We had a pack meeting that next night so everyone was at the house. After the meeting I was sitting in the living room with Mercy. Adam and Ben were in the kitchen making popcorn. I was looking out the window. I looked at Mercy. I started crying and shaking my head.
"Zadie what's wrong."
I just started to rock.
"Adam, Ben somethings wrong with Zadie."
"What do you mean."
"Just get in here now."
They came running in. Ben knelt down in front of me. I looked at him and threw my arms around him.
"What's going on babe."
"Gone."
"What does she mean gone?"
"I think I know what she means. She didn't make it did she?"
I shook my head and started to cry harder. I took a few deep breathes and grabbed my phone. I dialed Sam's number.
" She didn't make it did she Sam?"
" No sweetie she didn't. I was just getting ready to call you. We did everything we could. I'm sorry."
" I know you tried Sam. How is Zane?"
"He's doing great. Dad is leaving in the morning."
"Okay. Thanks for trying Sam."
I hung up the phone and looked at Ben. He hugged me and kissed my forehead. We sat in silence for a while.
"We do have a few questions for you Zadie."
"Okay ask away."
"You said you signed custody of Zane over to your mother. Well with her gone what happens to Zane?"
"Well custody goes back to me. We already set it up with the lawyer. It's in the custody papers."
"Okay what about the funeral?"
"Well she wants to be cremated and her ashes spread in this little clearing in the woods."
"Okay well that's all the questions we had for you."
