the hell is going on?”
                  He’s throwing shit in a bag.  I reach over and grab his arm.  “Gable, stop and tell
     me what is going on.  You’re scaring me.”
                  “That was Cade, Scarlet is missing.  Her car was left over night at the college. 
     They called him before they towed it because his name is still second on the car title. 
     She and Ryder had a fight, so he thought she was being stubborn and wouldn’t answer
     her phone.  Cade called him this morning, and then he found her phone on the ground.” 
     He stops and I can tell he’s getting upset. 
                  “Well, do they have anything else?  Have they called the police?”
                  He sits down, putting his elbows on his knees and his face in his hands.  “Yeah, but
     they can’t really do anything because she’s an adult and they don’t have anything
     other than a dropped phone.  I’ve gotta find a flight.”
                  I put my hand on his.  “Baby hold on, I’ll call Jana and see what we can come up with.”
                  It’s been a few hours since Cade called this morning.  Gable has been going crazy
     because we can’t get him a flight out for the fog.  He’s trying to get a car and drive
     to another airport.  I’ve got Keeg and Stoney helping me keep him under control.
                  I got a frantic call from Whisper a few minutes ago saying they found her, but they
     were on their way to the hospital.  I didn’t get much else before she said she had
     to go and she would call back as soon as she could.
                  I walk over to Gable and the guys. Looking into his eyes.  “Okay, your mom says they
     have her.  They are taking her to the hospital for something.  Whisper said she would
     call as soon as she knew more.”
                  He stands up. “The hospital, what the hell?”
                  Keeg grabs him by the shoulders.  “Sit down, man.  Your mom is going to call back
     soon.  You gotta keep your shit together.  Rex got them to reschedule the show for
     tonight.  Just fucking keep it together.  Scarlet has plenty of people there with
     her.” 
    Just then his phone rings again.  I grab it and see that it’s Cade.  “Hello.”
    “Hey, is this Gable’s phone?”
    “Yeah, this is Ivie.”
    “Did Ryder or one of them get ahold of you guys about Scarlet?”
    “Yeah, do you know anymore?”
    “Just that she’s going to make it.  I will be there in about an hour.  How is Gable
     doing?”
    “Well, he’s going nuts because he can’t get a flight out.  We are trying to keep him
     from tearing the place apart.”
    He sighs.  “Let me talk to him.”
    I step back over to Gable.  “Baby, Cade is on the phone.  He wants to talk to you.”
    He takes the phone. “Yeah.” “So when will they know more?”  “Okay I’ll try to calm
     down.  Call me the minute you get there and find out more.  I fucking mean it.” “Well,
     you weren’t the one who was all the way across the fucking country from her.”  “Okay,
     I’ll settle down, just call me.”
    He sighs, sitting down on the sofa.  “Fuck, I’m going crazy just sitting here.”
    I sit down by him and put my hand on his.  I look up to the guys.  “Hey guys, just
     give us a little bit, okay?  Go grab us some food or something.”  They nod and head
     out the door.
    I look over at him and pull him into my lap, rubbing the side of his face.  “Hey,
     she’s gonna be okay.  Scarlet is stronger than you give her credit for.  It takes
     a badass to wreck someone’s car with an ax handle.”
    He kinda chuckles.  “Yeah, I guess so.”
    I kiss his cheek.  “Hey, you’ve been a great big brother.  Plus, she’s at the hospital
     now and Cade is almost there.”
    We sit there for another hour.  Stoney and Keeg brought us back some subs and I
