I triedlookin' for her, but nope! Just gone. Like she never even existed." Ah...ahh. Mmhm. I see. I gotta go talk to my son, try to get him toengage a... bit more." Hastily Mac made his way to Andrew who looked up fromhis phone. "Ah, you finally picked up on it." Come with me." Mac dragged Andrew behind a corner."One of the dads here is a conspiracy theorist. Last time we were here hesaw your tentacle form...so be on your guard. Don't draw any attention,am I clear?" "Yes dear." Dad" Yes dear. .. just ... " David struggled for words.
