Nathan, a bus driver, noticed a little boy remaining on the bus after the last stop. The boy, named Carlson, revealed he didn’t know where his mother was and asked to spend the night on the bus. Nathan, unable to accommodate, offered to walk him home. However, Carlson didn’t know his address.
Feeling responsible, Nathan took Carlson to his apartment in Ohio. He made calls to locate Carlson’s mother but found no leads. Reluctant to involve authorities unnecessarily, Nathan decided to care for Carlson himself for the night.
The next day, Nathan contacted local hospitals and discovered Carlson’s mother, Melissa, was in a coma following an accident. The doctor provided details, leaving Nathan and Carlson facing an uncertain future.
