Chapter 14

The ward was finally cleared for visitors twenty minutes after Abby and Scott arrived back at the hospital. Abby breathed a sigh of relief when Scott didn't need to be convinced to let her see Rachel on her own. After a quick hello with Rachel, he left for the police station to get an update.

“Oh my God, darling, get over here and let me squeeze you.” Rachel held her arms out and Abby tried not to notice how thin they looked sticking out either side of the hospital gown.

For a moment, Abby let go of her anger and her questions, and just let her mother hold her. They had the room to themselves as Rachel’s roommate had been discharged, so there was no awkward set of eyes watching as Abby climbed onto the bed and let herself be enveloped.

“I can’t believe this person knew your name.” Rachel stroked Abby’s hair. “And how did he even know you’d be at my place?”

“The police think he must have been following me.”

“Oh god, that scares the life out of me. Are you sure you’re not hurt?” She leaned back and Abby felt her mother’s eyes assessing her.

“I’m fine,” she assured her. “It just… freaked me out.”

“To say the least.” Rachel gave her another squeeze.

Abby pushed herself up, and gave Rachel a peck on the cheek. “No news on the test results?”

Rachel took a deep breath, then exhaled. “Dr. Charchedi said sometime this afternoon or tomorrow.”

“And then you can go home?”

“I can’t see any reason to stay.” Rachel threw her hands out. “I feel much better.”

Abby pressed her lips together and studied her mother. “We still need to find out what’s going on with you and fix it!”

Rachel smiled. “I’m in good hands with Dr. Carchedi.”

Abby settled herself a bit further down the bed, so she could look her mother in the eye. She needed to see her reaction as well as hear what she had to say.

“Mum, what do you know about The Devils MC gang?”

“Only what Scott said, and they were on the news a few months ago when their clubhouse burned down.” Rachel’s features remained neutral, although Abby was sure she detected colour rising on her cheeks and neck.

“Uh huh, and what about the president? I believe he goes by the name Zep.”

The colour on Rachel’s cheeks intensified as she shook her head unconvincingly. “I don’t know anything about him. Why are you asking?”

Outrage burned inside Abby. Her mother was lying to her. Rachel had never lied to her.

“So why do you have a portfolio full of sketches of him?”

Her mother’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Granted, it’s a much younger version of him. But it is him–Zep–yeah?” Abby’s whole body tensed as Rachel stared at her, mouth open.

“I don’t…” Rachel’s voice faded into nothing.

Abby leaned in. “You don’t what? Know what to say?” She stood and paced to the wall, arms folded tightly against her body, then back again. “Okay, let’s try this, shall we. Why was Zep, the president of
