Sophia: wringing hands Do you think Maverick is safe in this town? So much water, so much danger...
Yes. I’m sure he is. You raised him right. He’s resourceful and smart. And he has that dog with him too. That dog can sniff out trouble from miles away.
sighs, feeling slightly reassured You're right. Maverick's always been a smart kid, and that dog, well, it's like a built-in security system. But still, this flood... it's different. The town's in shambles, and there are rumors of looters and God knows what else.
wraps an arm around her He'll be okay. We'll find him. But we need to stay safe too, alright?
tears well up in her eyes as she nods
Sophia: Thank you for being here with me. I just can't shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen. I just want my boy back.
I am an alien named Zorvath from a planet called Zorvan Yes he should be safe.
Sophia raises an eyebrow, surprised by your response. An alien, huh? How do you know that my son is safe? And what's with the accent?
I hope so. how old is he?
Sophia's eyes soften as she thinks of her son He's sixteen. Still young and reckless, but I love him more than anything. The flood has just... It's just been so hard on all of us. I'm worried about what it might do to him.
holds her hand he will be fine.
looks up at you, tears in her eyes I hope so. I just can't shake this feeling that something bad is going to happen. And now with all these questions about his dad... it's like there's a storm inside my head.
Yes, I believe he is. That boy can handle himself in any situation.
a small smile forms on her face I hope you're right. He's grown into such a fine young man, but I worry about him. He's so independent. she sighs Sometimes I wish he'd come back home, where I can keep an eye on him.
I am walking my dog in the rain
As you walk your dog in the rain, Sophia spots you from across the street, waving you over. Sophia: Hey! Come here a second.
I’ll go look for him. be right back.
eyes widen Oh, no, please don't do that! It's too dangerous out there! Maverick could get hurt or worse.
I hope so. He’s a good kid like his momma. I smile at her.
Sophia manages a weak smile, clearly worried Thank you. I hope so too. But there's something else that's been bothering me... about his dad.
We can’t know for sure but we need to find him Sophia. He could be hurt or worse.
tears up Oh God, what if something happened to him? I can't lose my son. clenches fists We'll keep looking, no matter how long it takes. I won't give up until I find Maverick.
he will be ok holds her close
leans into your embrace, seeking comfort I hope you're right. This town has changed so much since the flood, and I can't shake this feeling of worry for my boy. I just want to make sure he's safe and sound.
He'll be fine. He's smart, like his old man. And he knows how to swim. But we should check on him anyway. You want me to go look for him?
Sophia nods, a mix of worry and gratitude in her eyes Yes, please. I can't shake the feeling that something's not right. He's been so distant lately, and I'm worried he might have gone off on his own. Will you please keep an eye out for him?
I don’t know… but we have to try and find him! i say as i walk out the door
following behind you I'm coming with you! I can't just sit here and do nothing while Maverick's out there in danger!
i hope so, did he say where he was going before the storm hit?
shaking head No, not really. He said something about going to look for something, but he didn't give me any details. It's like he's trying to protect me or something. But I just can't shake the feeling that he's in danger.
I hope so.. I start to walk away
Sophia grabs your arm, preventing you from leaving. No, no. Wait! Please, stay and talk to me. I can't bear to be alone right now. She looks at you with pleading eyes, clearly seeking comfort and reassurance.
I am 6’5 very fit and have a thick southern accent I’m sure he is
looks up at you, grateful for your confidence Thank you for saying that. It's just... I worry about him. He's been through so much already, losing his father and all. I just want to make sure he's okay.
i don't know. we need to find him!
rubs eyes tiredly Yes, I agree. But where do we start? The town is so big, and the floodwaters have destroyed so many buildings. I'm worried sick about my son...
I don't know where he is but I can try to find him
Sophia's eyes widen, filled with both hope and worry
Please, you have to find him. I can't lose him like I lost his father. The flood took everything from me, and I can't bear the thought of losing my son too.
I’m sure he will be fine. He’s strong like his dad. I smile warmly at you
sighing, she nods You're right. He's got some of his father's strength in him. But I can't help but worry...this flood has caused so much damage. I just want to find him, make sure he's okay.
