“Where are my boys?” I heard a woman’s voice ask loudly. She sounded angry and I turned to see what the commotion was.

A nurse was standing in the middle of the hallway, blocking the woman from coming into the waiting area where John had left me a few minutes ago when he went to get us a snack and some drinks.

The nurse said something so quietly that I couldn’t hear, and I watched the other woman’s face turn stormy and then saw her lean in and whisper to the nurse.

Whatever she said worked, because the nurse got pale and then moved aside so the woman could pass. My eyes got wide at the look on the lady’s face when she stormed into the waiting room and her gaze pinned me to my chair.

“Maria, right?”

“Yes,” I squeaked.

“I’m Martha.” She turned and scanned the room again as if I should automatically know who she was. “Where are my boys?”

“Mattie? He’s in surgery.”

“Bear?”

“Bear is in a room. My friend Autumn is in there with him. They had to sedate him so he would be still after surgery.”

“Is John hunting?”

“Um, no.” I gulped. Hunting what? “He went to get us food while we wait on Mattie to get out of surgery.”

Martha dropped her purse down in the chair beside me and it made a loud thud.

A man who looked just about the same age as Martha stomped into the room and scowled at her.

“Woman! I told you it wasn’t safe to leave the fucking house and here you are. Alone! What in the holy fuck are you thinking? Goddammit!” the man roared at her.

“You will not raise your voice to me, Smokey Forrester,” Martha growled as she narrowed her eyes. “I told you I wanted to see the boys and you blew me off. I’m tired of sitting in that house. God knows I love my grandbabies and all the other little ones, but if I don’t get some fucking peace, I’m going to commit a crime so they’ll take me to jail and lock me alone in a room where it’s quiet.”

“Martha! I told you… ”

“And I told you I wanted to come and see the boys. You didn’t listen so why in the fuck should I?”

I slowly, inch by inch, moved away from the couple who was now almost nose to nose screaming at each other.

“Woman!”

“Man!”

With a roar, the man turned around and stomped off, running his hands through his overlong silver hair. He paced back and forth a few times before he blew out a breath and turned to Martha.

“Baby,” Martha took a running leap and jumped into his arms. He wrapped them around her and held her to him as she cried into his shirt. I couldn’t understand her words, but I got the gist of her upset.

She was terrified that someone was going to succeed in killing one of ‘her boys’ or one of ‘her girls’ and she didn’t know how she would live if that happened.
