The Bird That Almost Got Away Chapter 10
That shouldn't be too much of a problem for Bruce to tell his wife Ellen, that their son Ethan is missing. He knew he had to tell her, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. The reason was simple Ethan was a momma's boy, Ellen loved their little boy with all her heart. Don't get me wrong Bruce loved their little boy too with all his heart. With his wife Ellen still looking at him with the same worried look on her face and in her eyes. Bruce turned around and put both hands on her shoulders and said to her "Ellen I need to tell you something,can we talk in our bedroom." Ellen merely nodded and began to climb the stairs to their bedroom with Bruce following right behind her. Halfway up the stairs Bruce suddenly said to himself while silently cursing under his breath. "Why did I leave Ethan's books and those bird feathers on the bed where Ellen is sure to see them" Bruce thought mentally smacking himself in the head. Once they get to their bedroom, Bruce closes the door. As he does that just as he suspected, his wife Ellen seen the books and bird feathers on the bed. She picks them up just as Bruce turns around from locking the door. Ellen then said to Bruce "Is Ethan home yet?".
When she didn't get an answer from her husband she said "Bruce answer me." Ellen then watched as her husband Bruce came to sit down beside her on the bed. Then Bruce pulled her into his lap, that's when Bruce heard his wife say to him "Bruce what's going on." Bruce didn't say anything, that's when Ellen said again "Bruce what's going on, your scaring me here." Ellen suddenly felt her husband's breath on her ear as he said those dreadful words that no mother or wife wanted to hear. Bruce told her those words "Ethan's been kidnapped." That's all it took for Ellen to breakdown in her husband Bruce's arms. All the while mumbling no and why, all the while Bruce tried to calm her down soothing her.
