Grady felt like he had spent hours pacing. He hadn’t heard anything from Cassie or Jerry — not that he particularly wanted to hear from his former lieutenant at that point — but an update from Cassie about anything having to do with his mom or Alisha Lang would have been nice. He needed to get out of the house. The waiting was killing him. He hadn’t had a drink, and everything in him wanted one. Badly. It was like an itch inside of himself that he couldn’t reach to scratch.

Shaking his head, Grady picked up his keys, cell phone, and wallet and headed out the door. He got into his SUV and started the engine. He pulled out of the driveway, remembering what Carrie, the nurse in the ICU, had said when he’d talked to her about Ben. They were there all the time.

Grady needed somewhere to go. Mercy Hospital was it.

Parking in the visitor’s lot, Grady walked toward the entrance, feeling like there was a dark cloud following him. He blinked. It wasn’t only that he needed a drink. The dull feeling he got from drinking hid the reality he didn’t want to face — he needed a direction for his life, one that didn’t include being a detective. He couldn’t keep going the way he’d been with the endless trips back and forth to the Amber Cat and waiting for something to happen to Ben. He glanced down at his phone. The hospital had called three times since he talked to them earlier that day. He hadn’t had the strength to pick up. For all he knew, they could have packed Ben up and sent him back to the Oakview Center. Grady shrugged, hoping for good news for once. Even if Ben wasn’t at the hospital anymore, at least it got Grady out of the house.

As he walked in through the emergency room entrance and then angled to the left, going toward the hallway that led to the rest of the hospital, a shiver ran down his spine. He’d made a visit like this to the Spring Valley Medical Center when Lieutenant Williams had his hip replaced.

And then all hell broke loose.

An entire wing of the hospital had collapsed, sending Grady and Reynolds on a chase to figure out who’d blown up the building, trying to help rescue people in the process.

As he walked toward the elevator and pressed the button to go upstairs, he shoved his hands in his pockets. Before, his badge had given him everything he needed — authority, a direction for his life, nearly constant challenges, and a group of people who worked with him, even if it was sometimes grudgingly.

Now he had nothing. He was no different than any other person that showed up at the hospital, just a nameless face.

When the elevator arrived, Grady got inside, pressing the button for the seventh floor. There was one other person in the elevator, an older man pushing a cleaning cart. Grady could see the bottles of cleaner and rags, a box of gloves sticking out.
