Mr. Jones didn't show up to Band today. It frightens me.

The substitute would've let us know if he was sick or injured. (Probably not, because he could pretty much assume we'd jump at opportunities to make it better, which could be annoying sometimes.) I hope he's not injured, at least. I'm pretty sure he isn't.
But, why was he gone then? But here's the question that was burning in my mind in the first place:
