Walking through the door of his parent’s home, Deacon finds Sara still frantically calling friends of hers, searching for Tom.  Frank tells Deacon, Sara and the two kids that they are to stay there tonight.  They all agree.  Deacon goes out to his truck to retrieve his bag.  When he returns, he begins to unpack in his old room.  After getting settled, he descends down the stairs to find his niece playing with dress up clothes. 

‘Look uncle Deacon, I’m a princes.”  She exclaims

His nephew is playing with a tub of cars that were his when he was little.  Deacon sits down on the floor to play with both of them, trying to keep things as normal as possible for them.  He does not want them to begin to worry.  His dad has been in his den most of the time he has been there, Deacon can hear his dad talking softly to somebody on the phone, it brings back memories of life before he had retired.   His mom is trying to stay calm for the children, she is obviously overwhelmed with the state of things.  Deacon sits down next to her, puts his arm around her shoulder, and pulls her in to hug her. 

“It will be ok, mom,” he assures her as he kisses her forehead.
