Whenever Garry contacted her, it was never without a very specific agenda.

Garry heaved a theatrical sigh. "Seems like you really don't trust me at all, Ms. Kensington."

Briony's heart pounded in her chest, her grip tightening around the phone. "Is Star really with you?"

"I have no reason to lie."

Briony's eyes stung, her voice trembling. "Is she... is she alright?"

"She'll live, for now." Garry paused, then added, "But if she doesn't get brain surgery within a week, she may never wake up again."

"Brain surgery..." Briony pressed a hand to her chest, struggling to breathe. She closed her eyes, forcing herself to stay calm. "Where is she? I want to see her."

"Ms. Kensington, I didn't call to play the hero."
