Elaine's POV
(Before the attack)
My sister had been in the hospital for days now.
She's my siste and Zane had looked me dead in the eye that morning and told me the hospital wasn't secure enough yet. That it was a risk and if anyone wanted leverage, that was where they'd look.
I understood the logic I j just didn't care because logic doesn't quiet the image of your little sister alone in a hospital bed.
I found Aaron outside near the car. He straightened when he saw me, like he already sensed trouble.
"We're going out," I said.
He frowned immediately. "We're not cleared for that yet."
"I'm going to the hospital."
His jaw tightened. "But Mr Whitmore said…."
"I know what he said Aaron."
"Then you know I can't just….."
"You can," I cut in. "You're assigned to me."
He studied my face for a long moment. I didn't even blink I just held his gaze.
"I won't be long," I added, softer. "I just need to see her please."
