CHARLES: Hi Mom!.
(His mother stands up and hugs him)
MOTHER: How was school?.
CHARLES: It was OK, but, I still miss Tim a lot.
MOTHER: Let’s not talk about that anymore.
CHARLES: Do you think he’s fine where he is now?.
(His mother doesn’t answer)
MOTHER: Do you have homework?.
CHARLES: Mom, I asked you a question.
(The phone rings. Charle’s mother answers)
MOTHER: Hello. Oh, Hi Susan. How are you?. (There’s silence) What!. How did they find out?. That’s impossible!. (There’s silence) Are you sure?. (There’s silence) No, I won’t tell him anything. But, do they know who did it, where he is, or who took him away?. (There’s silence) Good, call me as soon as you can.
(She hangs up the phone)
CHARLES: What is it mother?.
MOTHER: It’s nothing, don’t worry.
CHARLES: Mom, can I go to the park?. Scott and Jason will be there practicing for Saturday’s game.
MOTHER: Sure, you can go just don’t come too late.
CHARLES: I won’t. Bye mom.
(Charles leaves)
