DANA’S REMORSE

Dana thought to herself, "If he is dead what can I say to Gina? I know she would give her life for him and like wise he for her. I envy her."

Dana: “I’m going to call them.” She picks up the phone and dials. 

David, Gina or Peter always answers the cell phone. This time it was Peter

Peter picks up the ringing cell phone.

Peter:  “Hello.”

Dana: “Is Gina Hankins there?”

Peter: “Who’s speaking please?”

Dana: “It’s Dana, her mother.”

Peter, looking at Gina and David.

David: “You cannot stay on the phone long with people you don’t know is safe. They can trace cell phones. What’s wrong? You look like you have seen a ghost, man!”

Peter: “It’s someone calling herself Dana, Gina’s Mom.”

Gina: “I don’t want to speak to her.”She says as her heart pounds.

David: “It could be about you Father.”

Gina grabbed the phone hungrily.

Gina: “Hello. Who is this?”

Dana: “It’s your mother Gina.”

Gina: “Is my Dad ok?  I knew he would come there. May I speak to him?”

Dana: “He is not here Gina. He came by but left like he always does.”

Gina: “Then why are you calling?  Don’t tell me you wanted to know how we are doing.  Why don’t you talk to David, I am not sure I can take it right now.” 

Dana: “David huh? Well, I guess he is forgivable! I know you can’t forgive me but I need to see you and Tom. I have been miserable without you all these years.  It has been the biggest mistake of my life. I’m coming to see you; I hope
you let me do that. You don’t have to look at me, just let me look at you.”

With that Gina gave the phone to David who also had his ear to the phone.

David: “Ms Dana, coming here is not a good Idea. First of all we are no longer in the house that
you remember, and."    

 He tried to continue but was cut off by Dana.

Dana: “I knew what your Father-n-law was up to building that compound before you did. I just don’t know where it is. But I am going to come looking.”

David: “Ms Dana, authorities will figure out why you came and though they will not get Thomas, they may catch all of us. They are torturing people to find dad.”
