Life In Letters

L is for Lying

Tony watched as his teenaged son grab his bag and made his way towards the door. It was a Friday night and Anton was going to spending the night with his best friend Adam Miller. His wife Ellie had just joined him in the living room. Their daughter Sophia was in her room doing her homework.

"Goodbye." Anton said to his Dad. It was the first time that he had lied to his parents and he kind of felt bad. He and his friend Adam were going to go to a party. Adam's parents thought that he was going to be spending the night at his house and his parents thought that he was spending the night at Adam's.

"Goodbye son." He said as he watched him walk out the door never knowing that he was being lied to. He knew that he was an investigator, but he never thought that one of his children would lie to him. He turned to his wife and kissed her and then turned on the TV to watch a movie. They were halfway into the movie when Adam's Mom Patricia called.

"I need to talk to Adam he forgot his phone."

"What do you mean?" asked Tony.

"Adam's spending the night at your house and he forgot his phone."

"No, Anton was spending the night with Adam." Tony said to Patricia and then he put it together. "They lied to us."

"Anton told me that he was spending the night with Adam and Adam told you that he was spending the night here."

"Where did they go?"

"I don't know, but I'm going to find out." He knew for a fact that Anton had taken his phone.

"Okay, call me when you get them."

"I will." He said as he hung up and then dialed again. "Hey, McGee I need a favor. I need you to find out where my son is. Anton told us that he was spending the night at Adam's house and Adam's Mom called asking for Adam. Both boys lied to us and I want to know where they are."

"Okay, I'll check right now." McGee said as he started typing. "Found it. He's at 5423 Dresden Lane."

"Thank you, McGee." He said as he hung up and then grabbed the keys and made his way towards the car. He turned into the driveway and saw cars all over the place. He got out and made his way towards the house. There was loud music and he knew that there was a party in progress. He opened the door and walked inside and found his son and his friend.

"Anton, what do you think you're doing?"

"Dad, what are you doing here?"

"Getting you and Adam out of here. Where are the parents?"

"They are gone."

"Come on boys. Let's go." He made his way outside and then called the other parents and they too made their way towards the house and gathered their children.

Anton was grounded, had his gaming and computer privileges taken away. He had said he was sorry and told his parents that he would never lie to them again.
