Chapter 218
Liam stared at him for a fraction too long before moving past him to the monitor. He picked up the headphones, spotting the radio on the desk and reaching out. He flicked it on.
“Hello? Do you copy? Elaine?” Liam practically yelled, his voice shaking with the effort to keep it controlled. He was failing at that.
Static met him. His chest tightened with worry.
Then it crackled.
“Hey you.
Liam felt tears sting his eyes. “Elly…”
“Thank goddess, Liam. It’s soo good to hear your voice,” she replied.
“You too. I thought you were…” Liam swallowed thickly. “It doens’t matter. Where are you? Are you okay?”
“Lucas and I’s plane crashed. We’re somewhere in the Atlantic. I have no idea where, the guy we’ve been talking to has been trying to get us to find out the coordinates. I don’t think this thing is going to tell us.”
Liam smiled faintly. “It’s a radio…I’m not surprised. We’ll try and locate the source of the signal. Are… are you really okay?”
A pause over the line.
“I’m okay. Mostly,” Elaine mumbled. “Lucas got stabbed, but he’s okay. And I hurt my ankle but I’m still walking.”
Liam nodded slowly.
“Are you nodding? You know I can’t see you, right?”
A surprised laugh left Liam and he wiped the back of his hand over his eyes. “Yeah, yeah. I’m nodding.”
Elaine chuckled softly. Then more seriously, she added, “We spoke with Ayla. She said she’d tell you things what was going on.“.
“She didn’t.”
“Of course not,” Elaine said.
“Liam is that Liam?”
Lian’s expression shifted as he heard Lucas‘ voice. “Hey, man, you doing okay?”
As well as I can be for having been stabbed,” Lucas muttered.
“You’ll have to tell me about that when you two get back, yeah?” Liam said.
“Focus you two,” Elaine chided gently.
