Tray rattles - cups and spoons and tea things.

Spoons clink in cups as it is stirred.

MRS ATKINS: Here we go. Nice cup of tea for us all. Now,
where are we?

DS SHORT: When exactly did you realise he had gone

missing?

MRS ATKNS: About three days ago, I think. We thought he

was just staying over with a friend when he
didn't come home the first night. Then, when

he didn't get in touch the next day.

DS SHORT: What happened just before that? Often, it's a
trivial event that sets them off. Teenagers

tend to blow things out of proportion.

Tissue is pulled out of box and MRS A blows nose.

She slurps from cup.

MRS ATKINS: Umm. We had a stupid row. But I really don't
think that would've made Jack run away.

DS SHORT: I know this must be very upsetting, but can you

remember what the argument was about?

3. Is there a flashback noise? If so, I want one.

Maybe some whooshy thing?
