I think the young man is John-Mark, the author himself, over whom Paul and Barnabas parted company in Acts 15:38-39. I believe His mother's house is likly the location of the "upper room" of the house church in Acts 1 :12, and where the diciples partook of the last supper Mark 14 before unexpectedly (to them not Jesus) leaving for gethsemane after Judas left to betry Him. Returning with the temple guards (because he couldn't tell them before hand where they would be because of Jesus' unusual instructions in 14:13-15 had hid the location from Judus)finding them gone figures they probably went to Gethsemane and goes there, John/Mark awoken (at his mother's house by the temple guards and Judus, quickly pull about himself just a sheet and follows to see what is going on and in there by an eyewittness to what he later records with Peter's help in the Gospel of Mark. This also follow an existing pattern of litterature in which the author anonamously records his presence.
