Not with a Fizzle, But with a Bang (The Bang Series #1)

Chapter 16

Friday had gone smoothly after Christian had left. My weekend was uneventful, except for getting hit on the IT guy. But Monday morning brought on a new round of hell.

Grace had decided to take the week off. I end up having to split her appointments with Jessica. It wasn't all so bad, a few old men hitting on me, a few young men hitting on me, and then a few married me hitting on me, all walking out with sealed deals.

I was sitting in Christians office with his mother going over plans for the company ball when my phone rang. I excused myself and picked it up, "Harvey Pusblishing."

Emerson Sinclair?

"Yes?"

My name is Ava, I'm calling from Saint Francis Memorial Hospital in San Francisco, California to let you know Christian Clark has been emitted.

I gulp, "Um can you tell me what for?"

No ma'm, I can't disclose that information on the phone.

"Have you called anyone else?" I ask.

No ma'm, there's only three on the list. The first man is here with him and the other woman has been called already.

I bite my lip, "Is her name Beth?"

Yes ma'm.

I grab a notepad and pen and say, "What room is he in?"

303.

"Okay thank you."

I stand there for twenty seconds after hanging up before realizing I couldn't tell Christians mother. If she wasn't on his list that was a big no no.

I pick up the phone and dial Davis' phone, it goes straight to voicemail. Next I try Christians, it does the same. Next I try Will's but someone else, I'm guessing his assisstant picks up.

Hello?

"Um this is Emerson Sinclair, I was just wondering if you know anything about Mr. Clark?"

Oh he's in the hospital. We don't know how bad it is yet, Davis gave the okay to call you. Should I tell them you're coming?

"Uh no," I say quickly, "I'll let Davis know myself."

I hang up and bite my lip before walking in on Mrs. Clark, "I have a family emergency. Can we finish this up later?"

She nods, "Of course dear."

When I'm in the cab on the way home it occurst to me to call Wes, "Wes, it's Emerson, are you following me?"

Uh yes, sorry. It's my job.

"I know, can you come into my apartment when you get there?"

Sure.

When I land, with Wes, because he couldn't get a hold of Davis either we take a cab straight to the hospital. When I walk in I find Brady and Will sitting in the waiting room, Brady's face lights up.

"Someone called you?"

I glare at him, "I tried calling all of you. Does anyone know how to answer a fucking phone?"

He shrugs, "It god damaged. They all did."

I close my eyes and shake my head, "What happened?"

He presses his lips together, "We were sailing in the bay and Christian got hurt, along with Davis."

The elevator opens again and Beth emerges, "Where's Davis?"

"Three-o-five," Will says quietly.

I follow Beth down the hall and go into Christians room. He's laying in bed, asleep. I sigh at the sight, he had a bruise on his arm, a cut on his forehead, and his ankle was wrapped up.
