"Juniper got unconscious!" The voice of Jace, the spy Gabriel had employed to keep a close watch on her, was the first thing Karmen heard over the phone in the morning.
"What? Why? Did you take her to the hospital?" Karmen demanded, his mind instantly racing to the potential implications.
"Yes, I've admitted her," Jace confirmed quickly. "I can't risk being seen by anyone here, so you should come."
"Sure. Thanks, Jace. Send me the address right now," Karmen said, lowering the glass of fresh water onto the kitchen counter with a sharp clink.
"I've already sent it," Jace replied.
"Alright. Thanks." As the call ended, Karmen immediately checked his message inbox, confirming the location. Without delaying a second, he moved swiftly, heading for the front door. However, the moment he crossed the living room, his mother's voice stopped him dead in his tracks.
"Karmen, can we talk?" Norma inquired from the center of the living room.
