Vince replied firmly, "None. Nothing of that nature will happen."

Rita wanted to ask if he would rush to her side if she, Karen, and Sadie were all in trouble, but she felt it would be too petty to ask. Seeing how exhausted her father was, she did not want to burden him further with such questions. Besides, she was afraid of his answer or hesitation.
