Daniel sat silently on the couch, looking at the newspaper lying on the table with the title "Lost Man." The boy tried to hear what Star and Nicky were talking about, but he didn't understand anything because they were behind the closed door, some screams started coming from the kitchen, and running shadows were visible from under the door. "Catch him Star." Nicky shouted upset.

"Stop you little choke!" Star shouted.

A row of falling objects and muffled squeaks came from the kitchen.

Daniel got up from the sofa and went to the kitchen door, which suddenly opened and struck Daniel. "Aaugh!" Daniel shouted while falling to the floor.

"What's going on there?" Daniel asked calmly.

"It's not your business, go back to the sofa and wait for Steele. You're lucky to be so important for Steele, otherwise I would do something to you." Nicky replied dryly.

"Don't waste my time! Get back to your place!" Nicky replied and pushed Daniel, who fell back to the floor

"Stupid dog." Daniel whispered to himself.

"What did you say?" Nicky stood over Daniel with his teeth grinning.

Suddenly, the door of the house opened and Steele walked inside with a rucksack in his mouth. "What is going on here?"

"Nothing, Steele, Daniel fell off the sofa and helped him to get up." Nicky answered Steele. "You're lucky, kid." Nicky whispered to Daniel while he going back to the kitchen.

"Well, son, I brought you what you wanted." Steele said.

"Thank you Steele." Daniel replied and extended his hands to the backpack.

"Can you explain it to me?" Steele pulled out the pictures from backpack.

"My pictures, can you give them back to me?" Daniel asked uncertainly.

Steele walked to the fireplace, watching Daniel's face. "Oops, I'm afraid it's not possible." Steele said while throwing the pictures into the flames.

"No! Why did you do that?!" Daniel shouted.

"You don't need them anymore, now I am your family." Steele replied with madness in his eyes.

"... and Dusty." Daniel added.

"She isn't part of our family anymore." Steele responded with disappointment.

"Why?" Daniel asked with interest.

"She preferred to protect Kabi than help me." Steele replied.

"Did you want to hurt Kodi again?" Daniel asked.

"Do you also want to oppose me?" Steele spoke madly, smiling in a terrifying way.

"No, I just don't like aggression." Daniel answered terrified.

Steele laid his paw on Daniel's scar that Steele had done to him the previous time. "Yes, I remember." Steele replied with a frantic smile.

Steele sat opposite Daniel and stared straight into his eyes. Steele's cold blue eyes began to frighten Daniel. "Steele, that's enough."

"I'm sorry Daniel, but I love to look at your blue eyes because I feel that we have something in common." Steele replied.

Steele walked over to Daniel and with a claw cut the rope on the boy's hands.

"Finally ... thank you." Daniel answered with gratitude.

"I had to do it because how would you walk?" Steele asked calmly.

"I don't need hands to walk." Daniel replied surprised.

"You are my son and you will do what I tell you!" Steele shouted.

"Stand on all fours." Steele asked calmly.

"No!" Daniel replied.

"Stand on all fours!" Steele shouted furiously.

Daniel, despite his aching leg, did what Steele ordered.

"Do you see how easy it is, son?" Steele asked happily.

Nicky came out of the kitchen. "What is going on here?

"Get out of here and don't disturb us in family moments!" Steele shouted.

The kitchen door closed again, and Steele was left alone with Daniel again.

...

At that time in a dog building.

"Dusty, why did you do this?" Kodi asked surprised.

"Because it was necessary, I didn't want my fath... Steele to hurt you." Dusty replied.

"Because you told him Daniel was here, Steele had kidnapped him." Kodi answered sadly.

"I'm sorry, Kodi, I had no idea that Steele is such a psychopath." Dusty answered sadly.

"Why did you tell him that Daniel is here?" Kodi asked calmly.

"Because you gave him your food, I was afraid you would hurt yourself. I just worried about you." Dusty lowered her head so Kodi could not see her ashamed.

"You worried about me?" Kodi asked embarrassed.

"Yes, because I really like you." Dusty answered embarrassed.

"I really like you too." Kodi and Dusty hugged each other.

"Dusty, you must help me find Daniel." Kodi answered.

"You can not look for him, it will be better if you rest a little." Dusty covered Kodi with a blanket and lay down beside him.

"Daniel can handle Steele ... I hope so" Kodi said sadly and laid his head on the floor.
