(Casey's POV)
______________
I stopped in the middle of the lobby, holding the phone to my ear as I listened intently, "what did you just say?"
"I think I messed up, Casey," Kira repeated.
"Okay, I want you to take a deep breath and talk to me," I said. "What happened? Did Maven contact you again?"
There was a pause as if she was thinking about what to say, then she replied, "No. Not yet."
I sucked in a deep breath, "Maven hasn't reached out since yesterday?"
"I just said no, didn't you hear me?"
"Okay, just calm down. You have to tell me what the problem is. What is going on, Kira?"
"It's Jace…"
I switched the phone to my other hand, trying to get more comfortable, "Jace? What is it this time around?"
"Well… you know that he…"
Just then, I heard a loud commotion behind me. I turned just in time to see some nurses wheeling an injured patient into the hospital. I limped out of the way just in time as the nurses rattled off medical terms and called for a medical doctor.
