"Jim are you coming down?" Jim's mother called from the door, noticing Jim staring out at the stars. He turned to her.
"Huh? Oh sorry mom, its ok I'm fine" He mumbled with a soft smile on his face, Sarah knew it was fake so she walked over and sat down next to him.
"What's wrong Jim?" she asked putting a hand on his shoulder. Jim looked at her and without warning, he grabbed onto her, grasping terribly hard. And then Sarah heard the sob's coming from her son. Sarah sat there speechless. Before rubbing his back in an attempt to calm him down.
"I...I miss him so much mom." He paused as he let out a heartbreaking sob that nearly made Sarah cry herself.
"Shh, it's alright Jim." Although she wasn't exactly sure as to what she was trying to console him for. "Who do you miss Jim?"
"S...Silver. He...He was like an f...father to me!" Sarah stood there frozen, then smiled. Glad that it wasn't his father who he suddenly missed; as she hoped too never see him again. She'd only seen Silver once after Jim came back, he'd stopped by to apologise for the incident at the benbow, and then paid for it.
Shh, there, there Jim," then she had a sudden idea "How about we go and find him?" she asked waiting for an answer. She wanted to find Silver as much as Jim did. Jim looked at her with his eyes a mixture of confusion and excitement.
"Bu…But Mum, How?" he asked, ready to jump out of his seat. Sarah smiled.
"Well, he's a cyborg alien, he shouldn't be that hard to find!" She knew it would be difficult, but hey, if it made Jim happy, she'd try. Before she knew it, she had a lap full of teenager.
"Oh thank you, Thank you Mom, Thank you so much!" He praised, overjoyed. Sarah listened to him and felt her heart soar. It didn't take a lot to make Jim smile, but Sarah's face fell as she realised that she hadn't really done a lot in the first place. But she hadn't done a lot in the first place. But she vowed to make that change. First by finding John Silver
