Under the Aspens (The Aspen Series) (12 page)

That is, until we rounded the next corner.  Blue and red lights were flashing near my house.  I could see a portly police officer putting my
Mom in the back of a squad car.  She was handcuffed! 

I forgot about Connor and
the note from April, and sprinted to my house as the police car containing my Mom drove off.  I don’t know when I started crying, but tears were streaming down my face.  At first, I figured it was just snowflakes that landed on me, melting.  I was screaming, trying to catch my mother.  I didn’t know what was going on.  As I reached my house, a tall, middle-aged, uniformed officer asked if I was James Nelson.

“Where did you take my Mom?” I screamed, through my sobbing and tears.

“It’ll be alright, son,” the officer told me. “Are you James Nelson?”

“YES! YES!  Why did you take my Mom away?” I demanded.

“Because she isn’t your Mom,” the tall officer answered. 

That’s all I remember before I fainted.
