             Junior had found a familiar face. Her name was Tilly Huffman, Junior knew her as Miss Huffman, she was rushing through the corridor, blinded by a single purpose.

             'Miss Huffman', Junior called out, rushing past people to catch up to her.

             She paused, her concentration broken. She wasn't sure she had heard her name. She decided she hadn't, it was her tiredness, she continued walking.

             'Miss Huffman', Junior called again, gaining ground on her. Seconds later he reached her, tapping his hand on her shoulder. She shook violently and turned to him.

             'Junior', she smiled, her smile quickly changed to concern, 'are you okay?'

             'Yes, Miss Hoffman. I'm looking for mum'

             'Oh. That's good. She's here somewhere', she saw the relief on his face. She put her hand on his shoulder, 'she's fine. It's just been one of those days....actually worse than one of those days', she added attempting to diminish the gravity of their situation.

             'How can I find her?'

             She thought for a moment. 'It'll probably be better if you stay in one place and I'll send her to you. If you can find a seat, over there', she pointed to a waiting area, with around thirty seats, all of which looked as though they were taken.

              'Okay Miss Huffman. Thanks'

              She smiled, touched his hand and left.

              Junior turned around, Clarise and the little girl had just caught up to him.

              'We have to wait', he said, staring a little too long in Clarise's green eyes. He changed his attention to the little girl, by her side. 'You Okay', she looked up at him and nodded.
