She knocked, she knew it was late, but she hopped he’d hear her. Finally the door opened. Hank’s face was one of great relief.
“NORA! God, I have been trying to call you. Bo called me, not making any sense. Saying you left him.”
Nora started to cry, Hank pulled her to him in a tight hug.

“What? Why? You two have been doing so well.” He rubbed her back and pulled her towards the couch.
“I got a call tonight.”
“From Who?”
“I don’t know. Hank you need to promise me never to tell Bo what I am about to tell you.”
“From Who?”
“I don’t know. Hank you need to promise me never to tell Bo what I am about to tell you.”

“Nora they may kill him even after all this.”
“Hank please don’t. I don’t want him involved, I want to investigate myself, please help me. When we figure out who wants to hurt him we can tell him.”

“Try to get some sleep, I am betting the little one isn’t too happy right now.”
