The family had just finished dinner, and were all in the living room watching a movie when the phone rang. "I got it." Joyce stood from the couch, made her way to the phone, and picked it up. "Hello?"
"Surprise." That voice only belonged to one person, and it sent shivers across her body and brought a nauseating pit to her stomach. She swallowed.
"What do you want?" She spoke quietly.
"What if I wanted to see my sons?" Joyce scoffed.
"Answer my question."
"$1,000." And Joyce laughed humourlessly.
"Why would I give you that?"
"Because if you don't, then I will gut those two brats while you watch and then I will take you for all that you've got before I kill you too. 1,000, Friday, your house, and if you call the authorities, you will regret it." The line went flat. Joyce put the phone back on the wall with trembling hands. She knew what Lonnie was capable of, even if he was such a dead beat. She knew what had to be done.
