So they were out all day , and when mom and Hagen got home around 3:30 , we discovered Cricket was gone . Needless to say , I FREAKED OUT . I thought he 'd gotten attacked by a nest of yellow jackets and had crawled up under the porch and was hurt , but I had to leave at 4:30 to go to work .

Question: What may be the reason for going to work instead of looking for animal ?
Answer: They hoped the animal ran away .They did n't care much for the animal .They needed the job .None of the above choices .
