Strength in your weaknesses

Rex

"Who is this?" Major bellows angrily.

"Rex. You helped me the other time. I am Blue's mate." I push for fear that he will hang up the call. I need to get him on board so I have to say the right things.

"Why are you calling me? What happened to Blue?'' he asks immediately.

I take a deep breath because I can feel Darrien's eyes on me. He is watching me and I am sure that he thinks that I will mess this up too. The same way we have messed everything up.

"I need your help."

I hear silence on the other side of the line and for a second, I think that he has hung up. I pull the phone out of my ear and see that the call is still connected.

"Are you there?''

"I already told Blue that I couldn't help him. Where is he? Why are you the one calling me with his phone?''

He sounds worried.

Why is he so worried?
