THE PHONE’S screen lit up the dark room, casting eerie shadows on the walls. Its incessant ringing pierced the silence, causing Connie to bolt upright, wide awake.
“Hello?”
Connie turned to stare at Hudson who had his cell phone plastered to his ear, his face bathed in the blue light of the screen.
With his keen hearing, he could hear the sound of alarms and screams that nearly overrode the fear in Kage’s voice on the other end of the line as he spoke to Hudson.
“When?” Hudson demanded, his face twisted in concern as he spoke into the phone.
The moonlight from the window cast a shadow along his jawline, creating an intense silhouette. His hand gripped the phone tightly, his knuckles white with tension.
Kit slowly set up in bed, also staring at Hudson.
Connie closed his eyes, brow furrowed in concentration as he strained to listen to Kage’s frantic voice on the phone.
Box truck parked outside of the Dominion that was full of explosives. It was detonated. Essentially four or more city blocks were destroyed. There’s burning debris, rubble, metal, stone and everything in between. Embers is a mess, as is half the front of the building!
“Mother of all,” Kit whispered.
