ZERO'S POV
"Hey, mom! Is… something wrong?"
My mother never calls this hour—four in the morning and all that—except for emergencies. Bad emergencies that I instantly got worried that something might have happened to her or to father; but then she laughed and all my worries went away in an instant. That made me sigh in relief.
"Oh, my silly boy, nothing happened." My pauses as if someone took her attention for a moment. "I just wanted to check in before we go. We're about to fly off for a business meeting in Berlin."
That made me sit up. Usually if they would go outside the country, they would tell me in advance so I can at least go with them in the airport. They also never take the flight hours like this, so I am assuming that this is a very important yet rushed meeting.
