Jack woke up laying on the hard, chair wood bench rested outside Crews house, freezing in the crisp winter air. He was covered only by his jacket, laying on him. The sun was perfectly settled amongst the trees.
"Jack. Jack are you awake?" Ms. Kim asked. She stood over him, poking him with a confused look on her face.
"Now I am." Jack replied, looking a bit annoyed.
"Have you see Crew?" She asked, starting to search the yard as it was coated in specks on snow.
"Yeah he's right-" He turned to the side, expecting to see Crew sleeping next to him, but there was only an empty bowl of popcorn, which was weird because he swear he didn't eat it all last night. Must've been Crew. "He's gone." "I knowith a sigh of distress she entered into the house and picked up her phocallin
"I know." Ms. Kim turned to Jack, with a sigh of distress she entered into the house and picked up her phone, calling the school "Maybe he went to school early. Maybe." Charlotte and Cambrie were already munching on cereal, looking confused and suspicious.
"That's the only thing I can think of. Uh- you checked your house right? I'm guessing?" Jack awkwardly questioned.
"About five times over." She nodded, sounding scared in her voice.
"Uhm yes this is Kim Carson, have you seen uh- Crew Carson by any chance. I don't know if he stopped by or whatever." Ms. Kim wondered, with anxiety pulsing through her. Jack couldn't tell what the person through the other line said, but he was a sure it wasn't good, because Ms. Kim frowned. "Oh yeah it's fine. Sorry I just though- yeah ok thanks." She hung up the phone and looked at all of us.
"No luck?" Jack asked. His mind raced with ideas of where could've gone, but all of them fell fatal.
"It's fine, you need to get to school though." She ordered, running to the garage in a panic. Jack felt a hard kick in his stomach. What if Crew is gone? Is it all his fault? Stop. We don't even know yet. He looked back at this house in uncertainty as he and Charlotte grabbed there backpacks and headed into the car.
