“Not until you’re one hundred percent.” “Yeah, yeah.” I got out of the car. As I walked up to my porch, I noticed a black vehicle idling at the end of the street. I didn’t panic, though; I knew that it was a security detail, courtesy of Kieran. The car had followed Lucian and me…
“Okay,” he said slowly, tightly. “We’re back-where’s Mom?” I looked over my shoulder at my son’s unconscious mother. “She’s occupied right now, Danny.” “Dad?” “Yeah?” “Are you in the hospital?” I froze.
