MOM
"What do you mean she's dead?" I yelled, my voice slightly trembling.

"Come here child" She said assuredly beaconing for me to come closer."This is the realm of living and dead, you still have lots of unfinished work on Earth"
I wasn't even listening to her, she lost me when she said my mom was dead.

"How can I meet her?" I said with all the strength I could muster.

"Hold my hands" I obliged and held her hand, like magic, I was immediately transported in front of my mom but she wasn't wearing her baggy maternity gown but she was wearing a white flowy gown. Her stomach was flat.

She saw me and wrapped me in a bear hug, like she hadn't seen me in ages. We both cried in each other's arms but she didn't seem too confused as to why she was here.

"Mom, I don't understand what she said?"
Mom looked at me still teary in her eyes, she told me everything was going to be alright and maybe it was all for the best.

"What in the world are you talking about mom?. What do you mean it's for the best?. You dead? how am I supposed to survive?. She said I wasn't dead so I'm probably in a coma or a dream of some sort" I said pointing to the young lady that stood beside me.

"It was an accident but maybe it wasn't, you are a strong girl, you've always been. I want you to direct your strength to something else, Your dad was working on some cases before he died, he told me the info before he died and it was sure a dangerous one." I gulped taking in all she was saying, to be honest I really didn't understand. I am just sixteen years old, was I going around now solving crimes?. " He gave me a book, it's in the safe. Fight for us Alisha" She looked at m pleadingly

"Hmmm, okay?. So you're telling me that dad's case probably got him killed and a book and some stuff. What am I supposed to do about that, I'm still a child that just got orphaned and you're going about talking about crime cases?" I said raising my voice above normal. Did mom realize I didn't know why I was in this place?"

"Alisha, you don't have the time. Reality is hitting now, face it and safe yourself. That's the only way you'd be safe, really" She said straing the last word a bit.

"Ok mom, what is the safe passcode"

"It's 1298"

"Your time is up" I turned around finally remembering there was someone behind us. I hugged my mom once more reluctant to let her go. I felt a hand on me and I was back in the interrogation room hugging myself.
