Hey, buddy, I'm sorry.
I was just kidding around.
Nothing's gonna happen to your mom.
Something happened to my dad.
Yeah.
Did I ever tell you, uh, how we first met? Oh.
Eighth grade.
Uh Statewide robotics competition.
- Who won? - Who do you think won? My dad? Yes, of course he did, because he was better than me at everything.
And then, later, he talked me into joining BIONA with him.
He was already a a storm chaser, and, uh I became his stats guy.
Dynamic duo.
Were you with him when it happened? I didn't even know he was going, so [INHALES.]
It was too late.
My mom won't tell me what happened.
Just says it was a storm.
Well, you know, that's the problem with chasing storms, is sometimes you catch one.
They never found him.
I heard my auntie say that.
Nobody knows where he is.
[INHALES.]
You know, what I remember the most about your father, is that he loved to fish.
His dad taught him when he was a little kid, and, you know, his dad built the lake cabin himself.
So we would go up there, fish anytime we got the chance.
We had this rule where we only ate what we caught, so if the fish weren't biting, we didn't eat.
Did he catch a lot of fish? Your dad? Yeah, tons.
The dude was amazing.
There was this one time, your dad [KNOCKING.]
I'm sorry I ran away from school! - Mmm.

[PAT.]
Um He asked me how Mark died.
And what did you say? I I just I changed the subject.
But, um if I were him, I'd I'd want to know.
No, he doesn't need the nightmares.
Yeah, but, you know, maybe he could be proud of He's my kid, Pat.

And that was not the plan for tonight, okay? - You ran away from school.
- I invited him over before I did that.
- When? - Yesterday.
I messaged him on Reptile Repo.

Somebody has to pay the rent.
I liked our old house better.

And he got caught in a hurricane in New Orleans and he saw a woman who got swept up by the river, so he jumped in to save her.
And did he? He did.
[INHALES.]
But the river took him instead.
He shouldn't have jumped in.
