Chapter 2 –

Rose POV

I am still shocked at the way the bitch of a secretary spoke to Ana earlier. We spoke in more dept about the Tanya situation at the spa. Grace and I both wanted to know why Christian blew if off. Ana went on to explain that he didn't blow it off and he spoke to Tanya about what happened. The attitude and issues just started so he had reprimanded Tanya which obviously made things worse. Ana had said that she didn't want to mention it to Christian this week cause she was planning a secret and was afraid it would tip him off. She said she had already left Christian a message and included the sound Mia had texted her. I feel better now because the idea of him blowing that off was so not like him. I know it is a sticky situation since Tanya is a dear family friend's daughter. She has always had a thing for Christian that he obviously never noticed. Both Grace and I made sure to let Emmett and Garrick know when we got back. Carter had to see the doctor and then Ana would bring him back here for the night.

She had it all planned out and I just hope that witch does not do something to spoil it. Ana should be back any minute and then I will go with her to help finish setting up for their evening. The idea of dinner, massages and then wild kinky sex makes me think I might work my own little secret out on Emmett later.

Ana is like a sister I never had. She is not your typical woman and puts Christian in his place pretty quick! We spend lots of time together to the point you would think we were sisters. I get up and walk down the hall to the kitchen for a moment. I notice Emmett left his phone on the counter next to the mess he left out after making a sandwich. What a pain in the ass he can be, does he not know how to clean up after making a sandwich? How hard is it to put the mayo and ham back in the frig?

I put up his mess and see his phone buzzing. I pick up his phone and notice a missed call from Ana. The rain is pretty bad so I decide to check and make sure everything is ok. I click on the message option and am about to press play when Garrick walks in. "Let me guess, Emmett made a mess again?" He said as he walked over to get some water. "Yes, he did. He had a missed call from Ana." I said as I began to hit the play.

The message begins and her voice sounds different almost alarmed. "Hey Em, this is Ana, my breaks are not working right and I can't get Christian. I am about one mile from the… oh shit!" Suddenly I hear her scream, a thumb, and sound of glass shattering. "Oh my god… oh my god… she is in an accident!" I suddenly scream. At this point I move the phone from my ear and run out the door. Garrick is behind me yelling for Grace and Emmett. We head to the closets car as they come running. "What is wrong?" Emmett asks. "Ana has been in an accident and left Emmett a message. Grace runs back in to grab I guess her purse, I click on speaker and replay the message as Garrick is calling Mia, Grace walks back in apparently leaving a message for Christian.

"Hey Em, this is Ana, my breaks are not working right and I can't get Christian. I am about one mile from the… oh shit!" we hear her scream, a thumb, and sound of glass shattering. Carter is now screaming and you can hear the car hit something and what sounded like air bags deploying. Then we can hear a sickening crunch of metal against something. "Fuck! It sounds like she is hitting stuff and the air bags did deploy." Garrick stated. Grace has her hands covering her mouth and eyes full of tears. Suddenly we hear a splash and dread fills my soul. "Shit! Did the car just roll over? That is water, she is in the water!" Let's go…" Garrick says quickly. "It is getting dark with the rain, let's take two cars, I will take my jeep with the wench. You guys have your medical bags?" Emmett asked as they nodded and jumped in Grace's SUV. I jump Emmett's jeep and as he grabbed some blankets I had no clue were nearby.

Grace POV

I dial Christian's number once again and it rings then goes to voice mail. "Christian this is mom, there has been an accident. I didn't want to leave this message but you left me no choice. This is my fifth try at calling you. Please call me, dad, Rose or Emmett. We are on the way to help Ana and the baby." I just don't understand why he isn't answering. I tried his office line, his witch of a secretary all of which went to voice mail. I can hear Garrick on the phone with Mia asking her to go to Christian's office since she is closer.

Garrick then dials in the car phone to Rose's who picks up immediately. "Any idea where they are?" I ask. "No, we only know near water which has to mean somewhere between here and the roundabout." Emmett speaks up, "Dad, why don't we take the south route in-case she ran home first since they are only a mile south. You and mom take the north route and leave the line connected." He said with authority. You could tell Emmett was in his rescue mode. He spent much of the last 6 years working search and rescue so he was use to this type of sudden planning and action.

"We have to find them. The message…. Oh god Grace…. Caarrtterr is is crying…. (sniff) and you can hear water. The car is taking on water and Ana is frantic trying to calm him down. Garrick, she can't get free something has her trapped." Rose cries out as I feel bile rising in my throat.

As a medical doctor I know that the weather, temperature, and contact with water is not a good combination. If it is shallow water then we have to worry about hyperthermia, if the car is sinking that is a different matter. Lord please let us find them! If something happens to them I am sure we will lose Christian too.

I look up at my husband as we pull out of our drive and seen the stress and worry on his face. He is thinking the same thing and we have to get to them soon!
