“Matt! Matt, all of our fish are… are gone!” Christina wails.
Matt races out into their backyard and over to the pond. “What? Wait, what? What do you mean all of our fish are gone?” Christina’s hands cover her face.

Christina nods, grateful for his solution-oriented attitude. “I’ll come with. They were my fish too and I want to help.” Matt nods and pulls out his phone.
