The group had just finished going through the contents of the USB when Oliver began laying out their next steps. Suddenly, the door flew open without so much as a knock. His secretary's face was pale.
"Sir, I connected a call—an emergency call. It's Ella Collins," she blurted out.
Nick and Georgia's heads snapped toward each other at the mention of Ella's name, unease flashing in their eyes.
"Ella? What happened?" Oliver asked, pressing the line and putting it on speaker. "I'm with Nick and Georgia—go ahead, you're on speaker."
Ella's frantic voice filled the room. [Thank God! I've been trying to call you both, but couldn't get through, Liam said you're with Oliver. Georgia, your house is on fire! The kids are safe, Mrs. Higgins has them, but Wendy… she's been taken to the hospital. The firefighters are still trying to put it out. I'm on my way there now.]
Georgia's face drained of color. Colleen stiffened beside her.
"What?!" Georgia gasped, her voice trembling.
