1
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: Welcome, sleep Tight Stories. The Frame Up by Wendy McLeod McKnight,

2
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: a New Brunswick based Canadian author. Chapter one, Mona Dunn

3
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: was late. She leaped from one painting to the next,

4
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: her damp hair flying like streamers on a bicycle, her

5
00:00:53,800 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: dress darkened here and there by still soggy undergarments. She'd

6
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: known there wasn't enough time, even without the calamity, which

7
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: had involved a stranger farther down the beach whose presence

8
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: had trapped her in the water. Thanks to an ill

9
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: thought out decision to jump in wearing only her undergarments.

10
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: Her mistake cost her twenty minutes. She would be the

11
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: last to arrive at Lord Beaverbrook's monthly meeting, just like

12
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: last month and the month before. Lord Beaverbrook would not

13
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: be pleased. Breathless, she arrived at the meeting location, Salvador

14
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: Dolly's Santiago el Grande, one of the largest and most

15
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: dramatic paintings in the art gallery, with its massive horse

16
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: and rider soaring toward the heavens. Located in the Orientation

17
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: Gallery near the entrance, it was a crowd pleaser. Lord

18
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: Beaverbrook was already speaking after slipping through the picture frame

19
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: into the meeting. Mona dipped behind Andre Reedmore, hoping his

20
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: vulminous cloak would hide her. I should like to remind

21
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: you of the many important events that will occur at

22
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: the Beaverbrook Art Gallery this summer, Max Aitken aka Lord Beaverbrook,

23
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: read from his notes, though his head was down. He added,

24
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:47,239
Speaker 1: good of you to join us, mouse. Max's pet name

25
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: for Mona was Maux, because, according to him, she was

26
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: everywhere and nowhere and never seemed to get cocked. Every

27
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: head swiveled in her direction. Her friends, Madame Juliet and

28
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: Edmond flashed sympathetic smiles. Clement Carterell stuck out his tongue.

29
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: The horse and rider peered down and gave her hard stares.

30
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: Mona curtsied and then fixed her attention upon Max, pretending

31
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: the attention did not bother her in the least. Papa

32
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: called it her imperious look, and it often served her

33
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: well to continue, Max said, flicking a bit of dried

34
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: paint off the lapel of his jacket. The art restorer

35
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: arrives today. A murmur rolled across the crowd like a wave.

36
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: Mona saw Juliet gave Edmund a fearful look. No one

37
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: liked being restored. It was a messy, tedious business, and

38
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: it meant spending several days or weeks trapped in a

39
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: work room in the basement. Now now, Max growled, waving

40
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: the buzz away as if there were bees bothering him

41
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: at the breakfast table. You all knew this was coming.

42
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: Everyone has to do their share if we are to

43
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 1: remain a top tier art gallery. But I was only

44
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: just restored. Lady Carterell called out, swaying as if she

45
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: might faint. Painted by a Dutch artist in the seventeenth century,

46
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: she had a delicate temperament thanks to being trapped in

47
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: a painting for nearly four hundred years, with crying baby Francis,

48
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: three rambunctious children, and a husband who complained constantly about

49
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: being stuck at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery in New Brunswick, Canada,

50
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: when his dream was to live at the Louver in Paris.

51
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: Lord Beaverbrook didn't glance up, madam. Your painting was last

52
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: restored in nineteen seventy three. It was that long ago,

53
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: Lady Carterell whispered to herself, as I said, Max continued,

54
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: I do not yet have the exact schedule. But here

55
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: is the restoration list as I know it to day.

56
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: The Carterell family, Madame Juliette Don, Lajardains Hotel bedroom, Marymaking,

57
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: and Mona Don. There was such an uproar after Marrymaking

58
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: that Mona barely heard her name. Where will we spend

59
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: the evening when we're being restored? A swarthy man Mona

60
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: didn't recognized shouted. Despite having lived in the gallery for

61
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 1: nearly sixty years, she still ran across residents who rarely

62
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: left their paintings, especially a painting like Marrymaking, with its

63
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: dozens of people both inside and outside the White Horse Inn.

64
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: Max shrugged, but as faces began to purple, he added,

65
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: calm down, Sir Thomas Samwell has agreed to host folks

66
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: over at Bacchanalian Place while Marrymaking is restored. Satisfied, he

67
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: waited for the grumbling to trickle away. Be prepared to

68
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: go downstairs at a moment's notice. Keep your paintings organized now,

69
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 1: if you will allow me to continue, I do have

70
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: other news. Someone started to speak, but was hushed. No

71
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: one really wanted to cross the Boss, the resident's nickname

72
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: for Max. The gallery will host a fundraising party on

73
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: Friday Night. Attendances down this year as our donations. As

74
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: you well know, operating a world class enterprise like this

75
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: requires lots of money, and I expect you to look

76
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: sharp during the party. No pained faces, please, and thank you.

