Mortal Runes: Sanxi's Supernatural System

EPISODE TWENTY-SEVEN

CRANE'S APARTMENT.

JASON'S POV

I have not really gone anywhere else apart from Crane's apartment. Crane and I have been trying to work on something. He has brought up so many ideas in the past few hours. All through the night, we were up thinking of our next step. Mom called a multiple time asking to speak with Minato, but I told her that he lost his phone while trying to catch up with the interview. And I told her that Minato got the job just to make her happy. She called a few hours after that to speak with him again and I told her that Jason was already asleep but had sent his regards before going to bed.

I feel bad lying to her and hiding the truth from her but there is absolutely nothing I can do but lie and lie and keep lying. I cannot find a way to tell her that her son got missing and it was not ordinary but a supernatural being was responsible for the abduction. How would that sound to a mother? I don't know what to say to her because I know she'd probably want to kill herse
