No Return (The Internal Defense Series) - Plot & Excerpts
By the time Vivian arrived at her door, she was sure. “Have you called your mom?” Vivian demanded as soon as she stepped inside. “Three times.” First in front of Micah and Kara’s apartment. A second time as Micah drove her home. The third after she had sent him back to his apartment to wait for Kara. Each time had been the same. Dialing the phone with shaking fingers, almost letting it slip from her grasp as she held it to her ear, reminding herself to breathe as she listened to the endless ringing. As she repeated her silent refrain. Please answer. Talk to me. Tell me this didn’t happen. Just like that night five years ago, when Becca had tried to reach her mom after Heather’s call from 117. But just like five years ago, her mom hadn’t answered. And Heather— She fought to keep her head above the tide of emotion that threatened to suck her under. You can think about it when you’re sure she’s gone.
