“What the hell do you mean one is missing it’s not like you just miss placed a shoe we have lost a child Connor.”

I could hear the panic in Libby’s voice as we stood there trying to decide what to do. Fuck, it had been discovered that the missing child was Trey one of Shane and Carmen’s boys.

The weird thing was we all seemed to have frozen in our panic immobile and despondent until we noticed the noise level over by the elevators and turned to see a very still looking Alice being passed through the doors and down onto a stretcher before having an oxygen mask placed over her face.

With that it seemed the trance was broken and in a flurry of activity we ran to find what was lost before anyone likely to cut of out oxygen supplies was aware that it was even missing.

I really was getting to old for this shit and from the look on Peggy’s face I was not the only one feeling so right now.

Outside the hotel:-

We had been dropped of a short way from the hotel and stopped to get fish and chips on the way home. The afternoon had been amazing, Holly was amazing smart and loving if a little unsure of herself we had spent the afternoon starting what I hoped would be the long process of getting to know one another.

The interviews had gone well and the time the social worker had spent observing us also seemed to have impressed her, Andy had stayed calm through all of the overly personal and intrusive questions and had been great with Holly we had been as a family for what I knew in my heart would only be the first time of many and were now walking in a contented silence eating a thoroughly English food out of the paper it came in headed back to the hotel that we assumed would be empty of our friend as we thought they were at the Zoo.

Truth be told we were both in a world of our own and I am sure if he hadn’t spoken we would have walked straight past him. Luckily the small voice caught our attention.
