"Josh, Josh is that really you?" Rita came storming through the crowd. She stopped and looked at him for a brief moment and then pulled him in for a hug as the tears started to stream down their face. She pulled back and asked the obvious question "Is Mark with you?"
"No, but I think I know where he might be." Josh smiled at her felling his heart full with love for her "Mom".
She smiled at him "Son" and hugged him again.
"I really have to go get my mate, she might be in danger and then we can go see if Mark is where I think he is. I will give you instructions so you don't have to wait for me." He rubbed her shoulder trying to be supportive. He was going to be much more present for life
