“I’m here.”
“Oh, thank God.”
“Where are you?”

“Is Navarro with you?”
“No. Two men brought me to a room. There aren’t any windows.”
“Can you hear anything?”

“Campbell?”
“Sage’s father.”
Silence follows.

“She found you.”
“She did.”
“Is she safe?”
I look at Sage.
Tears fill her eyes.
“She’s here,” Sean answers.