77
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: Regardless of the ridiculous things the guests say. A few

78
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: snickers volleyed their way around the meeting. Everyone had a

79
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: handful of gallery patron horror stories. Max acknowledged the laughter

80
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: with a quick grin. Also, the museum will host several

81
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: week long summer camps, but with a twist, the final

82
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: night of each week will include a sleepover. What is

83
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: the sleepover thing? Andre Reidmore asked. His painting was almost

84
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: six hundred years old and he'd been on loan to

85
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: another gallery when the last sleepover was held in nineteen

86
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: ninety eight. The children taking part in the art camps

87
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: get to spend the night in the gallery at the

88
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: end of the week. Mona whispered, even though, if truth

89
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: be told, she was a little afraid of the stern faced,

90
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: giant bear of a man who strode about in his

91
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: fur trimmed green velvet cape. Why would they do that,

92
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: he demanded, It sounds bothersome. Yeah, Mona remembered the last

93
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: sleepover fondly, an opinion not shared by Sir Charles, who

94
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: rallied against allowing rambunctious Ragamuffins to spend the night. Max's

95
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: booming silenced all opposition. Enough. Director Singer is of the

96
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: opinion that such activities encourage family participation in art. Family

97
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: participation means more income. Surely we can put aside our

98
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: personal feelings for the good of the gallery. He means

99
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: the good of Lord Beaverbrook. Someone muttered, Mona twisted around.

100
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: The speaker was British author w Somerset Mom, who was

101
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: being held in the arms of a man. Mona didn't recognize.

102
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: Mom winked at Mona, and she grinned in return. She

103
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: liked him. It was too bad he had the misfortune

104
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: of being a sketch of a head. While Mona's painting

105
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: only showed her from the waist up, her artist had

106
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: thought of the whole of her, which meant when she

107
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: left her portrait she was a complete person. Mom's artists

108
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: had focused solely on the head. Mom could only leave

109
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: his painting if someone remembered to go down to the

110
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: workroom in the basement and get him at least he

111
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: could talk. No one liked the sketches of bodiless hands

112
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: that tended to creep up at the most inopportune and

113
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: frightening times. Max pulled out his pocket watch. It is

114
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: almost six thirty a m. He said. The security shift

115
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: change will be occurring. Su I suggest we all return

116
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: to our paintings, have a good day. A few people

117
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: near the front clapped, hoping Max would notice and think

118
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 1: kindly of them in the future. Then, like theaters after

119
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: a performance, everyone shuffled off toward the frame where they

120
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: lined up, chatting and laughing as they waited for a

121
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: turn to step into the narrow passages behind the walls

122
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: that magically led to the gallery's various rooms and their

123
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: individual paintings. Before Lord Beaverbrook himself could leave, a man

124
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: emerged from the shadows behind him and whispered something in

125
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: his ear. Mister Dusk was Beaverbrook's right hand man. He

126
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: lived in hotel bedroom located in the Hosmer Pillow Vaughn Gallery.

127
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: His artist, Lucian Freud, was world famous and the painting

128
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: had brought countless visitors to the gallery. But Freud had

129
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: painted Dusk as a ray shadowy figure, and because of that,

130
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: most of the residents of the gallery gave him a

131
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: wide berth. Max nodded as Dusk spoke, and then held

132
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: up a hand. Wait up, he called, mister Dusk here

133
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: has reminded me. I've forgotten something. Those already out of

134
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: the painting poked their heads backed in, while everyone else

135
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: turned their attention back to the boss. The gallery director's

136
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: son is arriving today, Max said, smiling. I didn't know

137
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: he had a son, someone said. Mona nodded she hadn't

138
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: known either. He does, indeed, Max said, a twelve year

139
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 1: old lad named Sergeant. Apparently he's quite an artist. I

140
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: assume he will participate in the art camps. Director Singer

141
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: is very excited, and that is definitely that off you go.

142
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: Mona was shoved along toward the frame and had nearly

143
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: escaped when Max's booming voice caught up with her. I

144
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: would see you, Mona don Mona sighed. She'd been right.

145
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: She wasn't getting off scot free this time. Chapter two,

146
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: Sergeant Singer's stepfather, Bill hummed as he eased the Mercedes

147
00:13:55,480 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: into the drop off zone for Terminal B at LaGuardia Airport.

148
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: It was six thirty in the morning on the last

149
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 1: day of June, and Sergeant was exhausted, not from getting

150
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: up early, but because he hadn't slept at all. Are

151
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: you sure this is the right terminal for Air Canada,

152
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: his mother asked, her, knuckles white from clutching Sergeant's ticket

153
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: and boarding pass. Yes, Sarah Bill said. He leaned forward

154
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: to pop the trunk and then climbed out of the car.

