Oscar had been waiting patiently for Steve to come back down to earth. “Did you hear me Steve?” Oscar asked. “I said we found your son.”
Steve nodded “where?” he asked.
“He’s been living with the family who took him.” Oscar leaned forward.
“The family…who took him?” Steve repeated. “What do you mean…’the family who took him’?” he was more than a little nervous.
Oscar nodded. “The night your wife…passed away another woman…” Oscar looked at the folder in front of him. “Ava Thompson. She lost her son at the same time. The police checked her out but found nothing at the time…”
“They should have tried harder” Steve stood and paced around Oscar’s office “I men it seems so obvious…”
“Now” Oscar finished.
“I guess hind sight is 20/20” Steve nodded as he sat back down. “Anyway, where do I go…What do I do? I have so many questions.”
Oscar patted the file in front of him. “All the answers are in here…but before you go charging in there… there is something you have to know…a couple of things that is.” He watched Steve to see how he would react he was afraid Steve would take off at a bionic run.
But he didn’t he turned to Oscar. “Oscar, all I want is my son back. In all these years I’ve never stopped thinking about him. I’ve never given up that one day…I might find him…I’ve always held a ‘private’ party on his birthday.”
“I know that.” Oscar nodded. “But David…that’s the name he goes by…David Allen Thompson. Has a family…he has brothers and sisters who were not a part of his kidnapping eight years ago.”
Steve gave a slight nod… “I think I understand. Does he know? I mean that these people who have him are not his parents…”
Oscar shook his head. “No we have only gone as far as proving that this boy is indeed your son.” He explained as Steve stood again.
“Has his mother been arrested…for kidnapping that is.”
Again Oscar shook his head. “No she hasn’t…and she never will be…”
“Why the heck not?” Steve shouted….
