closely behind him. When I get outside I see my truck is blocked. I look at my new present. I run back inside and grab the keys. Shane is running out behind me.
“I’m going with you.” I nod at him and he gets in the car. I pull out and enjoy the speed of the car as I take off down my block. Shane is on his cell and I listen to his every word. He hangs up and I can tell he still knows nothing.
“I still have no idea whose car and what is going on. I think they all went separately, but I have no idea.”
“Who called you and told you about the accident?”
“Sam.”
“He was driving the extra car out. He was way behind them and he said he saw it and drove the shoulder till he was close enough to see it was one of our cars.”
I drive faster, not caring if I get pulled over. All the nearby cops are at the accident. Speeding into the hospital parking lot I find a spot easily in the employee parking. We start to run into the hospital when suddenly we are thrown to the ground. My ears begin to ring from the loud explosion. I can feel the heat surrounding me. Shane is the first to get up and rush over to me. We were side by side seconds before the explosion threw me ten feet in front of him. He helps me up, and we look each other over noticing only minor scratches. Uneasiness begins to take over my body as we look back.
“Was that my car?” I stare at him in horror.
“I don’t think this was an accident, Hannah.” He puts an arm around me directing us to a safer place.
“What is going on Shane?”
“I think someone is after my family,” he whispers.
“Then why my car?”
“That car has been parked in our garage for the last week. Along with all the cars that were sent out to the Hamptons.”
“Who could want to do this?”
“I don’t know, but I will sure as hell find out.”
We run through the sea of security. Sirens are blaring with all the ambulances, police cars, and fire trucks. It is chaos every way you turn. Shane tells the police it was his car. I think he does this to protect me. I shudder in shock as I listen to Shane explain it was his family’s cars that exploded on the expressway. A storm is brewing and it scares the hell out me. Who would want to hurt them?
Shane is too impatient to stand there any longer than he has to. I watch as he tells the police he will be inside looking for his family and if they need him to come and find him. We run up to my office first so I can get my jacket and ID badge.
“You can stay in my office and wait if you want. They aren’t going to let you into the ER to look around.”
“I’ll wait in the waiting room then. I want to be close.”
“I think Annie should stay at my house tonight.”
“I called our security team to do a sweep of our car and to get rid of it. I think I might take you up on the offer. I’ll have security all around your neighborhood.” I nod my head at him, but my heart drops as we get into the elevator. I hope he is OK. I wonder which one of them I’m wishing for, but I don’t know. I start to feel the sadness creep over me and I try to stop it. Walking into the overcrowded emergency room, I weave through the throng of staff members. People are screaming, crying, and some are silent from being traumatized. I spot Richard and he waves me over.
“I have all the Graces being directed up,” he tells me.
“Who has come in?”
“No one yet. I haven’t heard if anyone survived the blast.” Fear takes over me and I feel bile rising in my throat. It can’t be. They can’t be gone.
“Hannah, you check every person who is brought in.” Taking my orders, I snap out of it and walk directly to the ambulance entrance. I run to the first.
“Who do you have?”
I look over the person and see it’s not one of them, it’s not him.
I walk over to the next and inspect the person. Fuck. It’s Autumn.
“She has no ID. She is burned pretty badly,” I hear a paramedic say and jump into action.
“Her name is Autumn
