Hearing that made me laugh and lightened my mood. 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 my 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 remembered before I fainted.
