scanned through the stack of messages his secretary had handed him when he arrived in the office. His gaze paused on one note in particular—a second message from the hospital. He immediately asked his secretary to hold his calls, then he walked back to his office. He had no idea how long he sat there, trying to figure out what all this could mean. Ryker was so focused on that one note that he did not notice his father’s arrival.

      “Son...”

      He looked up to find his father standing in the doorway. “Is everything okay? You look like you’ve received some troubling news.”

      “I have a message from the chief administrator at the hospital.” Ryker ripped out the words in annoyance. “They left one at the house, too.”

      “What is this about?” Jacques inquired. “Does this have anything to do with my granddaughter?”

      “I don’t know,” he responded, sounding curt. “But I assure you, Kai is my daughter. There were other girls born on that day. This has nothing to do with us.”

      Jacques nodded. “I suppose they could be contacting everyone born on that day.”

      “That’s what I figured,” he said. “I don’t like them involving my daughter in this mess-up.”

      “Go talk to them, son. This way we can get everything straight.”

      Ryker clenched his mouth tighter, his vexation evident. “I’ll give the chief hospital administrator a call. Maybe we can settle this over the phone.”

      Jacques shook his head. “I think you should meet with them face-to-face.”

      Ryker mulled it over before responding. “You might be right. I’m going to set up an appointment with the chief to find out why he’s been trying to reach me. The sooner I get this over with, the better.”
