In Lila’s dream, Declan was here, with her, in the bed. His bed. Hmmm, the sheets smelled like him. But a noise interrupted the intimacy. And continued.

She bolted up. Woke up. And heard the phone ringing. She rummaged for it. “Hello.”

“Lila, Nick here.”

She glanced at the clock. 5:15 a.m. “Is it Declan?”

“Yes.” He gave her the information they had so far from the president.

Lila was sure her heart stopped beating. Her hands shook. “So we don’t know anything?”

“No.” Even his voice was strained. “But we thought we should call you.”

Declan. Her Declan was hurt! “Y-you were right to.”

“Jim Manwaring is here, Lila. He’s sent people out to find Dec.”

“Oh. That’s good.” She sounded like an idiot with trite responses but she had no room for thought. She was filled with fear.

“Don’t tell the girls.”

“Of course not.” She blew out a breath and summoned her soldier instincts to deal with this.

“Why don’t you come over here, honey?”

“Um, maybe. After the girls go to school. But please call me as soon as you hear anything.”

“I promise.”

Lila disconnected, left the room and entered the kitchen. Thankfully the dogs didn’t awaken upstairs. After she made coffee, she sat down at the bar. Declan. In a mudslide. What irony. He’d been through war-zone duty countless times and except for a few minor incidents, came back unhurt.

Unable to stand the notion of Dec trapped or worse, she went back to his room, grabbed her laptop and opened to the browser. She typed in Mudslides in Peru. A host of sites came up. She clicked on the first one. Just general knowledge. Then the second. Specific occurrences. Nothing recent, like right now! Still, she shivered with the knowledge that almost anything could have happened to him.

Pushing the computer away, she rose and crossed to the hamper in the corner. Fished out one of his long-sleeved shirts that still smelled like him and put it on. Back at the bed, she slid under the covers, pulled them up.

And prayed.
