"My son. His father has taken him."

"And what would you like me to do?"

"Bring him back."

"Are you divorced?"

"Yes."

"Do you have custody?"

"Yes, of course. I'm his mother."

"Does his father have visitation privileges?"

"Yes, but this isn't a visit. He's taken Paul and he won't bring him back."

"And the court?"

"There's a hearing, and Mel's being subpoenaed but they can't find him."

"Is Mel your husband?"

"Yes. So I've spoken to the police and they said if they could find him they'd serve him a summons. But you know they aren't going to look for him."

"Probably not. They are sometimes busy," I said.

"And so I want you to find him and bring my Paul back."

"How's the boy feel about all this?"

"Naturally he wants to be with his mother, but he's only fifteen. He has no say. His father has simply taken him and hidden him."

"Mel misses Paul that much?"

"He doesn't miss him. He doesn't care about Paul one way or the other. It's merely his way of getting at me. He doesn't want me to have Paul."

"So he took him."

"Yes."

"Good deal for the kid," I said.

"Mel doesn't care about that. He wants to hurt me. And he's not going to."

There was no wiggle when she said the last sentence. "I want you to bring that kid back to me, away from his father. Paul is legally mine."

I was silent.
