𝖬𝖲．𝖫𝖠𝖭𝖠 𝖨𝖲 𝖮𝖴𝖱 𝖠𝖭𝖲𝖶𝖤𝖱．If anyone knows what happened to our father, it will be this woman. Her husband was the one who had our father's compass on his boat, so I truly believe that Ms. Lana holds some information that we── my brother and I── need to know. Well, I hope she has something useful to tell us. I need some real, concrete answers about where our dad is, especially after what just happened.
We walked into Ms. Lana's home and, while soaked and exhausted, uttered the words, "We need to know." We're now sat at her table, sipping on water while I bandage my wound, wrapping my entire lower half in thick cotton bandages. The slash on my skin stopped bleeding as the blood soaked into the bedsheet that I've disposed of know. Because I am a little paranoid of it bleeding all over again, I've gone over the top with the bandages.
Lana sits before us, hands around a coffee mug. She suspected that this day would come, that much I can tell from the way she looks at us with such sympathy in her eyes. She's about to tell us something horrible, I know she is.
"The night your father disappeared..." she begins, looking from me to my brother. "I came home early from work to find Scooter talking to Ward. Ward was in tears saying, 'I didn't wanna hurt him. I wasn't trying to hurt him. It was a mistake. It was stupid accident'." I swallow down my fear, afraid that the "accident" Ward was talking about resulted in my father not coming home.
"Your father apparently tried to change the deal on him and he wasn't going to let him so your father flipped out, and he didn't mean to hurt him," Lana tells us, voice wobbly. "Ward hurt your father, I don't know in what way but I know he did." I stare at the table in front of me, my mind running through thousands of scenarios── my father dying, my father alone and abandoned, my father lost at sea. Dad didn't come home because of Ward. I haven't seen my father in nine months because of Ward freaking Cameron.
She continues, staring at us but neither of us can look to her. "Scooter sat with him and told him to start the story from the beginning and so he did." Lana inhales carefully, and I suspect that the full story is one of pain and sadness.
