Lawrence wasn't sure if he should be surprised or not. For one, he knew that this was something that was within his mother's ideas. But it was also a horrible option.

He paused for a moment before putting the picture back into his pocket. He walked out the front door, and shut it behind him. He got into his car, and turned it on.
"I'm gonna find you Wendy. Before any of this can go down..." He whispered to himself, before pulling out of the driveway, and driving down the road.
