JIMIN POV

"Mr. Kim, what's happened?"

My voice is hoarse and thick
with unshed tears.

Ray. Sweet Ray. My dad.

"He's been in a car accident."

"Okay, I'll come now."

Adrenaline has flooded my bloodstream, leaving panic in
its wake.

I'm finding it difficult
to breathe.

"They've transferred him to Portland."

Portland?

What the hell is he doing
in Portland?

"They airlifted him."

"I'm heading there now."

"OHSU."

"Oh, I didn't see the car."

"I just didn't see it . . ." His
voice cracks.

Mr. Kim—no!

"I'll see you there." Mr. Kim chokes and the line goes dead.

A dark dread seizes me by the throat, overwhelming me. Ray.

No. No.

I take a deep steadying breath, pick up the phone and call Roach.

He answers on the second ring.

"Jimin?"

"Jerry, It's my father."

"Jimin, what happened?"

I explain, barely pausing to breathe.

"Go, Of course, you must go."

"I hope your father's okay."

"Thank you."

"I'll keep you informed."

Inadvertently I slam the
phone down but right now couldn't care less.

"Hannah!" I call, aware of the anxiety in my voice.

Moments later she pokes her head around the door to find me packing my purse and grabbing papers to stuff into my briefcase.

"Yes, Jimin?" She frowns.

"My father has been in an accident, I have to go."

"Oh dear—"

"Cancel all my appointments today and Monday."

"You'll have to finish prepping
the e-book presentation
notes are in the shared file."

"Get Courtney to help if you
have to."

"Yes." Hannah whispers.

"I hope he's okay, Don't worry about anything here."

"We'll muddle through."

"I have my BlackBerry."

The concern etched on her pinched, pale face is almost
my undoing.

Daddy.

I grab my jacket, purse
and briefcase.

"I'll call you if I need anything."

"Do please, Good luck."

"Hope he's okay."

I give her a small tight smile, fighting to maintain my composure, and exit my office.

I try hard not to run all the way to reception, Sawyer leaps to
his feet when I arrive.

"Mr Jeon?" he asks, confused by my sudden appearance.
