Parental Concerns

– CHAPTER THIRTY SIX –

Back at the Clarke residence, Mr. and Mrs. Clarke sat around the kitchen table. Mr. Clarke had arrived home late from work and had just finished dinner. Mrs. Clarke worried about the children being out so late and particularly Keegan because of his recent adventure.

 “Jack, if they aren’t home in thirty minutes I’ll phone the Randall’s.” Mrs. Clarke said. “I‘m not worried about the older kids. Its just Keegan I’m worried about. I don’t want him getting sick at the beginning of his vacation.”

 Mr. Clarke patted his wife on the shoulder and in a mock English accent said. “Look love. Don’t worry.”

 Then “ If Keegan is with the older kids he’s perfectly OK. Give them till 10:00 which is Jackie and Cody’s curfew and if they aren’t home then I’ll call up the Randall’s or the Robinson’s. Now where’s my newspaper?”
