Half-Truth

You want to decide one way or another, but you cannot and begin to hyperventilate. Frustrated, Jason shoves you under the bed and goes into the hallway, just as Nick, his father, and your mother arrive. "Jason, what is this I hear about a human being?" your mother snaps.

There is a pause, and you gulp. "Excuse me, Nick and Mr. Wandemeyer, but we have an emergency on our hands," begins Jason, "and I desperately need to speak with Mrs. Patterson in private. Right now. Otherwise, Mickey may never come home."

You do not expect anyone to accept this explanation, but luckily, your mother goes into a panic. "Mickey may never come home? What on Earth is that supposed to mean? Is he injured? Is he sick? Heavens, what is wrong? Mr. Wandemeyer, please let yourself out and come back later. I have to know what happened to my baby!"

You hear a few sputters of protest, and then heavy footfalls down the stairs. Jason comes back into the room with your mother, and as they sit down on the bed, you pray that he has a plan besides just to stall.
