CHAPTER TWELVE

ALLIE SAT WITH Po on her lap and Dallas next to her in the crowded waiting room. They’d tried, but failed to reach Po’s parents. Dozens and dozens of worried mothers, fathers, wives and husbands pensively sat, hoping to soon hear about the loved ones being treated in the hospital, many of whom were already walking wounded themselves.

Allie glanced down at her own worn bandage, the one covering the cut she’d gotten in the surf, and thought, I fit right in. Allie watched sadly as a man with a bandaged arm held his wife, a woman with a splint on her leg, while they waited for news of their daughter. Allie met the glance of the worried mother and sent her an encouraging smile. She just nodded and went back to hugging her husband.

Po, the adrenaline finally wearing off, laid his head against Allie’s chest and fell asleep. She cuddled him as they waited. Allie didn’t like hospitals, as a rule. She’d spent a long time recovering in one after the accident that killed her father. She had been in her hospital bed when her mother had delivered the bad news. Allie had been asking to see her father for days. He’d died before he’d ever made it to the hospital, but she hadn’t known it until much later.

“We should try messaging his mother again,” Dallas said, looking at the sleeping boy.

Po hadn’t known his phone number, but he did know his mother’s first and last name. Dallas had found someone on Facebook he thought might be his mother, and had messaged her through the site, hoping she was the one.

“We don’t know if that’s even her account,” Allie pointed out.

“Or if she made it,” Dallas added, grimly.

Allie hugged the boy a little more tightly. “Let’s not think like that,” she said, watching the boy’s peaceful face as he slept. “We could try calling the police again.”

“Why? To be put on hold? The last time we waited for fifteen minutes! They’re out dealing with life-or-death emergencies. We’re not in any danger. I’d put us on hold, too.” Dallas shifted in his seat.

Before they could come up with a plan, Jesse hurried through the entrance doors, her tear-streaked face frantic.

“Where is he? Oh, God! Is he okay?” The torture on her face made Allie’s stomach twist into knots. Allie didn’t have brothers or sisters and didn’t know what it was like to have a sibling. She’d always wanted one.

Dallas embraced Jesse, explaining about Kai being in surgery. Dallas gave up his chair for Jesse, who collapsed into it, fretting and exhausted.

“How did you get here so fast?” Dallas asked.

“I borrowed Minnie’s car to get here, but she wanted to stay behind to make sure no one took her spot at the high school,” Jesse explained. “Who’s this little guy?” Jesse nodded to Po, who was sleeping in Allie’s arms.

“Kai saved this boy,” Allie said. “He’s a good man. He’ll be fine.”

It seemed to be the time for reunions, because Allie
