The phone rang…..
“Mom?”
“Yes, you going to be home soon?”
.........
“Jerry?”
“Mom, i’m fine but I need you to come here.”
“What’s wrong…, where are you?”
“The corner of Gregton and Lisen.”
“I’ll be right there.”
She hung up and grabbed her keys, and ran out the door. She drove fast barely letting up on the gas pedal. She rounded the corner and terror filled her. There was a city bus lying on it’s side smoke and steam pouring from the bus windows but there was no fire. She jumped from the driver seat and ran to the police barrier.
“Where is my son!?”
“Calm down miss what is his name?”
“Jerry…... Jerry Lemores.”
The police officers face sank.
“I’m so sorry, we were to late, he was dead when we got to him.”
The mother shoved passed the police officer and ran to the roof of the bus which was now it’s side. She tried to climb the side. The officers grabbed hold of her and pulled her away. The tears streaming down her face.
“My son! My baby! I want my son back!”
