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." Ethan frowned and quietly warned me, "Be careful. Don't give away our position." I gave them a grateful look before quietly getting out of the van and hiding in a nearby corner. I lowered my voice and asked with a hint of irritation, "Mom, I already told you I had an important operation today. Why are you calling me?"

Chapter 1

My mom, Lilianna Taverner, kept nagging me over the phone. "Maeve is getting married next month. What do you think we should give her? I've been thinking about it forever, but I just can't decide."

"What? Mom, I don't have time to think about this right now. I'm watching a suspect!"

"Just help me think of something. I really have no one else to ask. Do you think we should get her a bracelet?"

I took a deep breath and forced myself to stay calm. "Mom, catching suspects is serious business. We've already been watching this place for six hours. Can we talk about the gift after I'm done here?"

"But I'm worried we won't have enough time! I just want to decide soon. We have to give Maeve something nice for her wedding."

"Mom! I really can't talk about this right now. Just pick something useful, like a home appliance or something."

I was getting anxious. Every few seconds, I glanced toward the suspect's house.

"A home appliance? That would be a terrible gift. She's not even remodeling her house. Are you saying we should give her a refrigerator? Don't brush me off. Think about it again." Lilianna still refused to give up.

"Mom, just pick a few things first. I'll help you decide when I get home, okay?" I tried my best to stay patient.

"Fine. But don't forget! Call me as soon as your assignment is over."

Lilianna finally gave in.

After I hung up, I wanted to shut off my phone. But after thinking about it, I switched it to vibrate instead.

As a policeman, I could get a new assignment at any time. Our captain had made it clear that our phones could never be turned off or put on silent, so vibrate was the only option.

Once I got my emotions under control, I crouched down and slipped back into the patrol car. I focused on watching the suspect's house.

But about five minutes later, my phone started vibrating like crazy again.

I was so annoyed. I had completely forgotten that Lilianna always kept calling until someone picked up.

I should have just turned off my phone.

Captain Derek Cole glanced at me and helplessly waved me away, telling me to settle it first.

I ducked into a corner and answered the call again. Trying hard not to lose my temper, I said, "Mom, what is it this time?"

"I've been thinking, and I think jewelry would be a nice gift too. Do you think we should get her a bracelet or a necklace?"

Lilianna had no idea how desperate I was.

"Mom! We're tracking a serial killer gang! This is not a small matter! Please, just wait until I get home before deciding what to buy, okay?"

I couldn't stop myself from raising my voice. Then I quickly covered my mouth, afraid someone nearby might hear me.

"Okay, fine. We'll talk it over after you're done."

Lilianna finally hung up, and I let out a sigh of relief.

The suspect looked like he was about to leave the house, so I decided to turn off my phone. I couldn't risk Lilianna calling me again at the worst possible moment.

When I got back into the car, Derek glanced at me and let out a quiet sigh. "Henry, you're one of our key guys. For tonight's operation, you'll be leading the charge!"
