I'm sure you'll meet him sooner than later.

[The two of them have that sort of friendship only teenaged boys can truly manage, the kind that's spent annoying, aggravating and otherwise one-upping the other.]

I won't be able to spend all of my time looking for him since I work at the clinic and it's been short handed, but I'll also ask my son to help the next time I see him.

I'm sure he can't have disappeared completely.
