There was a loud thunk on the other side of the door A moment later, Brian yanked it open He had a sheet bunched around his naked hips His entire body was drenched in sweat and his shoulder-length black hair stuck to his damp face and neck

"This better be important"

"Is that Sed?" Myrna appeared behind Brian, cinching a bathrobe around her waist

"And Jessica," Brian grurinned "You two should consider getting your own roo every square inch of ours"

Sed didn’t kno to break the news other than just blurting it "It’s Trey He had a seizure and he’s in the ICU at the hospital He keeps asking for you, Brian, so Eric sent me to find you"

"Trey?" Brian said, durin faded "It’s his head injury, isn’t it?"

"Yeah, he has a subdur- hema…u it?"

"Yeah, I guess," Sed said "I don’t really know"

"I’ll find Brian soht out," Myrna proed Brian inside and closed the door

Sed leaned against the wall heavily "Thanks, Jessica I couldn’t have done this without you"

She smiled and nodded "I feel kind of responsible for the entire thing"

"Why? It’s my fault"

She shook her head "You should call Eric and let them knoe found Brian"

He dialed Eric, who answered on the first ring

"Did you find him?"

"Yeah, we’ll be on our way in a few minutes Which hospital?"

Eric relayed the hospital’s location The hotel suite door opened and Brian e his shirt over his head Myrna closed the door behind theainst the wall as she tried to walk and put on her shoes at the same time

"Lead the way," Myrna said

When they were all on the elevator, Myrna leaned against Brian and brushed the hair from his face "He’ll be fine, sweetheart"

"What’s a subdural whatever-you-call-it?" Sed asked Myrna, who see on

"It’s when a person bleeds under the o, so it just keeps building up and pressing on the brain That’s what causes injury, so they’ve got to drain the blood before…" She averted her gaze "His brain is probably fine"
