KALE

Kale looked at the beautiful young woman sitting next to him as the limo pulled out of the airport into early evening traffic and tried to push the worry from his mind. He nodded and gave her a smile in response to something she’d said, but he hadn’t really heard. More intelligence reports had come in during their flight that told of a group of dissidents from Sumari who had tried to cross the border into Jawhara with weapons. Luckily, they had been apprehended, but their leader had promised more attempts were on their way.

He hoped Kamal could get an agreement figured out for the return of the refugees, and soon. New threats against the family had been made, and he feared that desperation would make the dissenters act irrationally. That could mean any number of things, but it could also put Shira in danger once they realized he planned to marry her. He had a bad feeling about this situation and only hoped that things would settle down before they became too volatile.

While Kale pulled up Slade’s contact information in his phone, Shira’s own device beeped and chimed with texts and calls she’d missed while overseas and in the air. She excitedly showed him a text from Erin from that same day. “Look! My stubborn cousin finally decided to go to the doctor. I can’t believe she waited so long.”

“Well, that’s good news. Do you want to go see her?” As he asked, Shira’s stomach growled loudly, and she blushed. “Or perhaps you would prefer to get settled and get something to eat first.”

He was certain that Shira would want to go see her cousin first, but then her stomach growled again, and she wrapped her arms around her middle. “Am I a horrible person for not wanting to go see her immediately?”

Shaking his head, he leaned over to kiss the top of her head. “No, you’re not. Let’s get you something to eat.”

On the way across town to their hotel, Kale’s phone rang and he answered it, speaking quickly in Arabic, which caught Shira’s attention. He could see her trying to translate as he spoke with his brother. “We just landed and are on our way to the hotel. I was about to send you a text letting you know.”

His brother was abrupt as he spoke to him. “I’m in need of the plane. I will explain later. For the moment, I ask that you not worry Shira.”

Kale shifted and did his best to hide the concern in his tone. “Is everything okay?” He could hear his brother rustling on the other end of the line. “Kam?”

When his brother answered, he was all business as he told him curtly, “Erin will be coming to Jawhara without delay. I will send the plane back for your use as soon as I can.”

“Of course, brother.” Getting off the phone, Kale was puzzled. He didn’t feel comfortable keeping this information from Shira. He hoped that whatever was going on, he’d know more by morning.
