“Hello?” Dawn answered on the third ring.

“Hello, this is Police Chief Phil Jones, may I speak with Joyce Summers, please?” the man introduced himself.

Dawn gasped; she couldn’t help the sudden intake of air at the shock of hearing someone ask for her mother. It would never get old or any easier when someone asked about her.

“Ma’am?” Chief Jones asked again as the silence stretched on.

“I’m sorry, she passed away six years ago,” Dawn forced herself to whisper into the phone.

“I uh…” he hesitated for a moment. Dawn heard him let out a deep sigh into the receiver, causing static to bounce through the line. “I didn’t know. I’m very sorry for your loss,” he finally added.

“I’m her daughter, Dawn. Is there anything I can help you with?”

“I’m afraid not,” Chief Jones quickly cut in.

Dawn raised an eyebrow at the Police Chief’s abrupt manner on the phone but then realized he couldn’t see her. “Well okay then,” Dawn snapped.

“May I ask you something?”

Dawn took a deep breath, trying to force the tears back, and barely succeeding. “Sure,” she finally agreed though she was on the verge of full-on tears.

“How exactly did your mother die?” the chief delicately asked her.

“Brain aneurysm. The doctors never saw it coming,” Dawn explained.

“Thank you for your time, Ms. Summers. Again, I am very sorry for your loss,” Chief Jones expressed his condolences.

“Thanks,” Dawn weakly replied and let her thumb slide over to hit the off button. She silently slid down living room wall, cradling the cordless phone to her chest. She didn’t try to stop the emotions as they raced through her body, tears streaming down her face, and her sides aching from the heart-wrenching sobs.

Sam ended the call and scratched Joyce Summers formerly Mitchell off his list.

OH! Wow, cool concept.

Thanks! I am not sure I am going to be continuing this particular verse, but I do have every intention to use this plot idea for another verse.

I loved the idea when you first told me about and now that I can read it, I love it even more. I would really be interested to see you develop this into it's own verse or put it into one of the two other Dawn-SPN verses you mentioned.

:-)

Yay. I'm so glad that you are available for me to bounce ideas off of. You just rock, rock my socks :)

I'm going to work this plot idea into the Dawn/Dean/Sam verse - it will work :)

Thanks again for the review :)

::sigh::

Its hard to repress such a memory. Even sader to watch it happen, well not watch but you know what I mean, lol.

Very nice piece. Is there more where this came from?

[azraelz-angel.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much!! I can only imagine how hard it must be to lose a parent. I would assume that you never fully get over that experience. And to have someone call out of the blue and ask for your dead mother would just throw you and ruin your day.

There will be more of this, but not in this particular verse. I'm going to incorporate this idea into an existing Dawn/Sam/Dean verse I have :)

Whoa, totally cool. Loved it.

[azraelz-angel.livejournal.com]

Thank you very, very much!! *beams*

[queencyane.livejournal.com]

Wow! Cool connection! Is there a part 2 in the works?

[azraelz-angel.livejournal.com]

There will be more of the idea, though it will be in a difference verse and handled slightly differently. I'll link when I get it finished :)

Thanks for the review!!
