Chapter 13: Jackie - Investigating

My phone rings. I grunted as I rolled over to the other side of my bed. I looked at my phone and it read “Mom.”

I answered up and said, “ Ya? What is it?”

Marie responds excitedly, “I have something that could help our search for the fragments.”

I hung up and stretched. I changed my clothes and the phone rang again.

I answered in annoyance, “ What?”

Marie blurts out, “ Are you seriously giving me attitude right now? This is important! Are you coming down?”

I sighed, “Yes I am coming down now.” I hung up.

I yawned as I walked down the stairs.

There she is. Typing on her computer as usual. Come on mom! I was having a really good sleep.

She noticed me standing behind her and said, “ Good morning. How did you sleep?”

I rolled my eyes and said, “Very funny. I should be asking you the same question.”

She half smiles and said, “ I didn’t sleep yet”

I glanced at a pile of empty cola cans on her desk and said, “ I can tell.”
