Chapter 34

Caleb

I’ve paced my workplace, snapped at everybody, and misplaced my head with the police. My mother and pa have been referred to as in to calm me down, and Clay has actually thrown me in my workplace to let off some steam earlier than I’m thrown right into a cell.

How the fuck can I relax? I might prefer to see any one in every of them coping with this if the tables have been turned. Aria means the world to me, and regardless that the child is not mine by blood, it’s mine in each different method. I really like him already and I am unable to describe this ache in my chest. It’s like somebody has caught a blade via my coronary heart and so they’re twisting it for further impact.

I’ve referred to as Tracey, who’s now again in New York, as a result of little question Aria’s abduction received’t be large enough to get her again on the case. I’m hoping listening to a voicemail from me will get her ass again over right here. Let’s face it, CPD are gradual as fucking snails. Aria and the child must be useless earlier than they get a transfer on. Then I will likely be thrown in a cell, as a result of I’ll homicide each fucker that sat again and did nothing.

“Caleb, sweetheart,”

My mother walks straight into my workplace and takes me into her arms. Everybody else has been terrified to be in the identical room as me, however not my mother. She’s made from robust stuff.

“I am unable to reside with out her, Mother. I am unable to.” I sob into her shoulder and I do not care who sees me. I’m drowning farther into the deep with each second.

“You will not must reside with out her, as a result of we’ll get her again. Her and the child. “

“He isn’t going to offer them up once more, Mother.”

I’ve labored with sufficient psycho fuckers to understand how they work. He’s had months to plan this assault. He’ll have every part labored out exactly.

“The place is your struggle, son?”

My dad walks in and squeezes my shoulder roughly. He is not going to mollycoddle me and possibly that is for the very best. He was all the time the straight talker once we have been rising up. I assume you possibly can name him the dangerous cop, however he all the time had our greatest pursuits at coronary heart.

“Your girl is on the market someplace, and do you assume she’s giving up proper now? No. She’ll be pondering you are doing every part in your energy to seek out her, to carry her dwelling to us all.”

I draw back from my mother and father and stroll over to the window. There’re police vehicles in all places, and my office would not even really feel like my very own, however my dad’s proper. I must snap out of this. I would like to stay on my detective’s head and discover my girl.

“Caleb, we have got one thing,” Amber shouts via my door, and I take off after her.

“I do not know if he needs to be discovered, or if he isn’t pondering straight, however we have managed to trace down the van from the alleyway at Pop’s. He is stopped on the hospital, and as quickly as he strikes, if there are cameras round, we will hack into the system and comply with him,” says Clay.

“I did not simply hear you say you have been hacking into issues,” snaps Al from the doorway.

I glare at my ex-partner. “Fuck you, Al. We’re doing all your job for you. I recommend you both are available right here and assist or get the fuck out. Both method, shut up and fucking hear, as a result of I don’t see you discovering any leads.”

Chris palms me a bulletproof vest, as a result of my group is aware of as quickly as I get a location, I am out of right here.

“Okay, he is on the transfer. He wasn’t on the hospital lengthy, so both he is aware of somebody there, or he is aware of his method round,” says Clay. “Liam, get all the way down to that entrance of the hospital and discover out something you possibly can. Knock fucking enamel out if you need to.”

Clay is in full on tech mode. He is not our foremost tech man, however for no matter cause, a few of them aren’t round at the moment, so thank fuck Clay is aware of what he is doing.

I look over Clay’s shoulder and comply with his cursor on the map.

“Fuck! He is down on the docks, however the cameras cease right here. We’ll have to look the world…”

I run out of the workplace like a mad man.

“Clay, both cease him or go after him,” I hear Chris shouting within the background, however I do not cease. I can’t. I must get to these docks.

I make it to my truck simply as Clay is operating in the direction of me, buckling up his vest. He nods in my route and we get within the truck on the similar time. I am glad it’s Clay that got here after me, as a result of he’ll do every part in his energy to get Aria again with out consulting the rule ebook.

We simply must hope that we’re in time.
