Lost Boy Page #3

---

I want people to know

I'm back.

Of course.

I want people

to know about you.

But everyone's

going to have questions.

It's just I--

I just thought

that it would make it real.

It's real because

I know it's real,

but there's a process to this,

and we're going to have

to see a family therapist.

This is going to be

a whole journey.

There's no reason

to rush it.

There's really

nothing more to say.

This has been a long nightmare,

it's finally come to an end,

and our family really needs time

to rebuild and to heal.

So I'm asking you all

for your privacy at this time.

That's all.

Just one interview?

God, when are they

going to leave?

Eventually.

Hey, you look great.

Listen, if you don't like anything,

we can always return it.

No, they're perfect.

Thank you.

It was Mitchell's idea

to bring Jonathan along--

Make a boys' day out of it.

Special occasion.

Yeah, it's not every day

you get a father-son blood test.

It's just a formality.

You guys have fun

or have fun after the test.

Bye, honey.

So what do you think, guys,

a movie, batting cages?

- Why don't we go to the lake?

- No, batting cages.

He's not

the strongest swimmer.

- Dad.

- Well, you could be.

- I don't like the water.

- I get it.

It's deep, big, dark.

You never know what's lurking

beneath the water, right?

It could just grab you.

I'm kidding.

I'm sorry.

The lake stopped being

a happy place a long time ago.

If you think water's scary,

there's plenty of things

in the world

that are much scarier.

Mitchell and Greg Harris?

Right here.

Got our paperwork.

- Don't tell me!

- What?

Can't find my phone.

I think I saw it

in the car.

All right.

I'm going to take a look.

I'll be right back.

What are you doing?

Give me your arm.

- Ouch!

- Shh!

Okay, for us--

Blood brothers.

It makes it official.

No one can ever

tear us apart.

- Ow!

- Stop, okay?

Mom is finally happy.

You wouldn't want to

ruin that, would you?

Okay. Don't move.

- Mitchell Harris?

- Yes.

- Open.

- What's that?

Open.

This is so weird.

I just had it.

Must have left it at home.

- You're the father?

- Yes. Hi.

Hi. Open wide.

That was easy.

Here you go, sweetie.

Can I get one?

So are we all good?

Results will be mailed in

three to five business days.

Great.

Could you send the results

to my ex-wife's

mailing address?

Come here!

Open your mouth.

- What?

- Open!

What are you doing?

If you tell, I'm going to

go missing again...

and it's going to

break their hearts

and it's going to be

all your fault.

- All your fault.

- Let's go, boys.

Mitchell!

Mitchell!

I got the test results.

What does it say?

It's nothing

I didn't already know.

Sorry, gang.

Traffic was a nightmare.

- Summer.

- Hi, Dad.

Hey. Come here.

Listen,

I never really doubted it,

but it's good to know,

to really know, all right?

Yeah.

What's up, guy?

We good?

- Yeah. We're good.

- All right.

I need a ride into town.

Honey,

this is family time.

Well, you should have

told me that

before I promised Beth

I would be there last week.

Come on.

This is the first time

we're all having dinner

as a family.

Okay, well, I said

I was going to be there.

I can take her...

if one of you guys

will let me borrow your car.

Well, I don't think

that'd be a good idea.

You can take mine.

You really okay

with him driving?

Yeah, I'm okay with him

driving my car.

I think it's fine.

Mitchell drops her off.

We'll pick you up

at 11:
00.

- Midnight.

- 10:
30.

That,

or I can just hang out

and you don't have to

pick her up.

If that's cool with you,

I'd like to meet your friends.

What about family time?

Summer is my family.

Unless you guys think

it's a bad idea.

- No. No, no.

- I didn't say that.

I mean, I'm okay with it

if you are.

Yeah, I'm fine with it.

What?

You drive.

I don't even

have my permit.

Dad's making me wait 'cause of

something that I did.

I knew we had

something in common.

I don't either.

Oh, my God!

Nobody asked.

You drive or you walk.

It's your choice.

I don't know.

I know it's scary...

but there's something exciting

about it, don't you think?

Okay.

Guess what.

What?

Let's go into...

No!

This is not happening.

Stop!

He's kind of old for her,

don't you think?

I wouldn't get all brotherly

and protective about it.

She's fine.

You're mad at me.

You could have told me.

No, I couldn't have.

Everyone is

talking about you.

Like my mom thinks

you're a total delinquent.

Like dangerous.

Show me your room.

Well, I'm glad you called

even if it is to just

help you sort paperwork.

It wasn't

just for paperwork.

I'm glad.

Ahem!

Oh!

This is for you.

This is mine.

Cheers!

Cheers!

I'm not used to...

to your hand.

Yeah,

it's different, isn't it?

I never really, you know...

I'm not going to do anything

you don't want to do.

Trust me. You're going to

want me to do everything.

This is so cool.

Yeah. Summer said

she wants to get one.

Really?

But she's scared to death

of needles.

You scared

to death of anything?

Thank you.

I would love to

see you again.

I'd love to

meet your son.

Hi. Did you have

a good time?

- You did.

- Excuse me?

Maybe me living here

isn't such a good idea.

Interrupting your life...

Wait a minute.

Where is this coming from?

Where is my family?

What did you let happen

to my family?

We are your family.

We're it. This is your family.

It's not the same!

It's wrong, all wrong!

Mitchell!

No, no!

I want my family back!

I want my life back!

In a abduction like this

where a young boy has been

missing for over a decade,

in all likelihood

Mitchell Harris

not only experienced

emotional abuse

but also physical

and sexual abuse.

Outside the Harris house,

KCDY-6.

So you think it's okay to get

a tattoo without even asking?

This is so ridiculous!

I'm almost 18.

It's not a big deal, Dad.

What he's trying to say.

Don't tell me

what he's trying to say.

Summer, don't talk to...

She's not my mother!

Hey...

It's my fault.

I'll take care of it,

all right?

- Really?

- Yeah.

Where have you been

all my life?

You're up next...

Hey!

I wanted to apologize

for the tattoo.

Oh, it's Summer's fault.

Don't worry about that.

No, it was

my brilliant idea.

She's my twin.

I thought that it would

bring us closer together,

but I've gotten her in trouble.

I'm sorry.

I'm, I'm a mess.

I don't know

how to belong in a family,

and I've already

changed your lives.

Changing for the better.

Okay. Let's see it.

Wow, that's

a stunning design.

You like it?

Well, you should have asked your

dad and my permission first,

but knowing how you feel

about needles,

it's kind of amazing you

had the courage to do it.

Okay. You were right.

That was the perfect way

to play it.

Hopefully it makes up

for the other night.

I'm sorry.

I know, but you're

a member of this family,

and you should have

asked our permission,

but I haven't seen Summer

look at me like that
