Eric, Justin, and Michael arrived at the Ark a few minutes later. News choppers were flying overhead, and Eric looked up with mild annoyance. "That didn't take long." He murmured. There was also a crowd of civilians that were attempting to approach the Ark. Eric and Michael ignored the crowd and pushed towards the Ark. Jessica was standing there, her arms crossed as she glared at the trio.
"Hello, father. Check your phone lately?" She hissed, her eyes dark with anger. "I see you are alive and well. It would have been nice to know that a few hours ago."
Michael and Justin tried to escape the lashing, but Jessica grabbed both of them by their ears. "Oh No, you two aren't going anywhere either. Erica is worried sick, Justin. So is Ayeolla, Michael!"
The three men took a few minutes to call their significant others. After a thorough lashing from their partners, and many promises not to do it again, it was time to get back to business.
Eric called Milano.
