I Got a Call From My Mom Three Years After She Died Chapter 9
Professor Price, my father’s old friend and colleague, explained the whole story to me.Dad had been developing an advanced algorithm capable of detecting and defending against cyberattacks.The technology was incredibly valuable.Michael Dawson had been bought off by foreign interests and tried to steal it.When Dad found out, he refused to cooperate.So Michael arranged the car crash.After Dad died, Mom began receiving threats.Michael used my safety to force her to cooperate.Mom pretended to cooperate, but she had actually been trying to find a way to get information to me.Before she died, she had recorded some samples of her voice.Michael used those recordings against me.Federal counterintelligence eventually noticed something was wrong and began investigating.They also started protecting me, but they had to operate in secret to avoid tipping Michael off.“The trust fund your father left you is real,” Professor Price said at last. “Everything has already been arr

The car headed farther and farther out of the city.The surroundings grew more deserted with every mile.I knew that once we reached wherever they were taking me, I would never come back.But I couldn’t just die like this.I still had a backup of the evidence.I had copied the video from the memory card and hidden it inside an air vent in my apartment.If someone found it, Michael Dawson wouldn’t be able to get away with what he had done.The question was, who would ever think to look for it?Suddenly, the car slammed on the brakes.The tires screeched against the pavement.Someone was standing in the middle of the road with both arms spread wide, blocking our path.It was the old man from the flea market.“Get out of the car.”His voice wasn’t loud, but there was an unmistakable authority in it.Michael rolled down his window.“Old man, mind your own business.”The old man walked toward us, holding an old cell phone.“I already called the authorities. They’ll be here

I stood there gripping my phone, my whole body trembling.So all of this had been Michael Dawson’s scheme.Those calls from “Mom” had been meant to control me and keep tabs on me, making sure I never discovered the truth.And like an idiot, I had walked straight into his trap, one step at a time.But now I knew.I had the video.I had Dad’s documents.I could bring Michael down.At eleven the next morning, instead of going to the abandoned textile factory on the south side, I took all the documents to the FBI office.I needed to find Agent Cole and tell him everything.At the front desk, I asked to see him.The receptionist made a call, then said,“Agent Cole is in a meeting. Please have a seat.”I sat in the waiting area for twenty minutes.The longer I waited, the more uneasy I became.Just as I was about to leave, Agent Cole appeared.“Mr. Carter? What are you doing here?”He looked surprised to see me.“I have important evidence about my parents’ case,” I said qui

Agent Cole leaned forward.“Mr. Carter, did your father leave you any documents or information? Especially anything related to his research?”I hesitated.Could I trust him?Mom had warned me about the police, but Agent Cole seemed sincere and professional.“My dad... left me a few personal belongings. Mostly keepsakes.”In the end, I decided not to mention the envelope.“No technical documents.”Agent Cole studied me for a moment before nodding.“If you remember anything, contact us anytime. We’ve officially reopened the investigation into your parents’ deaths. We’ll be in touch.”As I left the FBI office, a chill ran down my back.If Agent Cole was telling the truth, then Michael Dawson, the man who had comforted me at my parents’ funeral and told me I was like a son to him, might have been the one who killed them.The moment I got home, I took the memory card out of the freezer and inserted it into a card reader connected to my computer.There was only one video file.

I kept reading.‘First, I owe you an apology.For keeping the truth from you all these years.And for the danger I may have left behind.Your mother and I may not have died in an accident.'My fingers tightened around the letter.'My company was developing proprietary technology that certain people desperately wanted.All of my research data and patent documentation were moved to a secure location. The information you need to find them is included with these documents.I also established a trust in your name. There is enough money in it to ensure you never have to worry about supporting yourself.But be careful.The people who want the technology may come after the money too.Remember this.Trust no one.Including…’The sentence ended there.Everything after the word including had been completely blacked out.I tilted the page toward the light, but there was no way to make out what had originally been written.I turned to the documents underneath.There were legal pap

Mom sounded unusually urgent.“Honey, don’t go to the bank tomorrow.“Your father’s birthday gift isn’t safe to pick up yet.”I frowned.“Why? You said it was for my twenty-third birthday.”“Things have changed. The bank isn’t safe.”Her voice grew more urgent.“Listen to me. Stay home tomorrow. Don’t go anywhere.”“Mom, what are you afraid of?”I tightened my grip on the phone.“Who’s after us? What did Dad leave me?”Static crackled through the line.Her voice came and went, and I could only make out fragments.“Trust fund... your father’s company... they want... Honey, remember... don’t trust...”The call suddenly cut out.This time, it didn’t sound like she had hung up.It sounded as if the connection had been forcibly severed.I immediately called back.The same automated message answered.“The number you have dialed is not in service.”I didn’t sleep at all that night.By morning, I had made my decision.I was going to the bank.I needed to see what Dad had
