Grant

Grant watched his father sink to a chair as the neurosurgeon left them. His mother was out of surgery. She was going to be fine. Their group had been moved to a special waiting room away from the general one because reporters started showing up. They’d been in their own private hell for four hours. Christ.

The epidural hematoma was not as serious as first diagnosed although they did have to perform surgery to relieve pressure to the brain.

“Thank God. Thank God,” the senator muttered. Grant had a hand on his father’s shoulder and his other arm around Val who was quietly crying in relief. He had to be the rock for his father and sister, so he had blocked out Blaire’s anguished face. He could imagine the guilt she was carrying, but he couldn’t go to her, not when his family needed him more. He didn’t even remember his words to her in the ER. He’d been lost in the horrifying possibility that he could lose his mother because he had chosen to fall in love with Blaire. He couldn’t deal with her too.

“Hey, she’s going to be okay now, Val,” Grant murmured as he kissed the top of his sister’s head.

“Oh, Teddy, I thought we were going to lose her for sure.”

“She’s a fighter,” the senator said, reaching out to Val. Grant handed his sister to his dad. His mother was not out of critical condition yet because of the probability of complications, and there was a possibility she may require a secondary operation. She was in recovery right now. As they waited to see her, he knew he needed to call Blaire and let her know his mother was out of surgery and the prognosis was good. It wasn’t a smart idea for her to come to the hospital just yet, not when he had no clue where his father’s head was regarding his woman. Val—he knew without a doubt how she felt about Blaire, but he’d handle that soon enough. They weren’t sure if it was the ROC or the neo Nazis who were responsible. It could even have been a freak accident.

He frowned when he stepped into the hallway to see cops crawling about in the waiting room. His dad’s security detail was guarding their private room, but his men were nowhere in sight.

“Morris, what’s going on?” All those cops can’t be here regarding Mom’s accident, can they?

“There’s been an incident in the parking lot. Andy was shot.”

“What? How?” Goddammit. Why?

Morris nodded to where Jake was fast approaching, face grim.

“Donovan, what the fuck is going on?” Grant met his head of security halfway. “I heard Andy was shot.” His eyes zeroed in on Tyler who was talking to a Boston cop and his blood iced. “What’s Tyler doing here?” he growled. “I told you to have him take Blaire home. Who’s. With. Blaire?”

“Mr. Thorne …” Jake hesitated.

Grant backed away from him, the distressed look on his man’s face sent a riff of foreboding up his spine. “No,” he whispered.
