CHAPTER ELEVEN

Trevor’s face was etched with fear as he dialed the phone then handed it back to Moses.

“Emile. I don’t have a lot of details to give you right now, but Mika has been shot. He was shot in the chest outside the club a few minutes ago. They’ve taken him to St. Agnes, and I’m on my way there now. I will arrange to have Trevor pick you up from the airport. I’ll call you when I get to the hospital and give you an update on his condition.” There was a short pause. “I will, and hang in there. I’ll call you shortly.”

“Was that his father?”

Moses nodded, sliding his phone back in its pouch. “I need you to really hurry when we get to your house.”

“I know. I’m just going to wash my hands and change clothes. I don’t even want to go home. I want to go straight to the hospital, but I understand I can’t go waltzing in like this.”

“Good girl,” he whispered as we pulled into the drive.

I ran inside my house and straight to my room. Within three minutes, I had washed up, changed, and was back in the car and buckled in.

As Moses raced toward the hospital, a blanket of fear hung heavy in the air.

“Moses, what am I supposed to say to the detective?”

“Probably not much. I’m sure George has taken care of most everything. Just follow his lead, okay?” He gripped my hand with a brief reassuring squeeze, and I silently nodded. The remainder of the ride to the hospital was eerily silent.

All three of us rushed into the emergency room, frantic for information about Mika. When a tight-faced nurse informed us she could only give patient information to family, I thought Moses was going to wrap his beefy hand around her throat and strangle her. Luckily for her, his cell phone began to ring, and he answered it with a frustrated growl.

“Emile. We just got here. They won’t tell us a fucking thing because we’re not family.” He paused. “Yes. One moment.”

Moses thrust the phone to the closed-mouthed nurse. “It’s Emile LaBrache, Mika’s father.”

The nurse took the phone with an air of annoyance. At first, she appeared distracted and uninterested, but abruptly her face went slack as she blinked and swallowed tightly. A dark crimson hue burst over her cheeks.

“He was brought in twenty-two minutes ago. He expired en route, but the paramedics revived him. After being triaged, he was immediately taken into surgery. He is in critical condition.”

The nurse paused. He’d expired en route? No, Mika. No.

“No, sir. I don’t know how much longer he’ll be in surgery. I can get that information for you though. Would you like to hold?” She nervously licked her lips and nodded. “Yes, sir. I understand. I will relay your wishes to the staff in surgery as well as ICU. Yes, sir, everyone. Thank you.”

She quickly passed the phone back to Moses as if it were a snake.

“Emile.” Mosses nodded as he listened to whatever Mika’s father said.
