Keela (Slater Brothers 2.5)

“He's goin' to be okay, isn't he?” I asked the lads as Ryder flew down the bypass with Nico following close behind before he turned down the road to go get his girl.

I felt a hand grip onto my shoulder. “He is going to be okay.”

I hadn't talked to God in a long time, not since my mother died when I was little, but on the drive to the hospital I prayed to find out what was wrong with Kane and if he was okay. I prayed harder than I ever had before, and I begged Him to let Kane be okay.

I jumped when my phone went off.

I quickly answered it, “Hello?”

“Where are you all?” Keela cried.

She was sobbing, I could hear it in her voice.

I broke down with worry. “We're nearly there… is he okay?”

The brothers held their breath when I asked the question we were all thinking.

Keela bawled, “I’m tryin' to find that out, but I'm not related to him so the brothers need to be here.”

“Why?” I asked, terrified to hear her reply.

“Because they won't tell me if he is dead or alive.”