155
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: Sergeant was wriggling across the back seat to the door

156
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: closest to the curb when his mother placed a hand

157
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: on his arm. He froze, anticipating more motherly advice. In

158
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: the past week, she'd subjected him to three serious sit

159
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: down discussions. Obviously, that wasn't enough to convince her he'd

160
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: be fine. She also tucked six pages filled with emergency

161
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: phone numbers, email addresses, a detailed travel itinerary, a map

162
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: of emergency exits on the airplane, and a summer reading

163
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: list into the front pocket of his knapsack. She hadn't

164
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: been this worried when he'd gone to Paris last summer

165
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: to study at the So Long, but this trip was different.

166
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: He was going to visit his father, and anything to

167
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: do with Isaac Singer made his mother a wreck. Sergeant

168
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: shook off her hand, Mom, I gotta go. He was

169
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: free of her grip, but not from her intense blue eyes.

170
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: I know. Look, if it doesn't work out, mom, I'll

171
00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: be fine. Sure. He hadn't spent much time I'm with

172
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: his father over the years, But the guy ran an

173
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: art gallery and Sergeant was a painter. They'd have that

174
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: in common, wouldn't they. I know? But if he starts

175
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: acting strange, Sergeant couldn't tell what part of the queasy

176
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: feeling in his stomach was due to his mother's worries

177
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: or his own. Mom Stop, he asked me to spend

178
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: the summer. His mother sniffed. Spending the summer is very

179
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: different from spending a weekend like he didn't already know that.

180
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: No way were they rehashing his history with Isaac again.

181
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: Not here, not now. He wouldn't have the guts to

182
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: get on the plane. Bill's waiting, I gotta go. He

183
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: watched her turn, roll down her window and hold up

184
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: a finger to her husband. One minute darling, Bill tapped

185
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: his watch. Let him go, Sarah, security can take a while.

186
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: We don't want him to miss his flight. Afraid that

187
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: missing his flight was exactly what his mother had in mind,

188
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: Sergeant scrambled out of the car and joined Bill, who

189
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: drew him into a warm hug. Have a great summer, pal,

190
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: Bill said, thumping Sergeant on the back. Don't worry about

191
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,959
Speaker 1: your mom. By the time we're back in the city,

192
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: she'll have forgotten she even has a son. Bill meant

193
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: it as a joke, but it's stung a little. Sergeant

194
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: was the child of his mother's first marriage and had

195
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: been an only child for almost seven years before she

196
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: had remarried. Then his mom had two more kids, twins,

197
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: Ainslie and Ashley, and Sergeant was forced to share her

198
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: not only with Bill, but with a couple of Disney

199
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: princesses come to life. While Sergeant was happy to hole

200
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: up in his bedroom with his paints or a good book,

201
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: the twins were like his mom and Bill, non stop

202
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: talkers who loved being the center of attention. It was

203
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: like they were this perfect family of four, plus awkward him.

204
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: Sergeant was going to miss them all, but the thought

205
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: of a little peace and quiet with no one bugging

206
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: him to paint their nails or play sleeping beauty was appealing.

207
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: I heard that his mother joined them on the sidewalk.

208
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: Despite her obvious distress, she still looked impeccable, and Sergeant

209
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: was sure she had reapplied her lipstick before getting out

210
00:18:55,240 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: of the car. Ignore Bill, Sergeant, he's just being silly. Listen,

211
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: text me when you are past security, when you bored,

212
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: and when you land in Toronto and Fredericton. Okay, Sergeant nodded,

213
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: knowing there'd be text waiting for him at every stop

214
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: along the way. If he didn't respond, she might call

215
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: out the FBI or something. Sarah, give him a hug.

216
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: We can't stay in this spot much longer. Bill thumped

217
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: sergeant on the back, then circled around and climbed behind

218
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: the wheel. Maybe I should go in the terminal with you. Mom,

219
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: Come on, I don't need you to come in with me.

220
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: The Air Canada lady is waiting for me at the desk.

221
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: If you come in, it'll just drag things out. Please.

222
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: Eyes glistening, Sergeant's mother held him in a vice like

223
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: grip that seemed improbable for anyone so tiny. Fine. I

224
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: love you, sweetheart, be good. I hope everything goes well

225
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: with your father. Remember I'm just a phone call away.

226
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: Sergeant could feel a lump forming in his throat. While

227
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: he wanted to spend the summer with his dad and

228
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: get to know him better, part of him wanted to

229
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: stay home too. Home was familiar, safe. Afraid he might

230
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: cry or worse, chicken out of going, he nodded and

231
00:20:32,960 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: fled through the revolving door and into the airport to

232
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: the
