The Call

(Author's POV)

Sara started taking small steps toward Alaric, who was stiffly standing near his now closed suitcase. With each step that his mother took in his direction, Alaric swallowed hard. His hands were tucked behind him, hiding Myra's blood sample. He tried to maintain a composed façade outwardly but inside he was in full on panic mode.

His mother continued, "You weren't at home so you don't know it yet. I called Myra today and had a bit of a chat with her. I explained to her the current situation regarding Brave and the test that Greg conducted earlier today. Although, I asked her to visit Kimberg and she refused but she was up for a phone call."

Alaric was still perplexed by what his mother was trying to convey to him. Half his mind was on the suitcase and the bottle he was concealing from her. He told Sara that he didn't understand and she gave him a detailed description about their conversation.
