I am almost always serious.

Three dots.

Callum Rizzoli:

You hung up on me.

Me:

Maeve needed me.

The typing bubble appears again.

I wait.

And wait.

Nothing.

Interesting.

I send another message.

Me:

We will be there in an hour.

This time, his response comes immediately.

Callum Rizzoli:

DO NOT JUST SHOW UP AT CORMAC O'DONNELL'S HOUSE WITH THE DAUGHTER YOU KIDNAPPED.

I frown.

Maeve leans closer. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Your face says something is wrong."

"My face doesn't say things."

"It absolutely does."

I angle the phone away before she can see the screen. "Callum is being dramatic."

Her eyes widen. "About us going to my father's house?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Apparently, there are concerns about the method of your departure."

"The method of my departure?"

"He's calling it kidnapping."
