Havoc

Istare at the phone longer than I should.

Not because I don’t know what to say.

Because I do.

And that’s the problem.

“She’s fine,” Blaze says from across the room.

“I know.”

“Then call.”

I don’t move.

Because calling means hearing her voice.

Hearing what I came so close to never hearing again.

And I’m not sure I want that in my head right now.

“Havoc,” Wolf says quietly.

That tone.

The one that doesn’t leave room for argument.

I grab the phone.

Push a button.

It rings once.

Twice.

Three—

“Hello?”

It’s not her.
