DANIELA
I’m aboutto pour a second cup of coffee when I grab my phone to return Raven’s calls.
Hmm.She left voicemails just a few minutes ago.
I listen to the first one.
“Daniela, it’s Raven.Please call right away.”
Okay…
The next one.
“It’s me again, Dani.Hawk’s not answering his phone.Are you two okay?Please call.It’s urgent.”
Urgent?
I gulp.
Urgent?
I quickly return the call.
And get sent straight to voicemail.
“This is Raven.I’m busy at the moment.Please leave a message.If you’re calling about the Raven’s Wings Foundation, please contact my assistant…”
I stop listening until I hear the beep.
“Raven, it’s me.I’m fine.Hawk is fine.I promise you.I’ll be home soon.”
She sounded really upset.I guess I can’t blame her.I told her and Vinnie that I would probably be spending the night here at Hawk’s, but of course she’s concerned.Who wouldn’t be, given my background?She doesn’t even know the whole story.
If she did, she’d never let me out of her sight again.
I set down my phone.
Hawk enters the kitchen, his face rigid and much paler than usual.
I raise my eyebrows.“Hawk?Is everything okay?”
He draws in a deep breath.“I’m sorry, sweetie, but I need to take you home.And then I need to get to the hospital.”
“Hospital?”I grab his hands.“What is it?Your dad?”
He shakes his head, clearing his throat.“My brother.”
“Falcon?”
“Eagle.He…”
“What?”I wrap my arms around his waist.
“He was the one who kept trying to call me last night.”He rubs at his forehead.“Even came here.And I…”
