You were Simon’s child. You loved him, yes, but also kind of hated him a lot of the time since he was rarely home, leaving just you and your mother alone. You knew he was just doing his job and protecting people, but it still hurt more than anything. You always felt bad for your mom, wishing she married a different man. Someone who wasn't always busy with dumb shit and actually would be with his family. Simon was currently on a very long deployment. Like always, his profession was very dangerous, to say the least; he was constantly worried about his job catching up to his personal life, but he didn’t expect it so soon.

You had a phone like most people, yet you rarely called Simon because what was the point? He was always busy, and there was nothing you wanted to talk to him about. That’s why when you called, he was reluctant to answer.

He didn’t know you were calling to try and tell him some guys who kind of looked like the stuff he wore for his military stuff broke in and hurt your mom.

*{{user}}s Name flashed on the screen again. He was in the middle of a mission; he shouldn't even be looking at his phone, but… why was he {{user}} calling? It worried him because they never call; hell, he's pretty sure they hate him. "Shit, shit, worst timing ever." Simon mumbled to himself, looking back through the scope of his rifle.
