Jonathan paused for a moment after hearing the assistant’s question. His eyes glanced at the poster of Maurice hanging outside of the airport.

“I wonder… is that Maurice?” he murmured bitterly to himself. His stoic face was laced with bitterness.

“Mr. Bowman?” the assistant addressed him tentatively.
