Once Timmy had left the living room, Tristan quickly dialed Urban's phone number. He hoped he picked up. He could explain! He hadn't made that mess, Tania had! He had been waiting up because he had been worried about Momma. He didn't know what had happened, or even if she was alright. Urban had sent them out of the apartment before he could ask. Maybe he would get that chance, on the phone.
He heard the phone picked up. "Papa? Papa, I want to come home! I'm sorry!" he wanted to come home. To be with his parents: and not with talk-too-much kids with strange names.

How many days now had it been since Urban had taken off like he had? Several. Jayme had been left in the lurch it felt like, dealing with Reese, though Ghede seemed to be around more often than was usual, so it hadn't been all bad. Even Zevian had managed to keep their manager away from him most of the time.
Of course, he'd realized early on Urban had forgotten his cell phone and it had sat there silent and unused. So when it rang he was startled and fumbled with it a little. He could hear talking on the other end and he blinked.
"Uhm..this is Urban's phone...but not him...can...I take a message?" not that he knew when he'd be able to pass it through...

Tristan was horrified when he heard not Urban s voice, but Jaymee's. "Where's my papa?" He demanded, rubbing at his eyes. "He kicked me out of the house days ago and he didn't tell me what was wrong and he said go away! And..."the boy's words became muffled, as if he had attempted to stop the flow with a pillow. "I just wanna go home, Jaymee. Can you tell him I miss him? I want to come home! I can help him take care of what's happened!"
He didn't want to be where he was. He supposed it was rather selfish, but at that point in time all he cared about was getting home. He wasn't at all concerned about his sister. He wanted Momma, and Papa and him. "Do you know what happened?" He asked at last. "He didn't say."

"Tristan? Is that you?" Jayme wasn't used to using phones so it felt weird against his head and he blinked a few times. "I don't know where he is. I haven't seen him in days. He ran out of here saying it was an emergency."
No one had been able to reach him, and it was starting to worry Jayme. "I have no idea what happened he didn't say. Where are you? I can tell him when he finally shows up again."

Papa hadn't gone to work? This was worse than the minun boy had imagined. Maybe if he went to the apartment and threatened to break the door down unless he was let in-- no, that wouldn't work. "I'm at Dea's!" He said. "With Uncle Timmy. I want to come home! I can take care of papa!" He sniffled, but fiercely wiped at his eyes. "He needs me."
The more he heard and the more he thought, the more he was convinced. Papa needed him. "You'll tell him?" He asked. "I'll take care of him!"

"At Dea's. Okay I'll make sure to tell him. I don't know where he can be. Maybe I can get a friend of mine to go look for him."
Ghede was certainly well suited to getting about without issue. Maybe he'd go look for Urban....or Zevian if it became a really desperate issue. "Stay there okay Tristan? That way you're somewhere safe. I don't know how long it will take to find him okay?"

"Really?" Tristan smiled slightly. Jayme was so nice! Sending friends to look for his papa. "Thank you! Can you call me at this number and tell me how he is? You'll take care of him?" He was hopeful. Papa needed help, he was sure of it.
"Jayme, I don't want to stay here!" The minun exclaimed. "I wanns come home, I don't want to stay here. They're too talkative and helpful and friendly!" And too much like him, when he was in a good mood. "But I'll stay. You'll tell him to come get me?"

"Really Tristan. I'm worried about him, it's been awhile since he's come to work and he forgot his phone here so I can't call him." he could see the number on the phone and nodded, then remembered a nod couldn't be seen over the phone. "I'll tell him to call you here...and do what I can to take care of him."
He listened to the minun and couldn't help a soft smile. He didn't want to stay somewhere full of friendly, helpful loving people...silly kid really. "I'll tell him...but Tristan I don't know whats going on...so I don't know if he will okay?" he was afraid the boy was getting his hopes up, and would get them crushed.

"Why wouldn't he?" Tristan demanded. "Why wouldn't he come get me? He said he loves me! And he's my papa whether he likes it or not." Something must have gone very wrong, for Urban to kick him out. He remembered how excited the teenager had been to introduce him to Uncle Cam. "Something really bad happened, didn't it, Jayme? Is Papa protecting us by getting rid of us?" His voice quavered. For one dangerous moment, the minun thought he was going to cry. Then he said, "Even if he doesn't. Tell him I love him?"
And maybe. Maybe when he was older, if Papa didn't come and get him-- he could find Papa and fix him.

"I don't know Tristan it's just a bad feeling I have. In all the time I've known him...for him to be acting like this is strange." and more than a little worrying.
"I think so yes. I don't know what happened, but I think something bad happened. Maybe it was something to do with Cameron. I know he got hurt not long ago. I don't know what made him run off like he did from here the other night."
Jayme's heart ached for the minun and he felt tears pricking at his eyes. "I promise to tell him you love him Tristan...and I'm sure he loves you too, no matter what he may have said or done. Maybe he is trying to protect you yes."

"I've never known him like this before. He was scary, Jayme. I was... scared. I don't think I was afraid of him, though. He was yelling and acting like--not like him! He's never yelled at me before. Not even when I made messes." He hesitated. "Something happened to Uncle Cam?" He asked. "That must be why Uncle Timmy is here. I was worried."
He wished he could hug Jayme. It would be nice to hug someone familar. "I love you, Jayme," he said. "I gotta go now. Tell Papa I love him. And Momma too."

"Cameron had an accident....and was in the hospital...Urban said he was hit in the head and he drowned and was in a coma for a few days. If Timmy needs to talk to me, you tell him to call this number."
Jayme sighed softly as he listened to Tris. "Love you too Tristan. I'll tell them I promise. You stay put and take care okay?"
He closed the phone and stared down at it. "Urban...where are you? What's going on...?"
