Pulled back in (open)
He was in his office grading tests. Ezekiel had gotten used to working here. He no longer woke up at all hours to go solve crimes. He no longer had nightmares about dead people whose lives he hadn't saved or whose killers he just couldn't find. He was starting to find peace.

That peace was going to be interrupted. He answers the phone and his ex-wife is sobbing over the phone. "Mary. Jesus. Mary. Calm down sweetheart. What's wrong?"

She fell out of love with him. It wasn't the other way around. Though sometimes he wishes he fell out of love with her years before. It would have saved her so much trouble.

"It's our son. I don't know what happened. He hasn't come home from school Zeke," she confesses.

He freezes and almost drops the phone. "Mary. It's five o'clock on a Saturday afternoon. Why didn't you call me sooner? Why didn't you call one of the guys at the station? I know I left on a sour note but geezs my ex-partner loved James, Mary."

She sniffles and he wants to comfort her but this isn't about her or him. It's about their son. "I'm calling them. I'll come into the city and start lookin' myself."

He wants something else too. "I want to start seeing him again after this Mary. I... I missed him. I'll call you on my way in."

He hangs up his phone then sighs. He should bring someone with him. With his leg he isn't as spry as he used to be,. He also has a bad feeling about this so he gets up and starts looking around to find one of the older students or maybe Gabe to see if they'd be willing to go look with him. He normally wouldn't ask for help but it's his kid so all pride goes out the window.

	"Is everything okay, Mr. Brooks?" Moira asked, head canted with slight concern. (Reply to this)(Thread)

There are some students he likes because they write very well thought out essays. He likes others because they obviously enjoy whatever they're trying to do. He also likes the insightful ones who like Moria who he is often just pleased with. Now normally he would be happy but right now he is just worried over his kid.

"Mt ex-wife just called." He stops then goes on with telling the truth because he simply can't lie and he is going to look for some kind of help. "Apparently our son didn't come home from school yesterday and she doesn't know what to do."

	Well, it definitely wasn't for her penmanship. "Och, how old is he?" She asks, wondering if there's any possibility this is just some kind of teenage excursion. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He's ten," Ezekiel says without a second thought. James will be turning eleven in late July. He has no idea what the kid likes anymore. They barely talk anymore. "She should've called the police. But Mary sounded too upset," he says with a sigh patting down his pockets. This is no time to smoke but he is very nervous now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If there's anything I can do," and Moira shifts midsentence. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I need help tracking him. I know where he goes to school and I can use some of my clairvoyance to figure out what might have happened but... I'm not sure how he walks home from school anymore," he admits. That is the biggest problem really. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What does he smell like?" Moira immediately looks sheepish. "I'm sorry; I guess you couldn't explain it the way the family could, but... you ken, right? If I had anything to go on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He has no idea. He thinks about this for a little bit though. "I have his baseball mit in the back of my car. I got to see him recently and he forgot it. Been meaning to get it back to him," he mutters the last part. Then shakes his head it doesn't matter. "Would that be any help? I just have baseline senses so I never really think about that kinda thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"A well-used glove's almost like a portrait," she assures him. "That would be good. How long do you think it will take to get to his school?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"About a half an hour. It actually isn't all that far from here," he says pretty quickly. He has driven in and out of the city so many times he has it figured out pretty well. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then we should probably go, once we tell people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He nods gratefully. "Thanks Moira. I should go tell the Professor what's going on." He is thinking about getting Gabriel in on this as well. He is very worried about James. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Speak of the devil. Or rather, angel. Gabriel showed up with an itch on his nose. "Hello Moira, Mr. Brooks," he greeted, "Is something wrong?" He hadn't really been paying much attention to what was around him lately, so he hadn't heard any of the conversation. With a careful gaze, you could see that he still wasn't looking well after the loss of his own son. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Moira just nods to him and looks to Ezekial. (Reply to this)(Parent)
