For what it's worth, I don't think Faye actually DID go to Circle K on Monday. But I don't personally find it odd for a parent who is panicking about a missing child to check in with any nearby business.
I agree 100%. When I was 8 or 9, I rode my bike over to a friend's house in my neighborhood one day. Her mom needed to go to Walmart for something while I was over there and they asked me if I wanted to go with them. It was supposed to be a quick trip there and back, so (like an idiot) I didn't even think to call and tell my mom first. You can probably figure out what happened next.
The "quick trip" turned out to be like three hours because her mom decided to run a few more errands. I'd parked my bike in her garage before we left so it wouldn't get stolen, so my mom went ballistic when she drove over to my friend's house to tell me that it was time to come home. Not only was I not there, no one was... and my bike was nowhere to be found. She went all over the place looking for me (including quite a few gas stations, I'm sure). When we got back to her house, I hopped on my bike and headed home without a care in the world. My mom began to cry hysterically the minute I walked in the door. Thankfully, she'd only come looking for me about an hour before we got back and hadn't called the police yet. I said all that to say that I find her mom's behavior perfectly normal.
