VISITING EMMA III

Derek’s head felt dizzy for a second when he heard the offhanded short statement of Yodah. He staggered for a bit, before reclaiming a stable stance of his body.

"Derek, are you okay?" Clem asked him, stepping closer and holding him lightly by the arm.

But Derek shook Clem’s hand off, not interested in his beta’s sympathy. He just wanted some answers.

"What do you mean by gone?" He heard Anthony ask Yodah, breathing heavily especially as he heard the slight trembling underneath his brother’s tone.

"She is no longer at the pack. She left like an hour ago, to the airport, in the company of Freya and Aiden." Yodah replied, now feeling a bit sorry, just a tiny weeny bit, for Derek who was looking as lost as a sheep without its shepherd.

"Where is she heading to? What’s her destination?" Anthony asked frantically, almost immediately after Yodah’s answer, already feeling the not so good state of his younger brother. The situation wasn’t looking good. He thought.

"To her family in Florida."
