“Hello? Kelsi?”
“Hey, Bree. Did I wake you? Sorry to bother you.”
“No, it’s fine. What’s up?’
“I’m just wondering… do you happen to know where Aki is? He isn’t at home yet. I’m getting a little worried.”
“Did you try calling him?”
“Yeah, but he didn’t answer. I think his phone’s dead and I’m getting kinda worried.”
“Hmm… Did you know where he went?”
“Yeah, he was out doing his underboss' things, I think.”
“Oh, he’s alright then. Don’t worry about him, Kelsi. He’ll be home soon.”
“Okay. Thanks, Bree.”
Kelsi sighed as she disconnected the call and threw her phone on the coffee table. Bree didn’t sound worried at all, and she knew Aki better than Kelsi did, so she should probably do the same.
Still...
The minutes dragged on and still nothing from Aki. Unwelcome, ugly thoughts inva
