Common -- Billions; Book 1
Chapter 7
Previous ChapterWhen I think of those last words Daddy said. "Daddy's got ya." I sit and cry. Dad died saving my life from Discord, and mom is out in town. I should be with her, but she has just the same strength as me. It would make no difference if we were together or alone. The phone rings. I know not to answer it. For any fact, it could be Discord. He can travel by phone. I wait until the phone stops ringing... But it doesn't... I wait about five minutes... Still doesn't stop ringing. I decide to pick it up... A gelding?! "Hello?" He speaks... "Hi, whom is this?" I ask. "The cops.... We just want to let you know that your mother has been attacked, she is died..." I begin to sob over the phone. Imaging her face, her soft blue mane. The time we sat outside on the first day of December 1st waiting for the first snow flake..... She's gone.... "Hello? Ms?" He speaks.
