The Hitting Zone

"I really don't know." Rose sighed again. "I think it may have been something his uncle said? Jeremy was supposed to be at the stadium at noon, but he sent me a text saying he had to go talk to his uncle. His uncle had his phone off and wasn't answering his calls to the house either, so I think he may have been worried. Now that it's close to game time, I heard him call the manager. Then he called me for only a brief second."

"And that's all he told you?" Zeke took the phone from Noah's hands.

"He told me that he had to go see his mother and that he wouldn't be back until tomorrow, but that I shouldn't worry." She let out a stressed laugh. "But now I'm very worried. That woman isn't good news and Jeremy seems very fragile right now."

"He didn't like what he heard from his uncle." Zeke squinted into nothingness. "I'll speak with my parents and try to help. Noah will text you if we find out anything."
