Delia and Andy weren't home yet so Ephram and Madison decided to go ahead and make dinner without them, thinking that they'd be home shortly or would call if they were going to be too much later.
Around 9:30, Ephram got a call on his cell phone from his dad, he could hear Delia in the background trying to muffle her laughter.
"Dad, where are you guys?!" asked Ephram concerned.
"that's just it, son, we don't know!"
Suddenly Delia was on the phone, she had grabbed it from her dad, "dad doesn't like asking for directions, so we are loster than lost! He wouldn't even get directions from Nonny, and we got lost on our way there!"
Suddenly Andy was back on the phone, he grabbed it away from Delia, "Most things are closed now so its not like I can stop and ask for directions."
Ephram put his hand over the phone and spoke to Madison, "dad's lost…" he shook his head and tried not to smile, "to think, he used to live here for most of his life, and now he's lost. Figures, put him in a small town for a few years and things are ass backwards for him once he goes back to the city." He handed the phone to Madison
"Andy, its Madison. Do you have any idea of where you are?"
Andy looked around, he had parked the car in an empty parking lot, "I don't see anything, except a bum with a shopping cart full of boxes…" Delia locked the door and sunk into her seat, she wasn't much amused anymore, besides, this was New York, and you never know, bums could have guns.
"Look up at the skyline, Andy, do you see any bright lights?"
Andy looked up, "you know, it's a good thing there aren't many trees around here, because if it was anything like Everwood, you wouldn't be able to see a thing! Yeah, I see some lights."
"Drive towards the lights, it will lead you into the city. Once you get into the city then you should be able to get back to our house."
"Thanks, Madison! You're a life saver."
Suddenly Delia was on the phone, she grabbed it from her dad, "if we don't call you back or see you in an hour, we're probably dead."
The two hung up and Andy headed towards the lights. Madison hung up, "your dad is definitely a small town guy. For a neurosurgeon, and have lived here in the past, you'd think he'd have figured out that looking up at the skyline would bring him back to the city."
Bright laughed, "why do you think we flew here? At first he was thinking of driving, each of us taking turns, but he could barely read the map!"
"That's my dad for you" replied Ephram as everybody made their way into the living room to watch some TV, "he's actually quite blonde on the inside."
Madison pushed him playfully, "excuse me!?!"
Ephram realized what he said, then realized that Madison and Bright were both blonde, "sorry! That came out wrong!"
"Yeah," replied Bright throwing Ephram on the couch and jumping on him, "just as wrong as this will come out" and he threw a pillow at him. Jess joined in the festivities, throwing pillows at everybody as Madison joined in, "you better be glad we don't have any breakable objects!"
Ephram grabbed her and pulled her on top of him and the two fell to the floor, all the while laughing. After a while they got back to watching TV, then about 20 minutes later, the doorbell rang. Ephram got up to answer it and when he opened the door, a police officer was standing there, "Hi, Ephram Brown? Is your Father Dr. Andy Brown? Sister, Delia Brown?"
Ephram's face turned from a smile to panic stricken, "what's wrong!?"
"Well…"
