That reception didn't improve once we got in the house. Rafe was happy to see Sam was okay. Whether you like a person or not, you don't wish them a horrible death. Sam, though…Well, I'd spent long enough with her now to realize she was lacking certain filters most of us have.
"So, I guess you'll be moving on, then?" she said. "Got things to do? Places to be?"
Daniel winced. Corey lifted his brows. Rafe only sputtered a laugh.
"Well, at least you didn't say you're sorry to see me alive," he said.
"You know what I mean," Sam said.
"Um, no," I said. "We don't. Rafe just survived a fall from a helicopter and trekked back here to meet us--"
"Meet ," Sam said. "And what I meant was that he'll be leaving to look for his sister. Right?"
"I am looking for Annie," Rafe said. "But I can do that with you guys, especially if she's been captured by the same people who have Nicole and Hayley. Maya tells me you have a cell phone. It probably wasn't a good idea to use it, but since no one swooped down while you were waiting here--"
"Which is why I insisted on waiting here." Sam lifted her chin. "If the Nasts were tracking the phone, they'd have come here and found me alone. But no one showed up. Now, Maya, if you can stop gaping at Rafe for a few minutes, we really should come up with a plan.
