The Next Generation

Chapter 9: The mysterious caller

(Phone Ringing)

I was awakened by the sound coming from my phone, someone is calling so I took my phone immediately, But I wonder who it is. When I checked it it's an unknown number, I pressed the Answer button and placed the phone near my ear.

"Hello?"

But the other line remained quiet, I can't hear any voice except the wind.

"Hello!"

But still no answer

"Hey! Who are you? Why aren't you answering me?"

Suddenly the one on the other line pressed the End Call Button. Why did he do that? He called me but then he didn't respond? Who is he? I lifted myself and sat on the mat. I think I already regained the energy that has lost to me.

I looked at my watch and it says 5:00 pm. What? So I slept for about 3 hours? God damn! It's too much. Suddenly I heard a voice coming from downstairs, I think its George. I'll go downstairs to figure out what's happening.

I stepped out of the room and walked towards the stairs.

George: You shouldn't let him go with you, you know how dangerous it is out there.

Roger: Yeah! But he insisted and look I took care of him while we're there! And one more thing Jaze is a wise and brave kid so he knows what to do in a dangerous situation.

Sharon: We know it Roger but he's still a kid, but we must be thankful that all of you were able to escape from that situation.

I heard them talking about me, I descended two steps but then they've noticed because of the creaking sound.

"Ahh it's me who insisted to go with them, so it's not Roger's fault if I die. So what are we up to?"

Stephanie: For now, we'll be Waiting till we run out of stocks.

Samantha: No! We shall not wait till it happened, it's a bad idea! The stocks they gathered will only last for 3 days.
