The next morning, Huck finds that his sister has gone missing. He tells his father that she is his step-sister, not his sister's friend, and that she has been searching for him since the morning. Huck apologizes to his father for being late, but he refuses to apologize to Huck's sister, whom he calls his "girl friend" . Huck is annoyed that his father has allowed Huck to stay at the hotel when he is free to do whatever he wants. He asks Huck why Huck ran away, and Huck replies that he ran away because he wanted to fight with his sister. Huck tells Huck that he found out about the affair between his sister and her boyfriend after he overheard the conversation between them on the phone. Huck says that he wants his sister back because he wants her to break off her relationship with her boyfriend.
