Chapter 1 - Shocking phone calls

Adam Banks is sleeping soundly in his dorm room. He had a tough game that day. It was a great win. He had gotten back to his room exhausted and ready for sleep.

*Adams POV*

Rring. Rring.

Who the hell is calling me at 2 AM? Adam picked up the phone. Hello

Is this a Mr. Adam Banks?

Yes

Well Mr. Banks, this is Sgt. Duffy of the Edina police Department.

.OK.

I'm sorry to have to be the one to inform you that your parents, Phillip and Sharon Banks, were in a car accident .They were hit by a drunk driver.

What? Are you serious? Are they Ok?

*Silence*

Well? Are they OK?

The doctors did everything that they could, but I'm sorry they didn't make it.

*silence*

Adam , son, you still there?

Adam couldn't form words. He couldn't think about what was happening. Did this guy just tell me that my parents are dead.

Um ..uh.. yeah, I'm here. He could barely get the words out it felt like the wind had just been knocked out of him. It was as if he couldn't breathe.

Adam, We are going to need you to come home, There are some things that we need you here for.

Of course, I'll come home as soon as I can get a flight.

OK son, sorry about your loss.

Bye. As I hung up the phone, I just sat there in silence, trying to get a hold on things, and trying to let it sink in. My parents were dead. I will never be able to call my mom and talk to her again. I will never be able to sit back and watch a hockey game with my dad, arguing about who's better, The Rangers or The North Stars. I will never be able to tell them I loved them again. They were gone forever. What am I going to do without them? I'm only 16. I don't have any close family. My dad was an only child. My mom had a sister, Aunt Marie .I don't want to live with her. She has five kids already. Not to mention she lives in France. France is a nice place to visit, but I don't want to live there. I guess there's not much I can do about it. I let out a deep breathe. That's when I let the tears start to fall. My parents were dead.

*Gordon's POV*

Gordon, you have a phone call.

Thanks Casey. Hello.

Hello Gordon, It's Gerald.

Why is Ducksworth calling me?

Your name has come up in a will. We need you to come to the office.

Who's will, I don't know anyone who passed away recently.

It's complicated Gordon, please just come down as soon as possible.

OK, I'll be there in 15 minutes.

There's the first chapter I hope you like it, Let me know what you think
