Reese’s face pales as the news hits his ears. He stands at his desk and blinks, not wanting to believe what he heard was true, but the tears in Jamie’s eyes proved the horrible truth.
He numbly receives Jamie into his arms, offering fatherly protection, while desperately trying to hold in his own emotions. “Oh, Misty,” he whispers. “No…”
Wyatt’s mouth drops open and he just stares at his father and Jamie until the scene becomes blurry and he realizes that tears are about to spill over. Turning his back, he takes a deep breath, his mind reeling. How could this be happening? Misty…his cousin…he’d just seen her…talked with her… She had so much going for her…so much life… this just couldn’t be true…
Turning back around, he looks to Nate, not knowing what will happen next. If this was the Agency, surely they had to do something…but what? Then a thought hits him…Carson.
As if on cue, Nate’s cell phone suddenly rings.
A familiar Australian voice comes through without needing to identify himself. “Please tell me that wasn’t Misty’s plane…”
