“Do you have any idea at all where he might have gone,” I asked Christian’s
mom.
“No idea,” she answered. “I thought that he would have went to your house.”
“Well, could he have gone to Nate’s or Nick’s,” my mom asked.
“I don’t think so,” Christian’s mom said. “I was thinking that he could possible
