21. INT JACKS HOME, LIVING ROOM NIGHT 21:00

THE WHOLE FAMILY ARE IN THE LIVING ROOM WITH THE POLICE AND A FEW OF THE NEIGHBOURS. JACK'S MUM IS CRYING

POLICE JAMES:

Mr Day, when was the last time you saw your son?

DAD:

I really cannot remember, I think it was yesterday evening. We were in my office working on a formula and then I locked up and we both went to bed. In fact he went upstairs to his room to study.

POLICE JAMES:

Ok thank you Mr Day.

POLICE JAMES TURNS TO JACK'S MUM

And you Mrs Day, when was the last time you saw Jack?

JACKS MUM IS IN A FLOOD OF TEARS, AND GRABS A TISSUE FROM THE COFFEE TABLE

MUM:

I'm a terrible mother, I can't believe Jack's gone missing.

POLICE JAMES:

Mrs Day I need you to concentrate, when was the last time you saw Jack?

MUM:

Oh I don't know, I thought I saw him in his room this morning. I definitely heard his voice. I only tucked him into bed yesterday and now he is out there lost and alone.

JACK'S DAD REACHES OVER AND HUGS HER

DAD:

That's ok dear we will find him, it will all be alright.

POLICE JAMES:

That's right Mrs Day, I have my best men working on this case. We will return Jack to you, and in no time soon either.

MUM:

Thank you officer.
