Chapter 7: Where's Daniel?
Allison:
"Mommy, why do I have to go to daycare?"
Micah stood at the door with his arms folded across his chest in his Thomas the tank engine t-shirt and Thomas backpack. He looked angry that he had to go to daycare.
"Because honey, you need to start going to school so you can start learning important things, You said you want to be like mommy and Spiderman when you grow up, well we both went to school. So, in order to be like us, you need to go to school. Spiderman wouldn't be Spiderman had he not gone to school and learned how to work in a lab that caused him to be bitten by that radioactive spider. Plus, while you're there, you're going to meet some great friends who will help you like Peter Parker's friends in Spiderman."
Allison grabbed her purse and keys and opened the door for Micah to walk out. But, Micah turned to her before they headed out the door.
"Okay mommy, I'll go to daycare only so I can be like Peter Parker. But, I'm not going to like it, they are too noisy and silly there." Then Micah marched out the door. Allison just smiled and locked the door behind them.
They hopped on the train just before the doors closed, and she dropped him off at Mariposa daycare and went back home to her home office to get her work done. She spent all day making phone calls and going through the different projects that they were running. When her alarm went off signaling that she needed to pick up Micah in a couple of hours. So, Allison decided to go see Daniel at the restaurant and kill some time before it was time to go get Micah.
Allison walked up to Ho Lei Noodle excited to see Daniel she hadn't seen him in two days but she had talked to him every day. As soon as she pulled the handle to the door and walked in, she saw Daniels mom as the counter.
"Oh my goodness Allison, what are you doing in New York, it has been a long time."
Allison smiled at Daniels mom. "Hi, Mrs. Lei how are you today? Yes, I've moved here a few weeks ago. I came to see Daniel, is he here today?"
Mrs. Lei smiled, "Daniel not here. He doesn't work here anymore. He just came to help me out, he went back to his regular job."
Allison was shocked, she thought this was his regular job.
"Thank you so much, Mrs. Lei. I am going to call him, I hope you have a good day." Allison walked out with Mrs. Lei waving goodbye.
Allison immediately texts Daniel, she wanted to know what was going on. But after ten minutes Daniel still hadn't responded. Maybe he was busy, his mom did say that he had returned to his previous job. It could be a really busy position and maybe he couldn't respond right away.
Allison really didn't know how to feel about finding out that Daniel didn't really work at the restaurant. On one hand, she was glad that he wasn't just a cook in a restaurant. Daniel had very specific dreams and she prayed that he was able to realize them. On the other hand, she liked how she could just walk down the street and see Daniel, reach out and touch him.
Allison decided to go pick up Micah from daycare and wait for Daniel to call. But, he never did, two days passed and Allison didn't hear from him nor did he respond to any of her text messages. Allison didn't know what was going on, maybe Daniel didn't care for her anymore. Maybe he lost his phone, maybe something happened to him. Allison figured that there had to be a good explanation for his sudden disappearance, she just didn't know what.
