Lucas’s concerns
Concerned about some unusual talks he had heard between his father and a new friend, Roger, Lucas came to me one day.
Though his senses warned him something was wrong, he had attempted to dismiss it. Mom, do you know who Roger is?
His eyes full of concern, he questioned. I shook my head to hide the turbulence within me. Tell me everything you heard, Lucas, I said.
His anxiety matched my own mounting fear.

Father’s unusual promise
Lucas had sensed something strange even though Markon had assured him of a fantastic trip. Mom, that did not seem right.
Lucas said, “He kept looking over his shoulder and whispered a lot.” Roger’s name set off a bell, but I couldn’t identify it.
My head flew, attempting to link apparently random and enigmatic dots. I told Lucas we would be alright, but my will to find the truth became stronger.
This was for Lucas’s protection as much as a battle for my future.
