Page 14 of Don't Fall For Her
“I’ve told you what I know. I promise. As soon as I know anything, you’ll know.”
I frown at Giovanna and she gives me a smile. She’s basically my sister and she acts like Leighton and Lynton. So I sigh at her.
“Don’t sigh at me. It’s rude.” She squints at me.
“Yeah,” Tristan says from his bed.
I flip him off as Leighton and Lynton walk into the room.
“Probably a good thing we didn’t bring the kids.” Lynton laughs.
I sigh at my sisters. See? They’re the same. All of them.
A few hours later, my heart monitor is all over the place because I’m worried about Felicity and Armando. No one’s heard from them and we finally had to call her brothers. At first they were mad at me for not telling them right away. But Giovanna got on and told them that was her call. It seemed to calm them down. They all wanted to come to Lake Renegade, but there’s nothing they can do here. So they decided to wait till we had more information.
“From what we’ve found out, the plane left Duluth a little late. But then it landed in Minneapolis, that’s where we lost them. We can’t get a hold of the pilot and air control says the jet is still parked. They’re sending someone to board it. It took a while because Lorenzo had to get the paperwork in order. Even though it’s our plane, he had to get them the permission to board. So that’s what we’re waiting on,” Sebastiano says to us. “And before you ask, we’re sending some of our family there now. They’re already on a flight to Minneapolis.”
It’s like he knew what I was going to ask. I hate being stuck in this fucking bed. I need to find Felicity.
“Are you sure you can’t discharge us?” I ask Giovanna.
“No. You had major surgery two days ago. You had a fucking pipe sticking out of your side. I understand why you want to be out. But no.”
“You can let me out. I only have minor injuries,” Tristan says.
Giovanna glares at him.
“I wouldn’t fuck with my sister.” Sebastiano laughs at the two of us.
Again, I sigh at them.
“What did I tell you about sighing at me?” Giovanna frowns at me.
“Is he doing that to you too? Fuck’s sake, Levi.” Leighton shakes her head at me.
I just stare at all of them. Apparently I’m not going to win this battle.
“Waiting is making me crazy. And the fact that I can’t do anything is even worse.”
“I get that. But if you hurt yourself more, what good are you to Felicity?” Giovanna says to me.
Fuck. I hate when they’re right. So I shut my mouth and wait.
Felicity
An hour into our flight back to Wintervale, the pilot informed us that he needs to land in Minneapolis. When I asked him why, he said there’s an emergency light that keeps coming on. I look at Armando and he’s frowning.
“When we land, I want you to stay close to me,” he whispers to me.
I nod and watch the pilot, he keeps looking back at us and talking quietly into his headset. I wish my damn phone worked up here.
Armando tries to get us closer to the door before we land, but the attendant that’s on the plane with us told him we need to stay seated. I’m starting to panic because I know something’s going on.
As soon as the wheels touch the tarmac, the attendant has a gun pointed at us.
“If you just cooperate, this will go smoothly. If you don’t? Well, we’ve got permission to shoot one of you.” He smiles at us.
“What is this about? You want us to follow your lead and not make a scene? Then tell us what the fuck you’re doing.” Armando frowns.
