On his way to the mall, he looked up at the overcast sky and smiled (just a bit). It looked like it might rain and that made Jon feel comfortable. It was odd, because just that morning the cloudy weather made him feel depressed. But now, he liked it.
People driving by gave him odd looks, as did other people working in their yards. It must have been how he looked that made them stare at him. Jon wasn't sure, but maybe these people (who were neighbors that he knew well) have never seen him before. Zoe had really only gone out at night. Maybe the same was now true for Jon.
I wish they'd stop staring at me, Jon thought. Why don't they mind their own fucking business?
After about ten minutes of walking, Jon made it to the mall. In the parking lot, he noticed his car, which apparently was Zoe's car now (although he wasn't sure how she'd be able to drive, since she was still only about 15). This was good news. It meant that Zoe was definitely at the mall.
Now all Jon had to do was find her.
