To show our support, we told her we won't go to work for the next week. Even Mrs. Kaden forgot that she work in the house and promised her the same thing.
Belinda joked about it.
We were not sure if we should laugh or just cry. So, when she pointed at us with what appeared to be a smile, we smiled too. She asked us to leave her room, Mrs. Kaden left first, then my dad, and then me. I have no idea if we spoke telepathically, but leaving my mother with her was the best thing we did.
"Good afternoon and this is Channel 2 news. It's been two weeks since we learned about the missing of Brandon Keys, the son of the C.E.O of the Keys. We are hereby pleading with you, anyone who has seen him or heard anything which can help us find him, kindly call the number below, it's free. The Keys are known for keeping their lives secret."
I pause. Just as I always did when I began watching the damn news about Brandon's disappearance.
