With Audrey & Walter.
Audrey dials Mindy's number.
Walter:Sweetie what are you doing?
Audrey:Calling Mindy.
Walter:Why?
Audrey:She knows something about our kid.
Walter:We have Three kids.
Audrey:She knows something about one of the boys.
Walter:How do you even know that much?
Audrey: Drake.
Walter:He never was that good at keeping secrets was he?
Audrey:No.
Walter:Ok. I have a better idea. Why not ask Josh before you call Mindy?
Audrey:Because Josh is more loyal then Drake & Drake wouldn't budge.
Mindy answers the phone.
Mindy:Mindy speaking.
Audrey:Mindy it's Mrs.Parker.
Mindy:Hi. Sounding very nevrous.
Audrey:I get the impressing that you know something about one of my kids more specifically one of my sons. Whatever you know please tell me.
Mindy:Mrs.Parker I really don't think it's my place to tell you no matter how much I wish I could.
Audrey:Mindy please. I'm really worried.
Mindy sighs & takes a very deep breath.
Mindy:It's Drake.
She proceeds to tell Mrs.Parker about what she had seen in his notebook.
Audrey:Thank you for telling me Mindy.
She drops the phone & drops to the floor sobbing.
Walter hangsup with Mindy & puts the phone back on the cradder.
Walter:Sweetheart what's wrong?
Audrey couldn't talk.
Walter hugs her & strokes her hair.
About 17 minutes later she's calmed down enough to talk to him.
Audrey: Drake doesn't feel like he belongs. We're to busy with work & Meghan, Josh is busy with Mindy & Meghan only cares about her pranks. They were worried he was hurting himself, they found out he wasn't.
Upstairs in the boy's room.
Josh: Drake what happened to your arm?
Drake:Nothing. He pulls his arm as far away as he could from his brother's reach & eyes.
Josh: Drake!
Drake heads downstairs.
Josh follows him.
Josh:You lied to Mindy & to me.
Drake doesn't answer.
Josh:Let me see your arm please?
Drake:No.
Back in their parents room.
Audrey:What's going on?
Walter:I don't know, this go find out.
They go downstairs.
Walter:Boys what's going on?
Josh: Drake as something to saw you.
Drake:What? No I don't.
Josh:Oh yes you do. Mom, dad check out his arm.
Audrey:Which arm?
Josh:Right.
Walter want over to his stepson.
Drake tries to pull his arm away but isn't fast enough.
The room is very quiet. His parents & Josh are in complete shock. Drake who was afraid to even breathe let alone move.
