it was all chaos.

"Get the guards!"

"Check the cameras!"

"More security!"

"Call the police!"

Silas was part of the madness, of course, his heart pounded as he moved around the room, confusion swirling inside him.

He held Ivy, watching the fear widen her eyes. Theresa and her boyfriend stayed close too.

"What do we do?" Theresa asked calmly, though he could tell she was freaking out on the inside.

Wade walked over, his eyes sharp with concentration. "Let's all stay in the room. If Rosie is around, we'll know from here."

The doctors left the room, the officers followed, and Wade too. Silas's grip on Ivy's hand tightened as he faced Theresa.

"Let's just take it easy," he said, though he was mostly talking to himself.

"Do you really think she'll come here?" Ivy asked, her voice trembling. "With all the reporters outside?"

"She seems crazy now," Theresa said, biting her fingernail.

"She's bold now," he agreed, his heart pounding.

Seeing Rosie wasn't even the problem at this point, it was not seeing her. Not knowing where she was or what she was planning. That was the real problem.

"Oh my goodness!" Ivy suddenly exclaimed.

"What?"

"Aria and Thomas. We have to know they are safe," she said, alarmed.

"I'll call Aria," Theresa said, already reaching for her phone.

"I'll call Thomas," Silas said, pulling out his own. His heart thumped as he dialed

his brother's number. He still hadn't gotten over the fact that Thomas had hung up on him.

The phone rang twice before Thomas answered.

"Yes?" His voice was harsh.

"Hey bro," Silas said softly. "How are you? Where are you?"

"I told you I'm busy, Si," Thomas replied, unusually cold. "I will call you

"It's about Ro-" The call ended.

later."

Pain coursed through Silas's chest, but he held the dead phone to his ear, unwilling to let the others know Thomas had hung up on him. Again.

He turned away from Ivy's piercing eyes and spoke into the phone. "Yes. She ruined Theresa's car." He paused, trying to make it believable. He mumbled a few words before he said loudly. "Alright, just call me back."
