"Don't forget I need you to pick me up at the Hospital at three!"

"Yeah, I know, I know, I know..."

"Mark?"

"Yeah?"

"Be careful."

"Always."

"Love you. Gotta go!"

"Was he with anyone?"

"Did he have anything with him?"

"He hasn't really had a chance to make many friends yet."

"He had his camera bag."

"That's where he was going. To take photos"

"He's a great photographer.

"I don't know if that helps." (chokes up)

"Sure it helps. Gives us something to look for."

"So it's just the two of you?"

"Mark's father left before he was born."

It's always been just the two of us."

"I see.'

"Diana would you mind if I took a look around in Mark's room?"

"Why?"

"It might give us something that would lead us to him."

"A clue. A hint..."

"...breadcrumbs"

"You know when we first moved here I thought we were finally safe."

"I used to get so scared living in the city."

"Mark would be out all hours of the night with his camera."

"I thought I could finally relax."

"Sheriff?"

"Yes?"

"Did you find anything?"

"No I'm afraid not, um..."

"Let me take this hold on."

Go for Cologne."

"Allen?"

"Calm down. What is going on?"

"He did what?"

"Sheriff, what's goin on?"
