“Wolfe. Where have you been? I’ve been trying to get a hold of you. You’re never at home, and your mom keeps asking me where you are. I found someone who can help you learn the Fiie.”

Lincoln’s face flushed. He forgot he had told Logan about his problem. He had been so focused on the training. Tsamiit did not even allow him to rest on the weekend. Today was the first day he’d had a break since the training started, and it was only because he had requested the afternoon off. He needed to go and see Penny in the hospital.

“Actually . . . no,” he said guiltily. “I’ve already figured something out.”

“Really?” Logan asked. “Well, that’s great. What did you do?”

Lincoln smiled hesitantly, “It was just like you said Logan, something came up. I was able to convince the general. I’ve been training for the last few weeks.”

“That’s a relief,” Logan said. His eyes were genuine. “But there’s something else I need to tell you.”

“What is it?”

“It’s Penny . . . She’s missing. There’s a possibility she’s been hurt. Someone kicked in her front door and she’s gone. I know you have a lot to deal with right now, I just wanted to let you know. The council is organizing a search party. We don’t even know how long she’s been missing, and her boyfriend said she might be pregnant. I know you two haven’t been on the best terms lately, but you were close in the past. Do you have any idea where she may have gone? Any information you can give us will help.”

Lincoln quickly shook his head but didn’t speak. Logan placed a hand on his shoulder and looked him in the eyes and said sincerely, “Don’t worry about Penny. Worry about your mission. The council will find Penny and get her back safe. I promise.”

All Lincoln could do was nod.

“Well I’ll catch up with you later,” Logan said. “And try to spend a little time with your mom. She keeps calling me, because she’s worried about you.”

Lincoln nodded and watched Logan walk away. He was in full-scale panic. What had he done? Penny’s boyfriend knew about the baby? And to make matters worse, the council was searching for Penny. He had to cover his tracks fast or everything he had worked for would come undone.

He went to the hospital and sat by Penny’s bed. She looked so peaceful as she slept in her comatose state. Lincoln touched her shiny light-brown hair and whispered, “I know we’ve had our problems. I didn’t think I could forgive you. But if you could just do this one thing for me, I could forget about everything that happened between us.”

As he was speaking the nurse walked into the room. “Good afternoon,” she said cheerfully. “I’m glad to see you again. Even though Penny can’t hear you I think it’s good for the baby to hear her father’s voice.”

Lincoln nodded. “Nurse,” he said softly, “Can you tell me who else would be authorized to visit Penny?”

The nurse was thoughtful.
