238: DON’T DO THAT

LUKE’S POV

With my hands fixed on the steering wheel, I had my eyes on the people around. I was really curious to know why there was a crowd around there. I knew we shouldn’t be distracted in our search for Janice, but my inind was telling me to go and check out what was happening around there.

“What do you think is going on out there?” I asked Ariel who was as curious as I

was.

“I don’t know,” she answered.

“Don’t you think we should go check it out?” I suggested, although that was the feat going on in my mind. It was something I was going to follow through with anyway. Ariel’s opinion didn’t matter in this one.

“We have to find Janice. We can’t waste any more time.”

I laughed softly. “I knew you were going to say that. Don’t worry, okay? We will find Janice.”

She took her eyes off me, setting them back on the road.

“Right after I’m done checking that out,” I added and drove in that direction, where the people were.

I got out of my car and these folks were close to a three–story building, which stood tall and proud, its brick facade shining in the warm sunlight. It was a striking sight, with its height reaching up to about to sixty feet, I’d say. It was extremely tell and on top of that building was a familiar face. A person that I would hate and love at the same time. It was my mother.

She stood at the edge of the building, looking ready to end her life. People were pleading with her to come down, but it was like everywhere was mute to her. No. one’s words were going through her ears.”

“Ariel stood close to me, not taking her eyes off the scene as well. “Luke, isn’t that…”

“My mother? Yeah, I know,” I cut her off.

“Is she trying to kill herself?”

“That’s what we’re seeing right now.”

“I think you should go and stop her,” Ariel suggested. I glanced at her immediately. “What’s with that face, huh? She’s your mother.”
