I cursed. “Ski’s got a lot of friends.”
“She does, which is normally a good thing.”
“Okay. Thank you for letting me know, and I’ll start doing the rounds. Ski forgets that I used to live here too. I know her old haunts.”
“Try the hospital first. Maybe they can help you somehow?”
“Skylar doesn’t have me on any of Zoey’s paperwork. I’m on some of hers, but not for this. I’ll call and see, but I’m not holding my breath that they can help.”
“Keep me updated and loop me in when I get to town to beat your ass on the ice.”
We ended the call on a chuckle, and it was then that I realized I’d driven to Rain’s hotel. I hadn’t even thought about where I was going. Autopilot had brought me here, but considering the situation, I couldn’t bring myself to leave. Rain and I hadn’t talked since the last time I was here, which had been a week ago for our hate fuck. I didn’t know what else to call it. I would never stop hating her brothers. And I wasn’t sure about my feelings for Rain anymore. The time when I could’ve asked questions about her relationship with them seemed to have passed, but I knew Rain grew up here as well.
I didn’t think she’d still been at the rink when I left.
Pocketing my keys, phone, and wallet, I hopped out of my truck.
This should be fun.

RAIN
Iwas headed down the hall from my hotel room, planning on using the hotel gym for once, when the elevator doors opened and Tyler stepped out.
I stopped in my tracks as he headed my way.
Backtracking, I tried to return to my room, but the door had already swished shut behind me. Panic flared as I grabbed the door handle, leaning into the door, but it had locked, and my key card was in my bag. The end result: my forehead hit the door.
“Ouch.” I rubbed my head.
Tyler chuckled behind me, dark and ominous.
I gave him a side eye.
He folded his arms over that leanly muscled chest of his. “Did you forget something? It looked as if you were leaving your room. Could there be a reason you’d suddenly try to go back in?”
I scowled. “What are you doing here?”
He dropped his grin. “My sister’s avoiding me, and I just got a concerning call from a buddy of mine. I need to find her.” He nodded toward me. “You’re local. Thought you might help me look for her.”
“My apartment is in Kansas City. I’m here for work.”
He frowned. “Wait. What?”
I didn’t want to have a conversation about me. “What’s going on with your sister?”
He walled up right away. My tactic worked. “I just gotta find her, check on her.” He turned and motioned for me to follow. “Come on. She knows my truck, so you’re driving. You got a rental car, right?”
I didn’t move, just watched as he went to the elevator. When he noticed I wasn’t following, he gestured impatiently. “Let’s go. What are you waiting for?”
Such a dickbag.
I didn’t need to do this. But if something was wrong with his sister…
How much help could I be anyway?
“Rain.” Tyler stopped at the elevator.
