I'm okay. I miss you, but I hope you're moving on. I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to you.
Pressing send, I hold my breath and listen in.
"It's her," he gasps.
He pauses briefly, and then Deke impatiently prompts him to share.
"What? What is it?"
"She said she's okay. See if you can ping where that just came from."
Shit.
I didn't think about him being able to trace me from a damn text.
Now I'll have to listen until I know if he can track me down. He can't come to this place, not with so many of them now here… helping. Not now that I know they can't all be trusted.
My encounter with Rain shook me up, and now more than ever, I realize how dangerous my life can be to someone as human as Kane.
"Frankie, I messed up," I mumble, and he materializes in the room, proving I was right to believe he was listening in on me.
"What?"
"I sent Kane a text to tell him I'm okay because he was worried about me. Now he's trying to trace me from it."
He sighs, and then he takes my phone from my hand.
"I'll make him think you're at home," he says, waving his hand over the phone. "Better yet, I'll send him back to his house."
I smile, though it's forced. Part of me wants Kane here so badly it hurts, but the realistic side of me knows he'll be killed in my world.
I listen in, waiting for Deke's response.
"Got her. She's in… what the hell?"
"What?" Kane prompts, and Frankie smiles before giving me a wink and vanishing from the room.
"She's at our place," Deke gushes in bemusement.
"Call Sierra. Find her."
It doesn't take long for Deke to fill that request.
"Hey, it's Deke. Alyssa's phone is saying she's at our house… I swear that's what it says. Go check."
I wish I could hear her side of the damn conversation. I'll have to wait on immortality for that luxury though. I can only hear when they're closer, and for some reason, Kane and his friends keep their phones really low.
"This doesn't make any sense," Deke says, apparently still talking to the girl looking for me.
"Fuck. I'll just go home and see if I can track her down. If she's in the area, I'll find her," Kane huffs. "Let's go."
The conversation cuts out when he dials someone else, and I drop my phone while sighing in relief.
At least he's still safe.
"Just to be clear, this tastes like bark," Frankie grumbles, tossing his toast down to his plate.
I laugh lightly as Thad glares at him.
