An Unusual Means

**

Midnight, 1:00.

Jaquan was still sitting at the entrance of the vegetable market. He didn't know where Stony was. After a long-time searching, he got nothing. People tried to persuade him to go back to rest. But he couldn't sleep. At home, Felice's eyes were red from crying. She cried a lot. Because of her leg injury, she couldn't come out to help. The only thing she could do was to lock herself in her room. She hadn't come out all afternoon.

Allen sighed on the sofa. He was old. He was not as energetic as young men. He was out searching for Stony all afternoon. And he was exhausted. But, still, he didn't find Stony. However, he didn't want to stop. He was afraid that if he stopped searching, he would never see Stony again.

Stony, his grandson.

Depression was all over the house. Jaquan forced himself to eat something. Then, he came out of the house and walked to the vegetable market.

He kept thinking of Emma's words "It's none of your business."
