I have the right to see my two children! Tell me where is he now? Did you hide it in a place like this? JOE'S! THE CRANE! WHERE ARE YOU GUYS, HONEY?" Dorothy shouted as she walked past the man. Cato turned around while continuing to stare at the woman intensely. "They're not here. I hid them in a safe place. In a place where you'll never find them."
"Why are you doing this to me? Why do you want to separate me from my own children?"
"Don't forget that they are my children too!"
"Yes, that was. But not anymore. Not after you decide to join this dangerous syndicate. I won't let you get close to my son." Dorothy approached Cato, clashing with the man. His facial expression looked unfriendly. They began to engage in a debate. Cato and Dorothy both did not want to let go of their children. Both want to keep them away from each other.
Dorothy continued to pressure Cato into giving them to her, while Cato was completely unwilling.
