CHAPTER26: A Major Problem

  Zaiden Storm

  I felt my heart clenching as I was waiting for Aria at the restaurant.

  Something felt unusual. Everything was going smoothly, but I could still feel something bad was happening, or something bad was about to happen. The last time I felt like this was when Lance got shot in his shoulder a year ago.

  Was Lance okay?

  I took my phone and dialed his number. He picked it up on the second ring.

  "Bro, is something wrong?" came Lance's worried voice.

  "No," I responded, getting confused if he was okay, then why I was feeling this way. "I just called you to ask whether you were okay or not."

  "I am definitely okay. What's wrong with me? Did you appoint a sniper to kill me?" he joked, which made me roll my eyes.

  "Totally. I called you so that I can hear you dying," I retorted and heard a curt chuckle from him. "Remember the uneasy feeling I got when you got shot last year?"

  "Yeah. . .?" he trailed off.
