Page 82 of Letting Go
Can we see if the Sheriff has the space for us to keep Marcie Claire Riley here in Forrest Falls for the initial interview?
Mason
I will inquire and let you know ASAP.
I know Vivian has said it’s hard to reach Liam on the phone, so I send him a text before calling Savannah.
Me
Liam, your sister is okay and stable, but she’s on the way to the hospital. She doesn’t want Eloise to know yet. She’s wondering if one of your brothers could pick up Eloise and your other nieces to go do something so Savannah can meet her at the hospital. Are you able to help me coordinate this for Vivian? I don’t have any of their numbers.
*Liam Callahan has added Jack Callahan, Ryan Callahan, Finn Callahan, and Murphy Callahan to the chat.*
That escalated a little quicker than I imagined it would.
Liam
Walker, why is my baby sister on the way to the hospital?
Murphy
Which hospital? What happened? Where is Eloise?
Liam
Savannah has Eloise, but Viv needs Sav at the hospital with her. Who’s in town and can get all the girls and keep them occupied? I’m a flight away but will be leaving as soon as possible.
Finn
I can be at her house in five minutes, just leaving a job site now.
Ryan
I’ll meet you there. Back up though, why the fuck is Viv on the way to the hospital?
Me
I’ll let her explain to all of you, but she has a bullet wound to her right bicep. Paramedics think it looks like a clean through and through, but we won’t know if she needs surgery until the doctors can assess her. We’re pulling up to the Forrest Falls hospital right now.
Murphy
WHO THE HELLSHOT MY BABY?
Ryan
What?!
Jack
What the hell is going on?
Liam
I want a name, and I want it now, Walker.
“I’m assuming you told my brothers,” Vivian says as she hands me her phone that is vibrating with multiple notifications of incoming text messages and voicemails. “Would you mind holding on to that until Savannah gets here to take it?”
I slide her phone into my pocket. “I sent one text to Liam and suddenly all of your brothers and your father are yelling at me through text messages,” I tell her.
