Having her son back with her was, by far, the best feeling in the world. After taking Gorgio for another appointment, Emily drove him back to her mother's house.
"Mother!" Emily called out as she peeked her head into the door, and there was no sign of her mother. Gorgio pushed past Emily, ran into the house, and began calling out to his grandmother as loudly as possible.
"Gorgio, be quiet!" She yelled at him, but that was not enough to stop him from making a ruckus, running around, and disappearing into the hallway. Emily's heartbeat was in her chest as soon as her son's voice was no longer heard. Immediately, her mind thought of all the worst possible scenarios that could have occurred.
Could it be the murderer? She thought to herself as she began tiptoeing into her mother's house.
