A few days later, Emma waved goodbye to Molly and Wilby, and instead of doing paperwork got lost in the memory of an earlier phone call from Killian.

“Hello,” she answered, somewhat breathlessly.

“Doc,” Killian’s husky voice teased the cilia in her ear. “How are my girls?”

Emma swallowed hard, the image of Killian’s blue eyes as he bent toward her on Monday still having the power to get to her. “Your girls?” she barely squeaked out.

“Aye,” his chuckle was low and sexy, confident in how he was affecting her. “Trudi and...”

“Nina!” The fog cleared from her head in time for her to realize it wasn’t she he was referring to, but his new kittens.

“Huh!” He practically huffed. “How did you know Nina was the other kitten I would choose?”

Emma giggled, “I’m not the only one who’s an open book,” she tossed his own words back. “And your girls are fine and ready for their new home.”

“That’s ah fine.” He stammered over his words just like she had done when he had kissed her forehead.

His hesitant reply had her heart turning to mush. “Just fine?” she teased, remembering how her same response to him had made him crazy.

“Okay, more than fine,” he blurted out suddenly. “But bloody hell, Emma. What if I cock up and harm comes to those little buggers?”

Emma’s knees joined her mushy heart, turning to jelly all over his concern for a pair of barely one-pound kittens, “You’ll be fine. Trust me.”

“I do, Emma,” his weary sigh came through the line.

“What is it, Killian?”

“It’s Sydney.”

“He’s not...”

“No,” Killian hurried to assure her. “He’s fine...at least physically, that is.”

“I sense a but is coming,” Emma guessed.

“Aye, Doc.” Killian acknowledged. “Seems Sydney’s suffering from some form of amnesia.”

“He can’t remember anything?”

“Let me clarify,” Killian specified. “The last thing he remembers is running in the park with Buster, after that...nothing until he woke up in the hospital.”

“Which means, he could have seen something, but we don’t know, right?”

The conversation had worked its way back to his kittens and after promising she would send him a list of the needed necessities, they hung up.

Were they going to catch this person before more blood was shed?

Millicent hopped up on her desk and spread herself out across the computer keyboard. “I needed that.” Emma scolded, but couldn’t stop from scratching under the cat’s chin.

“This was your goal all along, wasn’t it?” Emma crooned to her purring pet.

With what could have been an excited trill, the cat stood and moved closer to rub her head against Emma’s hand. “Already spoiled, aren’t you?” But then again, that’s what they’re for, right” she decided, remembering how sick the feline had been when she was found.

“Emma,” Sadie called from the front. “Come quick.”

“Please don’t let it be another hit and run,” Emma whispered to Millicent, giving her one more pat on her way to the front.

“Sadie, it’s not...” Emma reached the doorway, but was quickly brought to a halt by the sight before her. “Do I even want to know?”

“Oh, these aren’t all from Gray,” Sadie explained.
