Leaving Dani and Simon in Tori’s and her partner’s capable hands made Adam feel a bit better as he walked to his car. He was grateful for friends he could call on when he needed them, but he wanted to make this trip as quick as possible. The flight would only be about thirty minutes. Basically up then down as opposed to a three-hour drive each way.

And he didn’t plan on staying long at the hospital. Just long enough to make sure his mother was going to be okay and let her know he loved her. She would understand. She’d have to. As mad as she might be with him for taking down her brother, she had a loving heart and she’d never want Dani to be in danger because Adam stayed with her. She had others she could count on. Dani and Simon didn’t.

His mom would understand. What Dani said about not being able to rebuild the bridge with his mother if he didn’t show up wasn’t necessarily true. With his father? Yes. If Adam didn’t come to his mother’s bedside, his father would probably have nothing else to do with him. But his mother would understand. He repeated the phrase until he almost believed it.

Kade slid the headset on. “Might be a bad storm coming up. You sure you want to do this?”

Adam paused. “A storm? How bad?”

“Doesn’t look too serious, but you never know.”

“I need to do it if you can keep us in the air and land us safely.”

“Right now that isn’t an issue.”

“I’ve got to get back too.”

Kade pursed his lips and nodded. “Then let’s go. The storm’s not set to hit for another three hours or so.”

Adam blew out a breath. “That’ll be cutting it close, but I’ve got to chance it. I need to talk to this guy and see my mom.”

Adam watched the darkening sky and wondered if he’d make it back before the storm broke.

He had to. While he felt pretty confident that no one had any way of knowing where they were, and he knew Tori and Nate could handle anything that popped up, he didn’t want to risk leaving them alone too long.

Ten minutes later, Kade had them in the air.

His phone vibrated and he snagged it from his pocket. Tori. “Hey. What’s up?”

“Nate can’t make it after all. He got called in to help transport two prisoners.”

“What about you?”

“I’m good. I already asked for the week off.”

“I owe you.”

“I’ll collect.”

Adam gave a short laugh. “I know you will.” His other line beeped in. He hung up with Tori and answered. “Buchanan here.”

“Hey, it’s David. We traced the license plate of the car carrying the shooters.”

“Great. Stolen?”

“You get the gold star.”

“I figured.”

“Let me know if you need anything else.”

“Will do.” He dialed his sister, who answered on the third ring. “How is she?”

She didn’t bother with mundane pleasantries either. “She’s in surgery. She asked about you before she went back, though.”

“I’m on the way.”

A pause. “Are you really?”

“I really am.
