Chapter 13
“What happened, Tom Alan?” Erika was at his side. She wanted to ask again, but a third time wouldn’t help.
“We got cut off.” He poked at his phone screen with urgency. “And now it goes directly to voicemail.”
“Probably just a dropped signal.” Billy joined them.
“Maybe. I hope. You heard that screech. That…crash?” Tom Alan looked right at Erika, his expression dire.
“I wouldn’t call it a crash,” she said, though actually, she might.
“He said they’d just started moving.” Tom Alan must have forgotten they were all listening. “Why won’t he pick up?”
“Tom Alan…” Erika put a hand on his elbow. “Relax. I’m sure he’s fine.”
“Erika is right, Tom Alan,” Kyoko said. “Go to the station. He will most likely be there as he promised.”
Tom Alan picked up his keys. “I love you, Kyoko.”
