When Newt went to the bathroom to go and try to find Kyle, Savannah took a few deep breaths and tried to think of where he could be. She couldn’t find any security officers anywhere! She moved throughout the mall, her purse slung over her shoulder. She asked a few people if they saw a small boy who looked like her but no one could help. A few concerned looking mothers offered to help look and Savannah eagerly accepted their offer. She told them to tell security if they could.
After five minutes she was still fruitless and Newt was far away. She wanted her phone to call Kyle again – but Newt was using it to look for him with people in the bathroom! Oh, Savannah just didn’t know what to do! She bit back another sob as her vision blurred. She could now only see blurs of people which filled her with more anxiety – what if he was here but she couldn’t see? All because of her tears?
Savannah heard footsteps come to a stop beside her and looked over, expecting for a moment for it to be Kyle, but instead it was a security officer who looked concerned. One of the woman Savannah had asked was looming in the background, eyes focused on the scene.
”Miss, I understand that you’re looking for your brother, was it?” Savannah shook her head and rubbed her eyes. ”I – I don’t – h – he’s my cousin a – and I was watching him and I can’t f – find him,”
”We’ll find him, don’t worry.” The officer stood up and addressed his walkie-talkie, saying something about a lost boy. Savannah felt her heart grow heavier at that phrase. Another pattering footsteps came over, but Savannah didn’t register them.
When Newt finally started talking Savannah blinked over at him. ”Old lady...? She saw Kyle? Where?!” Savannah reached over to grab her phone from Newt, and then grabbed Newt’s shoulder and shook it, too frantic to be gentle with her movements. She choked out another sob. ”Where is she?! I need to talk to her! NOW!”
”Young man, I’m Officer Privett. I’m going to help your friend find her cousin.” The officer said, glancing at the photograph on the phone. ”May we speak to this woman who might have seen him?”
