Her Bombardment of Calls

Summary

My mother kept calling me while I was on a stakeout.

I had been hiding inside a van, watching the suspects for six hours.

Then my phone screen suddenly lit up. The ringtone shattered the silence.

I panicked and tried to put it on silent, but I accidentally hit the speaker button. A faint sound came from the phone.

I felt terribly guilty and embarrassed.

If we alerted the suspect, our entire operation tonight would be ruined.

Captain Derek glanced over and saw that it was my mother calling. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't panic. Go take the call. Ethan and I will keep watch."
