Chapter Five

It’s been eight hours since the man called. I’ve


checked my phone every five minutes for an email or a
missed call or a text.
Nothing.
He didn’t say when he was going to talk to his wife.
He might be waiting for the perfect moment. That could
be weeks or months. Or maybe he already talked to her
and she decided she didn’t want communication.
Maybe I’m going to spend the rest of my life looking
down at my phone, waiting for them to contact me. I
should have told him to at least tell me if they chose not
to communicate with us. At least then I would have a
definitive answer.
“Your turn, Daniel,” Jack says to me.
I rest my phone back on the table and roll the dice. I
suggested we all play Monopoly when Jack and Karen
got home earlier. I needed my mind to be on something
else, but this game is so damn slow. Holder demands to
be the banker because he doesn’t trust me and he counts
everyone’s money three times.
I move my thimble and land on Park Place. “I’ll buy
it,” I say.
