<strong>Grayson Park - Playground</strong><br/><br/>Nadia comes back to see the boy chatting with SJ, although he quickly stops when he sees someone running up.  He quickly got himself poised to run, very afraid when someone beat his father back in returning, but relieved to see the thing rushing up past Nadia to the boy.<br/><br/>"Dad, what's going on?" he finally asked, slipping off the swing only when he could see his father once again.  "You keep doing weird things like this, having to go off and talk to weird people, seeming to know stuff but not telling us.  Mom's noticed too, and..."<br/><br/>"It's nothing, Sam."  Relief caught in the man's tone as he started back, throwing Nadia a glance just to make sure she wouldn't try anything.  "Things have just been a little difficult right now."<br/><br/>"I want to help," Sam said, following quickly but rushing over to grab the edge of his father's suit leg.  "Let me be part of this too.  Are you like a..."<br/><br/>The sudden rush of panic forced his clammy dead hand over the boy's fingers, frightened but stern.  "You can't join me in this, Sam," the monster said with conviction.  "I don't want you to try."<br/><br/>"But, Dad..." Sam started to protest.<br/><br/>"No!" the man said with all the finality he could muster, bringing him back towards their car.  "You still have a long and happy life to live."<br/><br/>"Alright, Dad," the boy said ever so softly, hurt and feeling alone.  The two would no doubt continue their conversation later.
