Chapter 13

On Monday, Brandon arrived at the office bright and early. Damn! She's not here yet. He checked in with the designers working on the Mercer project and then headed to his office. His secretary, Jeanie, had mentioned she would be late so she hadn't arrived yet. He put down his briefcase and went to the break room for coffee. Once she appeared fifteen minutes later, she gave him his messages and they went over his schedule for the day.

"Chloe called in and insisted you call her back at this number." The lanky woman with gray curls escaping her bun placed a sticky note on his desk.

"I'm running behind for my first meeting, I will call her when I finish up. Please send her number to my phone, and when Missy gets here put her through to my cell immediately."

Brandon popped his head into Missy's office one more time before leaving. Still not here. That's odd. She must be really pissed.

The morning meetings turned into afternoon meetings. By the time Brandon returned to the office, the staff was coming back from their lunch outings.

"Any messages?" Brandon asked Jeanie not stopping for her to respond.

"Yes. You have two messages from R.C. in Dallas and Chloe called again."

Shit Chloe. "What about Missy?"

"She hasn't made it in yet sir."

"Okay. Get Chloe on the phone and put her through to my office." Brandon was really concerned that Missy was MIA. It is not like her to skip out on work no matter how mad she is.

"Sir, Chloe is on line one."

Brandon sat paralyzed as Chloe filled him in on Missy's attack. He heard her speaking but it seemed distant. Missy. He had to get to Missy.

Brandon raced out the door, no briefcase, no phone.

When he arrived at the hospital, Chloe was sitting in a chair reading a book while Missy slept. "How is she doing?" He spoke softly so he didn't wake her up.

Chloe looked up with a tired grin, "Still sleeping. They are giving her meds to make her rest. They say it should help the brain swelling."

"Brain swelling?" Brandon appeared confused. He looked at Missy and inspected the repaired gash in her head.

"Yes, I don't think you let me get that far on the phone. Missy has some swelling from the hit to her head. Brandon she has amnesia." Brandon went limp. "The doctor indicated it was probably a temporary effect of the attack, but she hasn't remembered anything yet."

Because he felt like his legs weren't going to hold him up much longer, Brandon slumped into the nearest chair and pulled it close to Missy's bed. He kissed the palm of her hand and retuned his gaze back to Chloe. Her eyes were dark and swollen. She had obviously been up a while.

"Why don't you go home and get some rest. I've got it from here." Brandon gave her a reassuring smile.

"Thank you; that would be great. Oh, and Brandon I would have called. I didn't know your cell number, but I would have called.
