Emergency Exit (Brock)

“What’s up, boss?” Keenan answers on the first ring.

“There’s been an emergency. I’m escorting an employee back to Seattle in the next two hours. I don’t think everyone else will be ready and packed, so I need you to find another charter flight for them.”

“Is Piper okay?” he says flatly.

Fuck.

Am I that obvious?

I glance over at her. Tears stream down her face in harsh red lines and she’s on the floor, holding her duffel bag.

“She’ll live,” I say coldly.

“I’m serious, bossman. Is she hurt?”

I go into the other room and shut the door. “Her father had a medical event. You don’t need to know more than that,” I snap off.

“Jeez, fine! I’ll find a charter.”

“Got it.” I toss the phone on the bed and peek out the narrow slit in the door.

She’s still on the floor with her luggage, looking so lost it hammers me in the chest.

“Sunshine?” She looks up at me as I step out, her green eyes glistening. “Do you want to change clothes? That robe isn’t ideal for the trip home and the dress from last night won’t be comfortable.”

“Right, yeah...” She nods. “Oh, the dress... How do I pack it to make sure it’s safe?”

“I’ll get you the garment bag.” I try to think of how to bring her back to reality without triggering a breakdown. “What hospital is your dad in?”

“Seattle Memorial.”

My next call is to Fyodor. He misses the first call, and I have to try again.

“Boss. You’re not back early, are you?” he asks over some Russian rock music blaring in the background.

“Not yet, but I will be arriving this afternoon. I’ll need a ride to the hospital immediately—”

“Hospital? Is everything all right?”

“Miss Renee’s father is at Seattle Memorial. He had a serious fall from what I can gather. I don’t know his first name, but he has two daughters. That’s where I need you. If you don’t find anyone under ’Renee,’ then call HR and find out who her emergency contacts are. Tell them I authorized it. I need to know everything about his condition and a list of the best doctors for dealing with it.”

“Just in Seattle?”

“The best, Fyo,” I clip. “I don’t give a shit if you need to call Mayo and Johns Hopkins. Make sure they know I need them soon. Spare no expense.”

“On it. This may take time.”

“Get it done ASAP. I get the sense he’s not in the best shape, and Miss Renee will be devastated if he degrades more.”

“Yes, sir.”

I cut the call.

Then I walk to the nearest closet and find an empty garment bag. When I open the door, she’s still on the floor, but her gown is strewn over her luggage and she’s wearing a yellow sundress.

“Can you stand?” I ask, offering a hand.

She takes it and scrambles to her feet. “Maisy isn’t answering.”

“Maybe she’s busy visiting your father,” I suggest. Anything to ease her nerves. “I’ll have you home soon. Let me pack the rest of my crap and we’ll leave.
