Gone Son

Where is he?
Brittany jumped up from her pillow. Jason opened his eyes.
Isn't he here?
No! She screamed.
Jason was out of the bed. He ran to the garage.
Fuck!
Is he there?
NO!
OH MY GOD!
Where are you going? She shouted.
Jason ran to the basement and saw the empty sleeping bag.
I'm going to that stoner he hangs out with he screamed grabbing his keys.
He never does this Brittany screamed.
I know I know he shouted.
Jason drove like a maniac. He went by all his stoner buddies houses. He saw his car parked in a Visitor Parking spot. He dialed his cellphone
I found his car!
Is he there? Is he there?
No...it's locked!
Oh God Oh God Oh God
Maybe we should call the police.
I cant--
I'll go by McDonald's he shouted.
Jason talked to his boss. No one had seen his son. He was  just gone. He was murdered. He was dead. He had vanished. He had become one of those people on posters. HAVE YOU SEEN?
Jason felt like he was looking into a dark hole. No he was falling off a cliff. His cellphone rang.
Have you seen him? Brittany shouted.
No!
Oh he's dead I know it!
Calm down...hes not dead....
But Jason didn't believe it. He would be forever changed from this point on. He thought he might throw up He thought he might die. He drove in frantic circles around one neighborhood after another. Julie called him again.
We have to call the police he shouted
I just did. They have no record of him she screamed.
My God....My God.
His phone beeped.
It was his son.
WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?
Dad?
WHERE ARE YOU?
I...
WHERE ARE YOU?
I left you a text...
WHAT....WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?
His cellphone rang on the other line.
I found him he screamed
His wife started crying like she was going to die.
