Chương 39: You Ran Over a Child?

🅹🆄🅳🆈

"You get one call." 

The guard hands me back my mobile phone and I quickly grab it, worried he might change his mind.

The display is blurry and I try to calm down my shaking fingers.

It takes me a few attempts until I manage to open my phone list and scroll down to 'Goddess'.

I dial the number and take a deep breather.

After a few beeps, someone picks up.

"Hey, baby. Did you miss me?"

I try to speak slowly so she can understand each of my words. 

"Isa, you gotta come pick me up."

"Are you drunk?"

I look at the guard. He taps onto his watch, telling me to make it short.

"Please pick me up."

"Why? Isn't Cleo with you?"

"Yes, but she can't help. I did something stupid. Can you please come?"

She chuckles nervously.

"Okay, don't scare me. Where are you right now?"

I press my eyes together, fighting the migraine in my head. 

Another deep breath.
