Chapter 260-The Shady Motel
Helanie:
In the last ten minutes of him receiving the news of the hurricane and how he had to take shelter in the pack until midnight, Emmet had shown extreme anxiety. He had his fist under his chin, and his eyes were fixed. His breathing was erratic though.
"Did you have to do something after getting home?" I asked after I couldn’t just sit and watch him get all anxious and irritated.
"No—yeah! I have to do—umm—I have to—I have to be somewhere," he was sweating and stuttering hard. I noticed how he was squeezing his fist tightly and would release his fingers before doing it again.
"Emmet—what is happening? It’s okay, you can ask your brothers to fill in for you," I suggested in a mild and comforting tone to help him feel better.
"Brothers, yes! Let me call Norman," he said, and I realized he had been so anxious that he hadn’t even called his brother.
He had been in contact with the weather informant, and it seemed like the news was solid.
"Driver! Stop the car here," Emmet requested, his voice shaky.
The driver listened to him and parked the car near the border. We hadn’t even passed the border, and Emmet had been acting so strangely all this time. Emmet dialed Norman’s number right before my eyes, and then the next thing I knew, he was giving his head little repeated nods.
