^{"Let's talk about Jorden."

"Okay."

"Were the two of you close?"

"Yes... We're the youngest two."

"Alright. And that sort of bonded the two of you?"

"Mhm. He's my best friend. He always sticks up for me when people are mean in school and stuff."

"Does that happen often? You being bullied by other kids in school?"

"No. Not a lot. More when we were younger."

"Why? What were they making fun of?"

"Our last name. Our family. They called me Feelie when I got upset. But then Jorden would show up and make them go away."

"How?"

"Huh?"

"How did he make them go away?"

"Oh. I don't know. He'd tell them to leave me alone."

"Was he ever violent?"

"No. Well, once he pushed a guy in the chest, but-"

"I see."

"Normally he would just tell them to leave, though. He looked out for me."

"Then I bet you're having a hard time accepting that he may have ran away."

"He didn't."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"How? Did you see something else happen?"

"No. But Jorden wouldn't run away."

"Really? Because I've heard from everyone else that he's been a bit difficult the last few years. That he's been getting into trouble in school, and fighting a lot with your dad, that it started around when your mom got sick."

"He wouldn't run away!"

"But do you know he didn't? For sure??"

"It's not uncommon. A lot of children who've experienced the death of a parent-"

"I don't want to talk about Mom. I want to talk about Jorden. I want to talk about my brother! Who is missing! He-"

"-doesn't want to be found. Understand? We found his shoe several miles past the border. Several eye witnesses claimed to see him around the outskirts. And then there was the whole incident last summer- he ran, Keelie. He left."

"Wouldn't he need his shoes to run?"

"Probably got spooked and lost it running away from something."

"What? No! How is that- how is that the explanation you're comfortable with?"

"Alright, fine. What else could have happened, then? What alternative do you believe we haven't already considered?"

"I don't know! Maybe he lost his way! Or maybe someone took him, or maybe he was forced to leave, or, or-"

"By whom?"

"A stranger! It could be anyone, even-"

"Even?"

"An Alcott."

"Oh, great, this again. I've heard this from everyone I've talked to from your family. We checked them already! The Alcott family has an air-tight alibi. They've moved on from whatever petty rivalry your families used to have. Your family should do the same."

"What are we going to do about my brother?"

"Everything we've been doing- it's everything we can do. Missing person posters and hoping for the best."

"I'd like to go home now, please."}
