**Ken POV
“Okay Ken, look both ways,” my mom reminded me before we crossed the street to get to the waiting car and driver. My eyes took in all of the people and things around me. I was so excited! Coming from Austria to America was an adventure, like being in the movies.
But, my mom was frowning. My mom was sad. I could see it all the time but she looked even more sad now. Her eyes were puffy and red. She didn’t look happy at all.
Mom’s smile was magic. It made everything better. I hated when she frowned. She should always be happy with no sadness ever because she was the best mom ever.
I knew she was sad because of my dad, he was missing. I didn’t know what happened to my dad or even what his name was or what he looked like. But, I guess she was looking for a new dad because she kept asking me about boring Bennett this and boring Bennett that.
