Chapter 34
The days until homecoming went by fast. On the morning of the happy day, Cel got a call from Ricky. It was urgent.
"Someone killed my cat!" Ricky told Cel.
"What?"
"Someone killed my cat. Oscar's dead!"
"Who did it?"
"I don't know, but we think it might have been a threat. He was found right outside our backdoor."
"Who'd threaten you?"
"I don't have a clue, but my mom thinks she might know."
"I'll be right over."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye." Cel hung up the phone.
"Who was it?" Mort asked, walking out of his room while drying his face. He had just shaved.
"Ricky," Cel said, grabbing a jacket. "Someone killed his cat and the police think it was a threat. He was found right outside their back door."
"Are you going over there?"
"Yes, can I take the car?"
"Sure, but be careful."
"Don't worry, I will. I'll be back in time for my hair appointment," Cel said, grabbing the keys. "Bye dad, Love you."
"I love you, too." Mort put the towel back in the bathroom and watched Cel pull out of the driveway through the window.
Mort went down stairs and sat on the couch. There was something about the dead cat that sparked a memory, but he couldn't place it, so he took a nap.
