Detectives Steel’s and Ruffin’s never-ending barrage of questions finally came to a mind-numbing close. Before they left, they gave Amata their business cards and made her promise to call if she thought of anything else.

The only thing she wanted to think about was Claude’s condition. The hours dragged and still no one came out to tell her anything. When she asked about his condition at the nursing station, they told her that since she wasn’t a family member, they couldn’t discuss anything with her. The stern glare the receptionist gave Amata didn’t leave room for argument.

Well, she never let a little thing like bureaucracy stop her before, and she’d be damned if she did now. Thank the Goddess the police gave her cell phone back. She stood in front of the glass windows, blindly looking out into the night, and didn’t hesitate to press the short key to Jordyn.

“Auntie? You okay? Wait, you’re not okay. I can feel you’re upset. What’s going on?” Jordyn’s psychic powers must be getting stronger if she could catch how Amata felt over a phone.

She heard a man’s grumble the background. Oh, she must’ve called in the middle of the night on the West Coast, catching Jordyn and Michael sleeping.

“It’s Amata. Something bad happened, and she needs our help.” Jordyn’s voice was distant as she answered her sleeping husband. “Oh, my God! Is he okay?” Her voice was back. Trust Jordyn to get to the point without Amata having to explain anything first.

“I don’t know! The assholes here won’t tell me anything because I’m not family!”

A nurse walked by with his eyebrows raised.

Amata turned and put her hand around the phone’s speaker. “I don’t think he’s going to make it. Are Michael or any of his brothers free to come here and check things out for me?” She didn’t want Jordyn traveling so far when she had to take care of baby Thea.

“Michael’s talking to his brother Raiden.” Perhaps telepathically. “Hang in there, and I’ll call you right back.”

Amata frowned and clicked the call off. Staring at her reflection in the glass, she clenched her hands and zoned out. With a quick glance around the empty waiting room, she considered getting some coffee at a vending machine across the room.

The phone rang.

“That was fast.” She gave a nervous laugh. “What did…”

“Hello, Amata.” A soft baritone spoke behind her. “Are you okay?”

Amata spun around and her eyes widened when she saw Jordyn’s brother-in-law, Raiden, behind her.

“Aaaand… there he is. He’ll explain what he can do. Call me later when you get a chance.” Jordyn disconnected their call.

Amata put a hand to her chest. “Oh, my Goddess. How did you get here so fast?” Over the last few months, she’d experienced Raiden’s and his brother’s extensive psychic abilities, but she never realized he could appear and disappear like that in a place he couldn’t be familiar with.

She looked around to see if anyone noticed him. “Aren’t you afraid someone will see you like that?”

Raiden scratched his temple and pulled his platinum hair behind his slightly pointed ear.
