Alex felt the buzz of his phone, it annoyed him instantly, this really wasn't the time..the buzz pulled him from deep sleep where his dreams were a mixture of both good and bad memories
He grabbed it from the nightstand, squinting at the screen in the dim room light, his heart giving a little jump when he saw the number from the safe house. His mom's voice came through shaky but trying to sound tough, like she always did when things got rough.
"Mijo, don't freak out, but my chest feels funny, like it's fluttering. The guard's taking me to the doctor."
Alex sat up fast, the sheets sliding off, he woke Ethan up, Ethan blinked blinked and Alex reached for him right away.
