The crowd of people all came together, until she couldn't she his face anymore. Kris ran into the crowd to where the man was standing, but he was gone. Kris looked around franticly, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Junior saw Kris and ran up to her, "Are you okay?" he asked as he looked at her, "What's wrong?"
"He was right here," she said.
"Who was?" he asked confused.
Kris looked up into Junior's eyes. "Kerry..."
Fear struck Junior face he is dead, Junior thought. "He couldn't have been." he said to Kris.
"But he was," Kris said back. "I swear I saw him! I thought he was dead too, but with the phone calls and now this."
Junior stepped back, "Phone calls?"
Kris totally forgot that she never told him. And she could see with the expression on his face, he wasn't to pleased about it. "Ya, phone calls." she said.
"From who?" Junior asked.
"Well, that's just it I don't really know." Kris replied in a stammer.
Junior didn't know what to think, should he be mad at her for not telling her or should he be worried that Kerry was really alive.
Jean was getting terrified now, Todd was nowhere to be seen. No one has seen him since this morning. "He said he was meeting friends," Jean told Pablo. They were back at the house, and everyone was out looking for him.
Dani was with Matt looking around the east side of town. Kris and Junior were together looking for Todd around the west side of town. But there was complete silence in the car. Both wanted the other to break the silence, but neither knew.
Kris couldn't stand it anymore. "I'm sorry," she said.
Junior looked at her. "For what?" he asked.
At that moment Kris got confused, she thought he was mad at her. "For not telling you." she finally said.
"It's okay," he said in a meaningful voice. "I mean, it's non of my business."
"That's not why I didn't tell you. The truth is I didn't tell anyone." she said.
"Why not?" he asked.
"I wasn't even sure if it was him." she said as she looked down. "I wanted to know the truth before I told anyone."
Junior understood, and respected that. But he still wished she told him earlier so he wouldn't feel so bad.
Kris felt like everything was okay with them now, so she continued to look for Todd. She looked out the window at a bunch of kids. "Stop."
"What?" Junior said.
"Stop the car." Kris said.
Junior stopped, not knowing why.
Kris got out and approached the kids. Junior got out and followed her, he stood right next to Kris.
"Hello." Kris said.
The kids turned around, they looked about Todd's age. And Kris recognized a few from the dinner that morning when she dropped off Todd.
"Have any of you guys seen a boy named Todd Ritter?" Kris asked.
The kids all looked at each other in worry, then without warning the all took off in different directions.
