[Alice could hear the stuttering in Jack’s voice from this side of the phone, and she frowned, her brow pinching in concern. She was missing Six and he was worried sick over Katelynn… She turned the key, starting the car.]
What do you say we go visit him? [She asked Violet quietly since she was still on the phone.]
That thought hadn’t occurred to Violet. But, now that Alice had brought it up, she agreed it was a good idea. Although they’d only met once, she liked Jack a lot, and she didn’t want to leave him alone like this. Plus, he might have more answers than he realizes.
“Hey, it’s gonna be okay.” She tried to sound soothing. “Listen, Alice Heartly and I are gonna drop by your place, if that’s okay? Just to say hi, maybe hang out. We’re all in the same searching boat, after all,” she attempted to joke (badly).
Jack rubbed a hand over the back of his head, nodding, though she couldn’t see it. “O-okay… su-sure.. I, I’ll be waiting… s-see you both soon…” he answered before hanging up and tried, again, for Katelynn’s number. And, as always, it went to voice mail.
