my son’s whereabouts. By the way Officer, do you have
anything to tell us?
Police officer: Actually, that’s the reason why I’m calling
you up. Mr. Mont, I’ve got news about your son. He’s
safe and sound. We found him at your sister’s house
working with your nephew Lionel. He told me he
couldn’t call you because he forgot his cell charger and
it was dead. Your niece Leah tried to call your wife, but
she just had her former phone number in her contact

in-law and she doesn’t know what her children are
doing.

help. I appreciate it.

Connor’s dad: My sons and my daughter are good at
