"Why...How..What are you doing here?" I asked, flabergasted. "I retired from the Navy about six months ago and started working for Bravo. I liked it, until I received a call about my cousin's life being in jeopardy..." I'm knocked backward a little. "Six months ago? Why didn't you call me?" The betrayal is clear in my tone.
I wasn't even sure if he was alive or dead. As far as I knew, he was still on some top-secret mission. He couldn't even call home when my dad died. "I wasn't sure what to say, El." He looked down at his feet. I shook my head and slammed the door in his face. "Get out. All of you. Just get out." I screamed. "We can't just leave, Ells." Lane is close to the door. "Then stand outside the doors..I want you all out of here. Leave me alone. Oh and Lane...." "yeah?" he asks.
