After the appointment, the three of us headed home for dinner. The atmosphere in the car after my appointments always feel heavy like it's weighing down on everyone present.
Noah who was sitting in the front passenger seat, by his dad, turned to his father. "Dad? How's the hunt for Jake's dad going?"
Mr. Atkins peeked at me through the rear view mirror. "They're looking. Mr. Duncan said they have some leads but nothing definite. I'm sure when they have someone in mind, they'll suggest a blood test just to be sure."
I swallowed down the anxiety that was rising. Just think about the batting cages. I took a deep breath and reminded myself.
"What will happen after they find him though?" Noah asked. "I want the details. Like a step by step plan for if it happens."
