Ben had attended the party, it was mandatory. About halfway through he began to put his plan into action, seeking out his mother first. When he found her in the crowd he had sweat beginning to pool on his forehead, his hair damp around the edges. All it took was a simple feel of his cheek before she sent him straight upstairs to bed, he made sure to kiss her cheek before he left though. Now with that out of the way he gathered what things he would need before sneaking his way out the back as he had done many times before. He caught a taxi to a car dealership, rented a vehicle under a false name and paid the guy pretty good to keep his mouth shut before making his way to pick up Thomas and the kids.
