Rescued

"Uncle Zane, where's mom? Where's Mr. Ewan? Where is Uncle Aiden?" Nathaniel asked, as soon as he opened the door, after speeding past Gianna when the knock had landed at first.

He asked, because he had smoothly checked behind Zane and the male with him, Sandro, and saw no other person. Not even a security detail.

Zane exhaled gently, bent to Nathaniel's height, and tried lifting the boy into his arms. 

But the boy stepped away from his embrace.

"I asked a question, Uncle Zane. Where is my mother?" 

Zane sighed, and pushed the door wider so that he and Sandro could step into the room. 

Immediately they shut the door after them, Gianna got up on her feet. 

"Sandro, what's going on? Why are you two here alone?" 

Zane detested the fact that he was being ignored, but he said nothing because there was really nothing to say.
