Leonel started to count in his head, of the seconds that passed by after the creak in the floor boards had passed. With every second he started to relax, nothing was happening. The place was safe. He let out a sigh of relief as he figured out that the beast was not there, but he suddenly remembered that was a bad thing. If the beast wasn't around that meant that his father wasn't around either. He looked at the ground for a few moments wondering if he could get to any other abandoned buildings in the area fast enough to save his father. If he [i]could[/i] save his father. He just remembered how bad of an idea this was, and he couldn't exactly remember why he had decided to do something so dumb in the first place. Sure, he wanted to save his dad and that was the only family he had left, but there was no guarantee he could just walk out alive with his father. That was the least likely outcome ever.

He looked up again, and looked around one last time. He gasped when he saw exactly who he was trying to find, there was his father unconscious, and laying on the floor. Without even thinking, he ran up to him and knelt down next to him. "Dad...dad...wake up!" Leonel shook his father gently and tried to wake him up. Everything that had made him frightened to come into the abandoned building in the first place had completely vanished from his mind. He found who he had been looking for and that was what brought a sudden smile to his face. He thought he was victorious. He thought that this could change everything, maybe they could just leave the government and live like normal people.

His father's eyes opened slowly, and there had been a small smile that had came with it. It lasted for maybe a few moments before the doctor realized that he wasn't at home and that his head ached. He quickly realized what was going on and looked around for the beast that had taken him. He sat up and grabbed his son by the shoulders, "Leonel, what are you doing here? Run, get far away from this place," He whispered rather harsh and urgently.

"Wh-what?" Leonel questioned, confused about what his father was so panicked about. "Dad, I came here to save you. They weren't going to do anything about you missing and they knew that a beast had taken you. They were just going to let you get killed, I had to come and save you."
