Chapter 39

“Donnie, where’s Donnie?” Jed asks.

“He’s still in surgery. You seem more with it. How are you feeling?” Jamie asks.

“But he’s alive?” Jed isn’t a praying man, but he feels like praying now, asking that Donnie will be okay.

“Yes. They’ve said he’s not in any real danger anymore, but his knee’s badly damaged,” Jamie explains, and then she hugs him. “I was so worried when they said the car hadn’t shown up at the hotel. I was so sure you were dead. I’ve never been so scared in my life. And then your bodyguard admitted that a ‘fan’ paid him to let them drive you. The guard was from a new company—they found your bodyguard shot in the trunk,” Jamie says into Jed’s neck, and Jed thinks she might be crying. He can’t remember seeing Jamie cry, not since they were young.
