"How's dad doing?" I heard him whisper.
SILENCE
"Oh" he replied a depressed tone.
SILENCE
"I don't know where we'll get the money yet but we'll figure it out, okay?" I heard him say. "Just just stay with dad until I get there alright?"
SILENCE
What?
"Yeah it's okay put dialysis treatment on my credit card," he said.
He put the phone down and he looked down at the floor with a defeated look on his face.
He turned his head in my direction and I quickly turned away. Shit. I listened to see if I would hear any footsteps headed my way. I didn't hear him coming though.
What had that conversation been about? I wondered. Putting what I'd heard together it seemed Mike's father was in some kind trouble and they needed money.
