Chapter 20: Coffee With Jocelyn
The alarm shrieked across the barn, and every head turned.
I was at Calvin's side before I knew I had moved.
"Sit," I said. "Sit down, right now. Look at me."
He folded onto the nearest hay bale, one hand flat to his chest, his face the color of ash.
"I'm okay," he gasped. "I'm okay. It's the wire."
I looked at the monitor box on his collar.
A thin lead had pulled loose from the sticker over his collarbone, and the screen read LEAD OFF.
I pressed it back down with my thumb and counted his pulse against my watch.
Fast, but even.
The alarm hushed.
"Breathe through your nose," I said. "Slow. You're fine. She yanked the wire, not your heart."
Maxwell crouched on his other side, two fingers on Calvin's wrist, nodding at me.
"Rate's coming down," he said. "Eighty-eight. Ninety. There."
Somewhere behind us a woman started to cry.
Norma stood in the middle of the floor with the broken bracelet in her fist.
