I try not to worry, but my mind keeps wondering what may be occurring downstairs. I decide to text my mom.

Reply:Relaxing. Read a book in the back bedroom on the way here.
Message:Did Dad tell you they found Alfreita?
Reply:He did, but not much more. He’s been wkg in his officefor a couple hrs now.
Message:Chase, too.
Reply:Hope they get done soon.
Message:Better get back to work. Good night!
Reply:Night, Sweetie.
I scour through the emails, reviewing the informational items and placing the things that need to be done into my calendar. I sign off, slip under the covers and decide to read a book, but find myself rereading the same paragraph again for the third time, unable to concentrate wondering what’s happening downstairs. My phone signals an incoming message from Jenny.
