Who: Cameron Mitchell and Lucas Friar What: Confrontation When: Saturday morning Where: Their house Warnings: TBD Status: Closed/On-going
Cameron had noticed over the last couple of weeks that Lucas was acting strangely. Which, he thought, was saying a hell of a lot. Lucas was a strange kid to begin with and anything even more out of the ordinary was definitely cause to be concerned. He’d waited, though, not said anything right away because he was sure the teenager would come to him eventually. Or Melinda. One of them with the intention of getting help. If Lucas was good at anything it was recognizing that he needed adult intervention sometimes.
But he didn’t come to Cameron and he hadn’t talked to Melinda either, and it was getting to be really worrying.
So he made the move first, sat down across from his kid over breakfast, concern written all over his face. “Okay out with it.” No beating around the bush here, no pretending he hadn’t noticed things were different and no easing into it, he needed to know what was wrong. “What’s going on with you?”
