We hustled out and entered Elken’s room.

I nudged her awake.

“Elken? You need to wake up, baby. Something’s happened and you need to come with us.”

Elken grumbled something about her sketches.

Her eyes were still heavy and shut.

I scooped her up, blankets and all, and carried her down the stairs.

Belle took an umbrella from the stand and held it above us so Elken wouldn’t get wet.

We rushed over to the parked shuttlecraft.

We ascended the ramp and I placed Elken in the row of chairs at the back.

“Can you sit beside her?” I said. “Make sure she doesn’t fall off the sofa.”

Belle strapped herself in and placed her arms in front of Elken.

I climbed into the front pilot seat and prepped for departure.

“What’s your address?”

Belle told me and I input the coordinates.

I took off before the hatch door had shut properly and peeled away into the storm.

The rain lashed the small craft, smothering the windscreen.

I was breaking half a dozen laws but the authorities could bill me.

The most important thing was getting to Belle’s sister as quickly—and safely—as possible.

I arched high to avoid other traffic and sailed over the city.

When the alerts flashed onscreen informing me I was breaking a multitude of laws, I switched them off.

I took us down a narrow street.

Belle pointed out the windscreen at her house.

“That one, on the corner.”

I brought the shuttlecraft down as close to the building as I could.

The hatch door whirred open.

I exited the shuttlecraft with Belle at my side.

“Computer,” I said, “shut the door and initiate full security lockdown. No one comes in or out until I return.”

Except with me, there was no safer place for Elken to be.

I rushed toward the front entrance with Belle, who didn’t even stop to tell me I didn’t need to come inside with her.

Even from outside, I could tell the building was in much need of repair.

As we entered, a wash of water rushed down the steps and flooded the front yard.

“Abbie?” Belle called out. “Where are you? Abbie?”

“In here!” Abbie yelled.

Belle took after the voice and I followed on her heels.

Abbie sat huddled in the corner in her wheelchair.

The floor was so warped and misshapen that one corner stood higher than the rest.

Belle hurried over and embraced her sister.

“Are you all right? Are you hurt?”

“I’m fine,” Abbie said. “Just a bit wet.”

She shared a nervous smile with her sister.

“We’ll head to a hotel and get this sorted out later,” Belle said.

“My ass you’ll go to a hotel!” I interjected.

Abbie turned to peer up at me, seeing me for the first time.

“Is that your boss?”

“The one and only,” Belle said witheringly.

“I should get a job where you work,” Abbie muttered.

“I have a big house with plenty of empty bedrooms,” I said. “You can come and stay with me.”

Belle shook her head.

“Out of the question. We’d prefer to stay at a hotel. We don’t know how long this might take to fix.”

“All the more reason for you to join us,” I said.

Belle’s jaw stiffened and she glared at me.
