The sun had dipped below the horizon and the clouds were covering up the three-quarter moon, making the evening a bit chilly. The doctor had Randy taken down the hall for some tests he wanted to run. Since Kip needed to speak with his sister and parents, he thought it best to have the conversation outside the hospital. If all of Randy’s tests came back negative, his brother would be released tomorrow. Answer, damn it. If there was ever a time he needed Teagan, it was now. Her cell went to voicemail. Stubborn woman. Missy said she told Teagan that Randy had been stabbed, and the woman he knew would have rushed to help. But she was avoiding him. Why? The beep sounded. “Teagan, it’s me. Look, I just need to talk with you. Call me, okay? By the way, Randy’s injuries should keep him cooped up for only a few days, but the bad news is that he seems to have lost his powers.” Kip wasn’t sure if Missy had spoken with her again after she’d left the hospital. He disconnected and wanted to kick something.
