Chapter 2: The Call From a Ghost
Michael gripped my arm.
“Don’t let Vanessa leave.”
Vanessa’s face turned pale.
“He’s confused.
You can’t believe a word he says.”
Lily hid behind me, trembling.
“She knew who he was.
She told me never to feed him again.”
I stared at my wife.
“You knew Michael was alive?”
“I was protecting this family!” Vanessa cried.
Michael reached inside his torn coat and pulled out a small brass key.
“She visited the place where I was held captjve, but she wasn’t the one giving orders.”
“Then who was?” I demanded.
Michael’s eyes filled with fear.
“Our father.”
My stomach dropped.
Our father had been gone for eight years.
“That’s impossible,” I whispered.
Vanessa suddenly grabbed for the key, but Lily stepped between us.
Then Vanessa’s phone lit up on the table.
The caller had no number—only one word on the screen:
DAD.
Vanessa looked at me and said, “If you answer that, none of us will be safe.”
