My hand went numb, and I dropped the phone.
I swayed on my feet and would’ve gone down but for Ryker suddenly appearing to hold me up much like Saylor had at Gio’s funeral.
She was at the hospital.
Hurt.
Maybe bleeding.
Because of me.
Because I hadn’t been there for her.
Again.
I couldn’t lose her. I just found her.
Fuck.
“Saylor,” I whispered, my mouth barely moving. “I gotta get to Saylor.”
“Right, I’m driving,” Leif announced, waving my phone around. “You two good to drive yourselves, and we’ll meet you there? Zanna, come with us in case we need some recon.”
Ryker guided me the whole way to the car while he and Beau argued something about how he could get info out of the nurses easier than Zanna could. Or something. I don’t know. I wasn’t exactly paying attention.
I was too busy thinking about how I couldn’t lose Saylor.
I just found her.
