Chapter Five

On the walk back to her sister’s house, Shana’s phone rang six times. She never picked up. At the precise moment Shana realized she didn't have a key for the house, her phone started ringing a seventh time. The desire to enter was outweighed by the revulsion she felt for her kin in that moment, by the familial betrayal she had suffered. She sat on the stoop, checked her missed calls (all Suze and Nate) and called her fiance.

Tom, like Shana did to her sister, ignored the call. Not because, mind you, he wanted to ignore the call. In fact, all he wanted in that moment was to hear his fiance’s voice, to hear how badly she needed him right now, how dependent she was on her everything, her Tommy. Maybe if she pleaded enough he could turn around and go home, call it a day. No, he ignored the call because the grindcore he was listening to was playing too loud over the car’s stereo. He chose the angry music because felt angry. The music amped up the road rage he felt being stuck in traffic on the Long Island Expressway at 1 PM on Sunday afternoon. Where were these people going anyway at 1 PM on a Sunday afternoon?

He stopped off in Mineola to get a bag of Doritos. Chips would soothe his weary soul.

Dread consumed Shana as she heard Nate’s car pull around the block. Her muscles tensed in some barbaric animal reaction to her sister, the quick preparation to fight until their mutual annihilation. When she heard the car doors open, Shana was ready to pounce. But Suze was weeping and Nate walked around to assist the slow waltz towards her sister.

“Shana, why didn’t you pick up?”

“Why the fuck did you tell Tom?”

“If you had picked up we wouldn’t have had to rush back here.”

Shana’s body tensed again. “Don’t you even make this about me.”

Nate chimed, “We couldn’t find Luke after the service. We still can’t find Luke. The police are at the church now and they’re going to be here soon.”

The whole of Shana’s epidermis turned cold as a cadaver’s, and her body went as stiff as one too.

“Did you see him Shana? Did you see him leave while you were outside?”

A tight shake of the head was all Shana’s neck would allow for. She saw nothing, not that she was paying attention.

“Well,” Nate said, “better tell the police that since it might help them map possible routes he could have taken.”

“But…” Thoughts could barely be sculpted into words. “Why would… Run?”

The sobs started strong from Suze. “He wouldn’t have. I told him right before he went up there that we’d eat at the Olive Garden afterwards.”

“The Olive Garden is his favorite.” The way Nate said it, it was like he was talking about a dead person whose interests had travelled with him to the beyond, leaving only the Olive Garden in its wake.
