The next day, John was sitting on the living room couch when Lauren walked into the living room,
"Hi," she said and smiled at him,
"Hi," he replied,
"What are you doing?" she asked and sat on a couch in the living room,
"Nothing, just watching the news, trying to find out what the world is saying about me,"
She sighed, stood up and picked the remote on the table, then she changed the TV channel,
"Hey, I was watching that," he said,
"You always watch that, let's watch a movie at least for the first time," she said,
John smiled,
"You have no idea what it feels like to be wanted,"
"And you have no idea what it feels like to be hiding a wanted person,"
He smiled,
"Alright, we both don't know what it feels like,"
"Let's just watch a movie. I don't watch the news, but thanks to your presence I'm now a journalist," she said and he laughed, "So no news today, let's just watch a movie," she said and stood up, then she walked to him and sat next to him on the couch, "John, I just want you to stop worrying," she said and they both looked at each other.
"Thanks, Lauren," he said and looked at the TV.
A while after they were watching a movie, John sighed,
"Lauren, can I ask you for a favour?" he said,
"Of course," she said and glanced at him curiously,
"I was wondering if I could borrow your phone,"
"Alright but why?"
"I need to speak to my Mom, she's going to be worried about me for sure,"
"Oh, that's true, I'll go get my phone, it's charging upstairs," she said and headed up to her room.
Margaret stood by the window looking outside with her eyes filled with tears. While she was looking outside, Christain walked to her and stood behind her,
He sighed,
"Magret are you still crying?"
"It's been a month since I heard from my baby," she said,
"Honey, John is okay wherever he is,"
"How did you know?" she asked and turned, "It's been over a month since we heard from our son and you think I'll believe he's okay?"
"Magret I watch the news every day, if he's caught we'll know, besides this case can't still be open if he's dead or something," he said but she remained quiet and called his number, but it was switched off. She sighed and walked to Christain then he hugged her.
While they were hugging, her phone started vibrating, she then let go of Christain and looked at it, It was an unknown number. She picked up the call and put it in her ear,
"Hello," she said,
After a few seconds of silence, there was a response,
"Hello Mum," he said and she was so shocked to hear it was her son speaking from the other side of the phone.
