Mansion 2: chapter 10

Sonic's POV

We were obviously heading north. The dropping in temperature made me know that. Winter was approaching in a few weeks, so it would be pretty cold in the northern part of the country. We had prepared for the cold weather because we had expected it. So gladly, we were not going to suffer from it. My thoughts went from Shadow to his father, James. I was wondering if i should tell him about Shadow's second kidnapping by that same guy. I'm worried about how he and his wife and kids would react. Last time they couldn't handle it and moved to another town to be able to start fresh and move on after three years of depression. But i knew that i couldn't hide it from them, either. I had to tell them. I decided to give James a call once we arrived a nearby gas station.

Unfortunatly, it didn't take long before we reached the next gas station. I walked away from the car a little bit and searched his number in my mobile phone. I was a little bit nervouse. James did tend to have a bit of a temper, after all. I found his number and called it. I held the phone against my ear and listened. I heard the dial tone, but recieved no answer, which was expected when you would call someone late at night. except for his voicemail, that is. I decided to explain everything through the voicemail. I sat back down in the driver seat and hoped that he would take it well.

James' POV

I walked home late at night when returning home from work. I hated doing late shifts like these. They exhaust me and keep me from having a good night sleep. I was glad when i finally reached my house. I grabbed the doorhandle and unlocked the door to afterwards walk inside and close it behind me. I walked into the livingroom and see if Jasmine had stayed awake like she had done before a few times to wait till i got home. She was no where in sight. Which i was glad for.

I turned and went to walk upstairs, untill i saw the red light of the phone turning on and off, indicating that someone had called and left a message. I grabbed the phone and held it against my ear. Somehow i felt anxious about listening to this message. As if i would regret listening to it. I ignored my anxiety and listened to the message that was left by my second eldest's lover.
