TWENTY-SIX

Faith and Miranda arrived at the hospital a little after midnight.

Since receiving the call about her mom, Faith had barely been able to see straight. Nobody would give her a straight answer. She had no idea how badly Mom was hurt. She spotted Rage and Beast sitting in the lobby and ran that way. She grabbed hold of Beast’s arm, her hands shaking. “I came as quickly as I could,” she told them. “What happened?”

Rage stood. “Beast had an alert on his computer that said the alarm at your parents’ house had been set off. You weren’t answering your phone, so he called your mom. Since there was no answer there, either, we went to have a look around. The sliding glass door had been busted through. There was glass everywhere. Turned out there were three men inside. Beast took care of all of them, but not before they got to your mom. The police are at the house now.”

“What about Mom?”

“Your sister is with her. The doctor said she’s going to be OK.”

About to head off to find Lilly’s room, Faith stopped when Rage reached out and took hold of her arm. “You should know she’s been beat up pretty bad. Her face is swollen.”

Faith didn’t know what to think, let alone say. It made her sick to think of what Mom had gone through. She nodded at Rage and then turned and walked toward the elevators.

“Where have you been?” Jana asked as soon as Faith entered the room.

Faith went to the bed where her mom was lying. She appeared to be asleep. Bandages and gauze covered her head around her ears and under her chin. Her eyes were tiny slits, hardly visible through the purple mass of bruises and swelling. Her left arm was in a cast, and there was a brace around her neck.

Monitors beeped all around them.

“Dad,” Faith said to Jana. “Does he know what happened?”

“Steve has been trying to contact him and Colton. No luck there, but he got a hold of someone at the Mendocino County sheriff’s office. They said they haven’t been in contact with either of them since they first arrived. The sheriff checked the parking lot, though, and told Steve that their truck was still there.”

Faith sighed. “Rage told me the doctor said Mom would be OK.”

Jana frowned. “Does she look OK, Faith? So far there are no signs of internal bleeding, but they’re keeping an eye on the swelling around her brain.”

It was quiet for a moment before Jana cut through the tension with sharp words. “You should see the X-rays. She has a deep gash on the top of her head.”

Faith slipped her hand over her mom’s.

“This has to stop,” Jana went on.

Faith looked at her sister. “What do you mean?”

“It’s time to let it go, Faith.”

Wishing Jana would go away, Faith traced a finger over Mom’s fragile skin, noticing how slender and long her fingers were.

“Dad and Colton are somewhere in the mountains in freezing temperatures. Did you
