Then I grabbed the car keys.
I don’t remember how I drove. I just remember coming in front of my mother’s house and seeing Daniel’s car parked at the entrance.
The front door was locked.
“Daniel!” I shouted as I knocked on the door with my fists. OPEN THIS DOOR!
A moment later, he showed up.
“Mom?” What’s going on?
Where is Grandma?
“He’s upstairs.
“Get away!
I pulled him away and ran to the bedroom.
My mother was sitting on the edge of the bed, hugging a framed photograph of my father.
His face was covered with tears.
Next to him was the black bag open.
Inside were family photographs, a small notebook, several envelopes and a thick folder with the name of a medical clinic.
“Mom!” I exclaimed, kneeling beside her. Did he hurt you?
