[ WP ] You hear your kid crying for help from their bedroom . But yesterday they left for a month long trip .

I could n't get the feeling out of my gut as I rushed down the hallway to my son's room. I threw open the door, thinking that maybe he had n't actually left for the trip with my husband, and he was just too scared to tell me, but there was nothing. The room was exactly how he left it: Hot Wheels cars thrown across the floor, bed sheets crumpled and sideways, and Tyrone, his favorite teddy bear, lying among the mess. 
 
 I snapped awake an hour ago in cold sweat. I was shaking violently and had a sick feeling in my stomach unlike any sickness I've ever had before, so I tried to run through what it could be. Maybe I slept wrong, and my body was trying to readjust itself, maybe something was n't sitting right in my stomach, or maybe it was almost'that time of the month'. But that did n't make sense, because it was n't supposed to be that time for another two weeks. 
 
 My son's voice came through the door again as he cried for help, but when I shoved open the door, there was nothing. *They're on a trip, * I tried to soothe myself, *everything is fine, he's fine, your husband is fine. He promised. * 
 
 I took a deep breath and flipped on the TV with a hot cup of coffee in my hands. It was four in the afternoon, but it was too early to drink wine, so coffee had to suffice. As I mindlessly watched an episode of *Shark Tank*, I nervously drummed my fingers against my mug. 
 
 A sharp ringing cut through the pounding of my heart, causing me to yelp and almost drop my mug. Clumsily, I felt my side for my phone and without checking the caller ID, I pressed the answer button and smacked it against my ear. 
 
 `` Hello?'' I asked. 
 
 I was expecting the caller to be my husband, letting me know that him and our son made it off the plane safe and sound and were relaxing at the hotel, but instead, the voice was unfamiliar. 
 
 `` Mrs. Trenton?'' The man said, his voice rough and strained. 
 
 `` Yes, who is this?'' 
 
 He hesitated for a moment and then inhaled sharply. `` I'm so sorry.''
