Page 26 - Student: dazed And Confused

DS SHORT: We've called or visited every one of his
contacts that you gave us. Our team have

followed up every lead we could dig up, and we
ruled out the possibility of abduction.

MRS ATKINS: Oh my goodness.

MR ATKINS: Calm down, love. He said it's not a

possibility.

DS SHORT: You told us he had a mobile phone. We checked

the number but we can't trace it.

MR ATKINS: His battery would've run out by now anyway.

DS SHORT: Are you sure there's nothing else you can tell
me that might help us find him?

MRS ATKINS: I don't thin - oh wait, he always said that he

hated being on his own when he was lonely.
That means he's gone somewhere busy, doesn't

it?

DS SHORT: It's certainly another possibility. I'll get

the team on it and we'll let you know what's
happening.

MRS ATKINS: And what are we supposed to do until then?

Just sit here and wait for him to come walking
through that door?

MR ATKINS: Please find him soon, officer. I can't sit

here and watch her cry over Jack once more.
