“MANDI! MANDI! I SAW HIM!!”
Mandi pulled the phone from her ear to save her ear drum from Jayson’s frantic voice.
“Saw who?”
“LUCIPHER CROSSE! HE WAS HERE AND THEN HE WASN'T!”
Mandi could hear the fear in his voice.
“Okay listen, just come back here. We are in this together. I got your back and you have mine. Okay? Okay. See you soon.”
Mandi hangs up her cell phone. She hesitates for a few seconds before dialing another number. She waits a few moments as it rings and her shoulders slump when it goes to voicemail.
“Oh great. Voicemail again. I guess I’m not surprised since you didn’t show up last week. I don’t even know why I’m calling you. It’s just…..Jayson and I….we might be a little bit in over our heads here.
Unbeknownst to Mandi, Lauren started to come down the stairs for a drink of water but she stops when she hears her mom talking.
“I guess I was hoping you’d come help even the odds? We could sure use it…”
Lauren slowly nods her head and runs back up to her room.
“Call me back….”
She hangs up the phone and sets it on the table. She sighs as she contemplates her next move.
Fade.
