Chapter SIXTY ONE

  THEME: Where is Leroy?

  LOS ANGELES, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA.

  FEW MONTHS LATER

  Ivy dragged herself lazily out of bed and she headed towards the bathroom to pee. And as she did her thing she remembered what the day was—Friday. Ivy motioned out of the bathroom as her gaze flickered on the wall clock. The time was 5:30 p.m which only means that Leroy would have been back from school since over two hours and thirty minutes ago.

  "Did I sleep for so long?" Ivy mumbled to herself. She concluded that Leroy might not want to disturb her sleep that's why he didn't make an attempt to wake her up.

  She grabbed her cellphone and headed out of the room. "Leroy." Ivy called out as she closed the door slightly behind her.

  "Leroy, are you home?" She charged towards her son's bedroom hoping that he was sleeping in bed.

  "Leroy are you—" Her voice trailed off when she met an empty space on the bed.
