“Have you tried calling her cell phone?”
“It goes straight to voicemail.”
“Maybe you should take that as a sign that she needs some space.”

“Bye, Father. I need to get back to my family.”

“What did you call me?” His tone was so on edge, it sounded like he could burst into flames.
“See you around,Pops.” She ended the call.

Grayson turned to him. “Remember how we said someone bad is trying to get to Bella?”

They ran up the stairs.
The banging continued.
Rita turned to her husband. “What should we do?”

“No! He could have a weapon.”
