Soon enough, he picked up.

"Hello."

“Have you found Alick?"

“I'm sure someone is taking care of him, but I haven't found him yet."

Forrest leaned against the wall and said, "I have a boy here with me, about sixteen or seventeen years old. He's a foreigner. He appeared on my doorstep just earlier and said that it was Alick who asked him to come to see me. I can't tell whether he's dangerous or not."

“Wait a minute. I'll call you later." Without giving further explanation, Willie hung up.

Forrest waited for a while.

A long time passed, and there was still no word from Willie.

Forrest's patience had worn thin. Just as he was about to call Willie again himself, the phone suddenly rang.

Forrest picked up quickly and asked expectantly, “Well? What is it? What took you so long?"

“I just checked on some things. He's not a bad person, but don't bring him home."

Willie roughly told Forrest where the boy came from.

The couple who had saved Isaac was dead.

The boy was a hostage.

He was the dead couple's son.

After being caught, Alick was locked up with him.

An opportunity to escape came, and Alick helped the boy get out.

Alick also gave him Forrest's address, but he didn't tell the boy the manor's address, just in case.

On the off chance that the boy had bad intentions, sending him to the manor would be no different from bringing a wild beast home.

Thinking of this, Alick gave the boy Forrest's address instead.
