My mentor's beloved cat-child has gone missing and last night we drove through the neighborhood from 11pm to 1am looking for him. The car played an audio loop of my mentor's wife calling the cat's name and shaking his favorite bag of treats. In the dark we saw a raccoon, opossum, bunnies, someone else's cat, and even a gator - my first wild gator - peeking its head out of the water in one of our thousands of ponds and glinting its eye under the beam of our flashlight. We saw all the animals but the one we wanted to find most.
