It was worrying that his mother felt strongly enough about this that she planned to go and find his father at work. But at the same time it was reassuring that she was willing to go so far to protect them, he felt safe in the knowledge that she had the matter under control. After all if there was anything his mother was good at it was control, everything was planned and deliberate from dinner to schedules to the organisation of knives.
He waits whilst she gets ready, just watching the tin with the vial in it. He doesn't want to let it out of his sight. Not until she returns and it is safely in her handbag.
He worries about her going alone, but he won't insult her by insinuating she can't protect herself. She can and it is not that far to the torture mill. Her orders get another nod.
