"Quick! Go to my wife and tell them to get into the car. Have Anna take the steering wheel while you stay guard outside the car or on it, anywhere! Just stay guard!" Malachi gave an instruction to Leo quickly.
This was what he could think of within less than a dozen seconds of time to make up a plan relating to the situation.
As for whether the plan he later made, in the end, to have his family members and Leo's, aside from him who would remain with his son, was a good plan, Malachi had no idea, but that was the only plan that was coming to mind.
Of course, it wasn't that his wife and Leo would suddenly abandon him the moment the car engines came to life. No, they were only getting ready.
Malachi had expected an issue would appear with his wife and, as expected, just seconds after Leo told her what he had instructed them to do, she immediately began to make her way in his direction before being brought to a halt by Leo.
