Flying from that awkward scene in the park to my bedroom took a lot of time but it finally happened. I laid on my back while Ryan hungrily nuzzled on his bottle of milk next to me. Even though my baby is in my arms right now, I couldn't get the awful ideas that something bad is happening to him out of my head.

Today was full of stress, from Ryan's disappearing to being alone in that park with George! Oh, George... I really expected anything from god other than making him Vinnie's boss. I guess that's why they always say ' the world is so small '... 

" Can I come in?" Chase asked as he opened the door to my room. I nodded and he did, he nervously ran a hand through his hair as he sat on the edge of my bed. " I'm so glad the nightmare is over, I was terrified!" he nervously spoke as he looked at Ryan over his shoulder. 

" Tell me about it!" I sighed. 

" I'm not trying to hop on your business but, who is this guy George or whatever?" he asked after a minute of silence.

" He's- He's some guy I met on the gym and he was there when Ryan disappeared!" I answered without getting into details. 

" Isn't it weird what did they say?" 

" What do you mean?" 

" The guy said he found Ryan across the street, and the woman said she found him on the other side of the park!" 

" Well, she must've taken him with her out of the park when she found him!" I said. 

" But isn't it weird that she didn't see you looking for him? while she clearly said she found him crying and calling yours and uh ... his father's name?" he asked once again. I didn't find an answer for this and when I was about to answer he interrupted me, " And how could Ryan get off of his stroller and go to the other side of the park while as you were saying you were gone for only one minute." 

" Go on?" 

" I mean! this is so complicated, is there a possibility in your mind that this was all someone's work just to freak you out?" he asked. 

" Chase, honey! life is much easier than that! I mean you're right all you said make sense but! maybe I just forgot to buckle him tightly into his stroller so he found a way to get out! and I know my son sometimes he can get too wild and run across the park." I explained ending my words with a yawn. 

" Liya said the same thing but- Jules! isn't that the same guy you went on a date with just before you get back with Vinnie?" he asked. " Don't look at me like that, Baron told me!" he added. 

" Hey, guys! Vinnie told me to come and tell you dinner is rea- what's wrong with you two?" Marshall inquired as he entered the room.
