Chapter 6
We took the rest of the afternoon to go through the rest of the picture album. It was about 2 o'clock when we finished. Yet my mother hasn't showed up from her night from drinking. It really didn't surprise me but she usually crawls her way back so she can lose her hangover. I tried calling her cellphone but it was off like usual.
It was getting to be six o'clock and yet my mother hasn't shown up. I was starting to make dinner for me and Renamon, when all of a sudden the phone rang. When I looked at the caller identification display, it said California State Police.
"Hello," I answered.
"Yes, is this Adam?" A man said across the line.
"Yeah," I said.
"Son, I have some bad news," the man paused," your mother is in a serious car accident last night and, is dead."
I dropped the phone in shock, how could this happen,I thought to myself. Renamon ran over to me, ready for anything. The man's voice was still on the other line.
"Hello? Is someone there? Hello?"
I slowly picked up the phone and said, "yeah I'm still here."
"I'm terribly sorry for your loss. Someone from child services will be there tomorrow to pick you up, since you have no living relatives. I'm sorry for your loss, goodbye."
As I hung up the phone I calapsed to my knees on the floor in shock of what just occurred.
"Whats wrong Adam?" Renamon asked with a worried tone. When I didn't answer her, she went on her knees and lifted her right paw to raise my head so she could look straight into my eyes. "Please, tell me whats wrong," she said in the most comforting voice possible. All of a sudden, my emotions got the best of me and I started to cry. Renamon came closer and embraced me, trying to calm me down.
"My mother is dead, she died last night driving home." I answered in a teary mess. "Now, child services is coming to put me in a foster home."
"Ohh Adam, I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do?" She said. I thought about what she asked, and came up with an idea.
"Is there anyway to contact that digimaster guy again?"
"Yeah, you can contact him through your digivice, why?
"I absolutely have no desire to go to a foster home, and if I runaway the cops will find me and put me in Juvenile hall. So I figured we could go to the digiworld. We can train and live there, and the when the old man calls for us like he said he would, we can already be ready.
"We could try, but are you sure about this Adam? I mean the digiworld is a very dangerous place for a human."
"Yeah, I'm sure, plus I got you to protect me and visa versa."
"Alright, lets go to the digiworld." Renamon said with joy in her voice.
