31 Chapter 31

Already out of my chair, I hung up as I ran to the stairs, taking them two at a time, careful not to accidentally toss my phone down the steps as I flew. My sister would have to wait for the garage door to open, park her car, get out, shut her door, cross to the door that led to the foyer, open it, and close it behind her. I should have been able to beat her because I was really trying.

When I reached the bottom of the stairs where the door to the garage was located, I heard my sister's voice. In the kitchen.

That was not humanly possible.

Slipping my phone into the pocket of my jeans, I headed into the other room. My sister was talking to my mom, and as soon as I entered the kitchen, they stopped talking, but I did hear my mom say, "Maybe he's just having trouble coping with Drew's death." I didn't know who they were talking about, but I assumed it was Jack.
