**Northridge City.**
Alexander was in his hospital room, an IV dripping fluid into his arm, when Nash rushed in.
“Mr. Davidson,” he said, taking a deep breath. “Your father went to find Ms. Crawford.”
A cold fury flashed in Alexander’s eyes. Without a word, he ripped the IV needle from his arm and stood up. Nash knew that in his condition, this kind of stress was dangerous, but he also knew there was no stopping him. He could only follow. By the time he got outside, Alexander’s car was already pulling away. Nash swore under his breath and sprinted to another car to follow.
Behind the wheel, Alexander’s face was pale, a fresh bruise already forming on his arm where the needle had been. He ignored it. He knew his father’s obsessive nature. Jake would do anything to find Heather, and Danielle’s strong will meant a confrontation was inevitable. She would be at a disadvantage.
He ignored his doctor’s orders and his body’s protests. All he could think about was getting to Nexus Prime and making sure Danielle was safe. The air in the car felt thick, and a dull ache started in his chest. His breathing grew shallow. He fumbled for his medication, shaking a few pills into his hand and swallowing them dry with a swig of water. The world outside was a blur. He knew he was in no condition to drive, but he couldn’t stop.

After her confrontation with Jake, Danielle received a call from Nash explaining the situation. She was pacing her living room, her anxiety mounting with every unanswered call to Alexander’s phone.
