CH 60: The Phone Call

Aaron appreciated the idea of calling home:

- That's a good idea, I want to hear Diana's voice.

They went to a phone booth. Aaron looked very nervous while calling his house number. He missed his wife and his son so much that he felt that his heart was about to burst when someone answered him:

- Who is it?

- Mom!

- AARON!

-....

- AARON! IT IS YOU, RIGHT?

- Yeah! How are you doing?

- DO YOU HAVE ANY NEWS ABOUT TAROU?

- He is fine, mom. He is just trapped somewhere, and we are getting closer to him. It won't take that long. Are you okay? What about Dad and Diana?

Anna's voice was shaking:

-.... We are not okay, Aaron. You have to come back as soon as possible.

- What's wrong?

At that moment, Alan snatched the phone from her:

- Hello Aaron, it has been a while.

- Dad, what's going on?

- Nothing major, just focus on finding your brother.

Aaron felt that his father was hiding something from him.

- Alright, we are getting closer.
