CHAPTER 63 – Mark/Katie

  Mark

  My heart races as I bolt out of my office and run through the building.

  My mind is in turmoil. Is Katie alright? Is the baby fine?

  I jump in my car and zoom through the streets, hoping I will get there as soon as possible and that nothing happens.

  My finger taps the steering wheel.

  How much longer is it before I get there?

  Ring…ring…ring…

  My breath hitches, and a wave of panic slams against me. Am I too late?

  My finger quickly taps the button in the car to answer my phone. “Hey, is she alright? Don’t tell me something else happened to her.”

  My breathing shallows out and turns into short pants. My world is falling apart. Why now? It is just starting to move in the right direction.

  “Wow. Calm down, son. Did something happen? Where are you?”

  Shit. I didn’t want them to know, and I’m the idiot for letting it slip and not looking to see who was calling first.
