Page 34 of Romancing Rayne

“Bloody hell, I was afraid you were going to kill him.” Oliver looked down at the man. “You didn’t, right? A dead body will take me more than a call to fix.”

“His nose is broken, and I think I saw a tooth fly out of his mouth, but he’ll wake up.”

“I heard. Blue Bonnet and Royal Walk. Let’s go.”

Oliver didn’t wait for me to respond, just like in Afghanistan, he trusted I’d pull up his six.

Hold on, Princess, I’m coming for you.

Meghan

“Where would you like to take her, ma’am?” Tomas, my personal security officer and driver asked.

“I don’t know,” I answered before looking back at the woman lying across the back seat. “Rayne? Wake up.”

Where was Ghost? Why was she out here all alone? I looked out the tinted windows, scanning the area, expecting to see her frantic husband searching for her.

“I’m afraid I gave her a fright. Should we take her to hospital?”

Crap. She was pregnant and passed out cold. This was not good. I couldn’t think of any reason Rayne would be wandering around this part of the city.

“I have to call Harry,” I announced. Yes, he would know what to do and he could get in touch with Ghost.

“Ma’am, he’s in meetings all afternoon,” Tomas reminded me.

I was about to relent and agree to take Rayne to the hospital when I remembered the stories Harry had told me about Afghanistan and Ghost and his team saving his life. They were close, he spoke of Ghost fondly. He’d want to be interrupted.

I pulled my phone from my bag at my feet and dialed, hoping I was doing the right thing. Harry knew I’d never call when he was busy unless it was an emergency.

“Meghan? Are you all right?” he answered, just as I knew he would.

“Yes,” I reassured him. “I was coming back from lunch in White Hall and I saw Rayne walking down the street. I asked Tomas to pull over so I could say hello and I think we scared her. She took off running. Harry, she passed out. What do I do?”

“Where’s Ghost?”

“I don’t know. She doesn’t have a phone or a purse. Did you miss the part where I told you she was passed out?”

“Ghost isn’t with her?”

“No,” I huffed, getting more worried by the second.

“Bring her to the palace. I’ll try to get ahold of Ghost.” I heard him excusing himself from the meeting and felt horrible for all the trouble I’d caused.

“I’m sorry for bothering you.”

“You are never a bother, my love. You did the right thing. If she’s lost, I fear what Ghost will do to my poor city trying to find her. Bring her to the palace, hurry.”

“Harry?”

“Right here.”

“Which palace?”

He chuckled, and I rolled my eyes. I was learning, but sometimes he forgot I wasn’t fluent in royalty yet.

“Buckingham.”
