Jackson leaned back in his chair, surprised. "Help with what?"

Mrs. Morrison sat in the chair beside her, her hand resting on her daughter's, her eyes fixed on the rise and fall of her chest.It had been a good day. Alicia had eaten a full meal, smiled at a joke, even laughed. Mrs. Morrison had allowed herself to hope for the first time in weeks that her daughter might actually recover.Then the monitors screamed.Alicia's body arched off the bed, her limbs thrashing, her eyes rolling back in her head.

    The rooftop was cold, the wind whipping Hailey's hair across her face. She stood at the edge, staring out at the city lights, her arms wrapped around herself.Andrew approached slowly, not wanting to startle her. He stopped a few feet away, giving her space."Hailey," he said softly.She didn't turn around. "I know what you're going to say. That I'm being reckless. That I'm not thinking clearly. That I'm letting my emotions get the better of me."Andrew shook his head. "Actually, I was going to say that I understand."Hailey turned, her eyes red. "What?""I understand why you need this.

    The penthouse at Sky Tower was filled with tension as the group gathered. Jackson stood by the fireplace, his arms crossed, his expression grim. Jacqueline sat on the couch, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. Evans and Lorraine sat together on the loveseat, their hands intertwined. They had just finished recounting their sighting of Admiral George Tony—the uniform, the voice, the way he had looked at Evans before vanishing into thin air.Hailey had been quiet throughout the meeting, her mind elsewhere.
