Page 371 of Chaos has a Name
His son passed coffee off to his mother, and then gave his father his cup as he hugged him.
“Is Wyler upstairs?” Caryn asked, curiously.
She’d stayed away all night so that Elizabeth could handle the situation. That morning, she’d awoken to a text from Elizabeth saying that Wyler was getting chemo.
She had to get there to see him.
Gene pointed up.
“I’d assume. Unless he snuck away, in which case, he’s not going to need chemo. Ivan will hunt him down and kill him for Elizabeth.”
She laughed.
He wasn’t wrong.
“Thank you guys for talking some sense into him. Men are so stubborn and exhausting.”
Elizabeth clinked her cup off of Caryn’s.
“Mom, tell me about it,” she said.
As Caryn headed off, the front door opened again, and inside came Ivan, carrying a tablet.
“Morning,” he said. “I see that none of you got your asses abducted, or shot last night. I thank you for that, and so does my wife. Now, we can update before work, and get this shitshow on the road?”
She lifted a brow.
“My dude, let me have some coffee. I was up until four. I slept two hours. I won’t be shiny and pleasant until I have caffeine.”
When Ivan opened his mouth, Takoda shook his head.
“Don’t do it, Uncle Ivan. She’s next to you and will knock your ass over the back of that couch. Sometimes, your survival skills are questionable.”
He laughed.
Oh, well, this boy was about to be in the same boat as him, and he knew it.
They were both about to be boned by the Lyza-cranka-saurus.
“Thanks, Koda.”
Elizabeth stretched, and then sipped her coffee. That’s when she remembered one thing.
Her husband might want his phone back.
“I stole your phone,” she said to Ethan. “Mine’s in DNA lockdown. I hope that’s okay.”
Honestly, he didn’t mind.
Ethan was grateful that he’s slept over five hours. After yesterday being one hell of a day, and the last week just as horrific, she could have his phone.
“No worries, Baby. I slept on the bear rug.”
Gene snorted.
“I mean, I’ve been called worse,” he joked, slapping Ethan on the ass because he was spicy this morning.
That’s how he liked him too.
