CHAPTER FOUR

The annoying chirp of my cell phone shattered the lovely dream I was enjoying. Without opening my eyes, I slapped at what should have been my bedside table. The sensation of my hand smacking warm skin shocked me right out of my slumbering state. Sucking in a sharp breath, I bolted upright.

"Easy." Hagen's now familiar voice cut through the darkness. "It's just me."

I blinked a few times before the memory of our night flashed through my mind. "Did I fall asleep after…?"

"Yes. I didn't want to wake you. I had your purse brought in from the car and let you sleep."

My phone started to ring again. My stomach knotted. It had to be very late or very early. There was only one person who could call me at this time of night and so many times in a row. Groaning, I pushed down the sheet and moved to the edge of the bed. "Where is my purse?"

"I put it on the chair in the corner." Hagen flicked on a lamp. I shielded my eyes until they grew accustomed to the brightness.

The idea of answering the phone while naked weirded me out. Obviously, Ronnie wouldn't be able to see me but it just didn't feel right. I grabbed the first piece of clothing I could find—Hagen's shirt—and slipped into it. The phone started to chirp and vibrate again. I picked up my purse and fished around inside the bag until I found my phone. I glanced at the screen and frowned. It wasn't a number I recognized.

"Hello?"

"Cassie?"

I didn't recognize the female voice either. "Yes. Who is this?"

"Um…that doesn't matter. Look, Ronnie is hurt."

"What? How?" My knees wobbled as terror struck my gut. "Is he okay? How badly?"

"He ran into some guys who owned some debt of his. It's pretty bad."

"Where is he?" My voice was barely a whisper now. My heart was racing so fast I could hardly breathe.

She rattled off the name of a hospital downtown and then hung up. I dropped the phone and rubbed my forehead. Sick with dread, I tried not to think about how badly Ronnie could be hurt. He was out there right now, suffering alone, and needed me.

The jangle of a belt buckle broke into my thoughts. I glanced over my shoulder to find Hagen getting dressed. Clearly he'd pieced together my side of the conversation. I didn't understand it but the sight of him infuriated me. The reality that someone in his line of business—hell, maybe even one of his goons—had put the hurt on my brother for owing some debt, hit me like a ton of bricks.

Hagen frowned at me. "Cassie, snap out of it and get dressed."

I stiffened at his instruction. "Don't tell me what to do."

He didn't even flinch at my snarled reply. "I know you're upset."

My jaw tightened. "You don't know anything about me."

"Are we back to this again?" He leveled a maddeningly calm stare my way. "I thought we talked about this in my office. I know more about you than you think.
