I was frantically tapping my phone, trying to initiate a video call, but the other end just wouldn't pick up.

I must've replayed the video a dozen times. Geneva was definitely alive, still wearing the outfit from our barbecue night.

He was hiding out in the same spot where we last spoke.

He nodded, "It's the safest place. I know the hospital well enough to avoid the cameras."
