“How do you know?”

The substation door opens beyond the interview room.

Footsteps cross the hallway.

Fast.

More than one person.

Arthur reaches for his weapon.

Will moves Sage and Hayley behind him.

Sheriff Cruz appears in the doorway.

Her face is hard.

“Patrick’s SUV was found abandoned five miles from the hospital.”

“Any sign of him?” I ask.

“No.”

“Then lock down the building.”

“I already did.”

A phone begins ringing on the table.

Everyone looks at it.

Sage’s phone.

The one Vega gave her before we left Nevada.

Only four people have the number.

I pick it up.

Unknown caller.

Kane signals for Taylor to trace it.

I answer.

“Campbell.”

A man breathes on the other end.

Then he speaks.

“Put Sage on the phone.”

Patrick Dalton.

“No.”

“I have Frank.”
