Chapter 2
Time In Flash

4:32 P.M.
Autumn's wind has just started blowing on me as I was walking along the sidewalk, then I looked around to see how everything was so perfect.
It all was a little hard to understand...well manicured lawns, no clouds in the sky, and perfectly built houses.
It felt very irregular to see because I had been there for three days. I saw the children rushing home from a long day of school to parents with open arms.
I was suppose to be in school also but I'm sure they would understand my reason to skip.

3:10 P.M.
The house where our main character has lived in for sometime with his foster parents is being visited by local police officers and a man in a beige trench coat. The man in the coat says to foster parents,
"Do you understand the penalty for letting kids skip school, and letting them leave without their parents and or guardians with them."
The foster parents shook their heads and the foster father smiled and said calmly,
"We didn't let him leave, he left on his own we couldn't stop him, he finally learned the truth."
"Truth about what?"The officer asked with curiosity.
"He learned that we are not his real parents, and left to find his real mother,"The foster mother said with a smile.
We couldn't stop him, it was not our place to.
The officer in beige said with a hint of aggressiveness,
"You don't understand, you two are his real parents!"
When his real mother left him, she gave him to you relinquishing any parental rights to him.
THAT IS YOUR REAL SON!
The foster father put his hands around his glasses, and a tears rolled down his eyes. The foster mother soon joined in. She said while weeping,
"We didn't want him to be sad we wanted him to find his parents so he could be happy, it is like an emptiness that we could not fill."
"She left him the first time... Why would you let her abandon him the second time,"The officer in beige said to them with a hint of sadness.
The foster mother burst into tears and the foster father said to her
"Jessica please don't cry."
She said to him in response,
"Thank you Dennis."
Soon after this revelation took place the officer and the foster parents talked for a few more minutes until he was satisfied with the information he needed.
"Wait," said Dennis.
Who are you anyway?
The man in beige said,
"My name is... Frank Johnson an investigator and a truancy officer."
I've done my job here and with that I'm off. You said he was in Metro City right?
"Yes, and the name of the woman he is looking for is Mirage," the foster father said with a sturdy voice.
Mirage or her real name Michelle–

"It's time to continue."I said with a smile.
As he walks away a rose pedal falls behind him.
