Chapter 13: Father-Son Talk and Reconciliation
Allen had no idea where Leon had gone; his calls went unanswered. In his anxiety, he even considered calling the police.

Chapter 10: Dinner Together and Opening Up
I didn’t leave the school immediately. It was just past four o’clock, and Leon would be out in less than an hour. Since it was Friday, Allen was originally supposed to pick him up. Now that I was here, I might as well wait and take him home, saving Allen the trip. I wandered around…
