Days after the incident at the park, Lily and Sarah kept going to the park to check if there were any changes and if they could get a spot on Joshua. There was nothing so it bothered them.
"Why would anyone think of doing something like that and for a whack reason?" Lily asked in frustration.
"Just say the word, it's not bad. Stupid reason. For a stupid reason"
"Still, no one should be treated that way. These guys never wanted to be homeless, the situation got them on the street. Now, you're taking them away from the street for something that absurd"
"Stupid, a stupid reason" Sarah repeated.
"Okay, where would they keep them if they are taking them off the street? I mean, there should be a plan or something for them, right?"
"Yeah, you're right"
"I'm just upset about this" Lily hissed and huffed out air in anger.
"Don't be" Sarah consoled. "I am as upset as you are but we don't know where they are at now. That's what we should be focused on getting, their location" she said "Could find Elvis too, you know?"
Lily thought for a while. "Sounds great, I just hope they are not treated badly"
"Me too"
They went to Sarah's house for some study time and prayed to GOD to show them where they could find Joshua. After study time, Sarah's dad took Lily home and she waved him goodbye as she entered her house.
"How was study time baby?" Daisy asked when Lily greeted her in the kitchen.
"It was good, let me drop my bag, freshen up, and come meet you" Daisy nodded and continued what she was doing.
By the time Lily came back, Daisy had already put the pie in the oven and was waiting for it to bake and waiting for Lily.
"I stood too long then" Lily pouts.
"At least, you're here to eat it, eh?" Daisy smiled.
"Yes, mum" Lily reciprocated the smile.
They stayed quiet for a long while before Daisy broke the silence.
"I heard about it" Lily looked up at her "The vacating of the homeless, I heard and I'm sorry to hear that" she managed a smile.
"I just wish I knew where Joshua is, just to see him at least and be sure he's fine"
"I'm sure he's fine and will find his way back to you soon" Daisy tried to assure her.
"You think so?" Daisy nods her head.
"We all know his job isn't done yet so, he can't just simply go" she smiled.
"Thank you, mum, maybe that's the reassuring I needed"
"Glad to help baby," she held her hand out for her to get into her embrace. Lily comes into her embrace and the two of them stay like that, enjoying each other's company and comfort.
"You think he'll come home soon?" Lily asked. Daisy sighed.
"I don't know" they leaned away from the hug "Lily, I don't know but what I am sure is that things will be good and will play out to be good too," she manages a smile which Lily reciprocates.
"I pray so mum"
Just then the timer sounded for them to take out the pie. "Let's see what we have here" Daisy wore some mittens "I hope it's good" she laughed.
"You're the cook, it will be good" Lily hyped.
"Keep hyping me girl, might turn out to be the best cook boss soon" Daisy took out the pie and faced her daughter. "Pie's ready"
