Her friend was out there, possibly getting hurt because of Hot Flash and it was all her fault. The pain was too much for her as huge tears rolled down her cheeks. It was all her fault and she knew it! She took gasping breaths between sobs and not even Stella whining near her, having heard her mistress, was enough comfort for her.
“S-S-Six!” she gasped out, one hand clenched at her brow, willing the pain to end and go away.
Jack had to step out momentarily before, needing to buy a few more bits from the hardware store for Puzzler’s gun. When he arrived home, he heard sobbing from the bedroom. A small part of him groaned but it was overshadowed by the rest, who carried him through the door hurriedly.
“Katelynn? Katelynn, what is it?” he asked shakily as he approached her quickly, reaching out to her. “Are you hurt? Are you in pain?”
