Chapter 19

Clay

Leaving Shay within the hospital was the toughest factor I’ve ever needed to do. Even tougher than once I left her within the military with out me. I don’t assume I’ll ever be capable of settle now except I do know the place she is each second of on daily basis.

In the present day is the primary day I’ve pushed my truck shortly. I’ve taken up residence on the hospital by Shay’s aspect. I can’t think about being wherever else.

I climb out of my truck and every little thing seems to be the identical. It’s quiet, peaceable, and someplace I’ve come to name house.

“Hey, stranger,” shouts Aria as she walks towards me, pushing Sharlynn’s stroller.

“Hey, how is my favourite woman doing?” I peek inside at my niece all cozy.

“I’m good, however I’m guessing you’re not speaking about me.” She winks at me. “I didn’t count on to see you out right here.”

“I’ve been summoned house. You wouldn’t know what that’s all about, would you?”

“I haven’t heard a factor.”

“You not coming in?” I level over to the workplace constructing.

She shakes her head. “Good luck in there. It was loopy once I popped in yesterday.” She raises her eyebrow and retains strolling.

Okay then. Curiosity will get the higher of me and I stroll, or fairly jog, over to the workplace door. I pause on opening the door, however nobody is shouting, screaming, or throwing issues. I shrug and keep on in. The minute I stroll into the principle room, everybody seems to be up at me. There’s paper scattered, white boards propped up in every single place. It’s chaos.

“What’s occurring?” I ask nobody specifically.

Caleb comes out of his workplace, shaking his head. “Oh, hey. You’re again. How’s Shay?”

“Getting higher. She desires to go house. What’s occurring right here? Why the summons?”

“As a result of all of the digging we’ve finished, hacking into programs, breaking the goddamn regulation, there’s nothing from the military that ordered the transport to get Shay house. Nothing. Nada. I’ve spoken with three high guys; a sergeant main, a primary sergeant, and a command sergeant, they usually didn’t have a clue what I used to be speaking about. They solely heard about Shay’s retrieval when it went viral on social media and the press picked it up. And, earlier than you ask, I don’t know how they received wind of the information.”

“So, how did she get house? Who was along with her?” I throw down my keys and sit on the sting of a desk.

“Nobody is aware of, and I doubt Shay will be capable of inform us a lot contemplating she was out of it the evening she was taken to the hospital.”

I sigh. Simply after we assume we’re getting someplace; extra items appear lacking from this puzzle.

“I don’t assume we’ll get a lot from Shay.” I cross my arms over my chest.

“What? Why?” asks Caleb.

“She gained’t admit it, however I feel she has been threatened into silence. A few occasions we’ve received into conversations about her time over there, and each time she tells me that she will be able to’t discuss it as a result of she must maintain her family members secure.”

“That is getting an increasing number of difficult by the second. Did she provide you with something?”

“Keir any person…” A number of of my group cease what they’re doing and concentrate, as a result of digging into individuals is what they’re good at. “He’s a physician or medical individual, captured in comparable circumstances to Shay. He helped her the very best he may, however she doesn’t know the place he’s from. No army information about him both.”

“Tens of millions of persons are medically educated and referred to as Keir, however I’ll begin with military employees which have gone MIA, or like Shay, pronounced useless,” says Amber.

“What are we right here?” asks Chris as he joins us.

Caleb blows out a breath and throws down a folder. “Actually, I don’t know. Somebody or one thing is corrupt. One thing unlawful goes down someplace. We simply have to determine it out.”

“With out Shay speaking, we’ve got nothing.” I tempo forwards and backwards. “I don’t perceive it, as a result of she’s by no means been the kind to be bullied earlier than.”

“You don’t have any concept what she’s confronted, bro.” Chris shrugs and folds his body right into a chair.
