LUKE’S POV

With my phone pressed against my ears, I stood still in shock, right outside Andre’s mansion. My head was trying to process the voice I heard. I was still trying to grasp the situation. This could have been a dream, or maybe it was only reality. But me hearing my mother’s voice? Was I starting to go crazy, or what?

It really my mother talking, or had this person come to play mind games with me? No doubt, this was exceedingly absurd. It was about to make me go bananas.

“Push!” The caller said it loudly. I sat on my heels and slowly took my phone from the ground. “Now that’s a good boy.”

“Who are you?” I slowly asked. “You can’t be my mother. She’s dead! She died a long time ago.”
