“That’s fucked up,” Lucas spat, and he winced as his bodily shift jarred his injured shoulder.

“He’s fucked up,” I agreed.

Every thing, from the second the gun first fired till now had been some unimaginable whirlwind with out a second to suppose. My coronary heart raced sooner and more durable than ever earlier than. The worry of what occurred to Scarlett, mixed with the fear that Sebastian wouldn’t make it, had settled like an acidic time bomb in my intestine. I couldn’t sit down, and couldn’t cease pondering as a result of the second I did, I might be confronted with the cavernous chance of dropping the lady I cherished.

The lady all of us cherished.

“Okay.” Toby sniffed, gathering himself. “What will we do? How will we assist?”

“Banner thinks we have to keep right here and let the police do their jobs,” Lucas grumbled, one leg bouncing backwards and forwards in a manner just like Scarlett when she was harassed. “I need to exit and search for her.”

“Do we all know something?” Toby stood and adjusted his tie then he moved to the water cooler and crammed a cup.

“We all know he lives on the town however the cops already checked,” I mentioned. “They’ve additionally been in contact with Lily and searched all recognized hangouts for Shane however there’s nothing. the cops out right here, they’re nation. Nothing like we’ve within the metropolis. Identical for the CCTV and shit.”

Nothing felt like sufficient. Nothing can be sufficient till Scarlett was again with us.

“And also you’re, okay?” Toby caught Lucas’ eye. “You’re not going to die on me?”

“Nah, I’m good.”

“We’re all okay, Seb included,” I reassured him. “We simply… we’re at a roadblock. I’ve no fucking clue the place he would go and if those that have recognized them for years don’t know, then what are we speculated to do?”

“If we had been him, what would we do?” Toby requested.

“I’d by no means be him,” Lucas spat.

“I do know, however simply suppose.”

I stretched my legs out, combating the stressed flutter that moved by means of all of my limbs. “Effectively, I assume I might need to go someplace quiet. I’m drunk however sober sufficient to take her and drive, so I’m sober sufficient to know the cops may be known as.”

“So the place will we go?” Lucas requested. “The whole city is quiet.”

“It needs to be someplace extra hidden. Like a fishing spot or an previous parking zone that’s deserted. Someplace that nobody would look?—.”

“The cabin!” Toby snapped his fingers and crumpled the drained paper cup in his different hand. “He’ll take her to the cabin.”

“What cabin?” Lucas requested.

“Scarlett, she mentioned that her dwelling included a cabin out within the woods. One thing from her mom’s household and he or she used to go there on a regular basis as a teen along with her ex. She needed that included in our settlement. For previous time’s sake I assume however there’s an opportunity, proper?”

“Have you learnt the place it’s?” Lucas sat up abruptly.

“Not precisely,” Toby replied. “However the maps and aerial surveillance had been included in her contract.”

“We want that contract,” I mentioned, however as I climbed to his toes, Detective Banner opened the door and walked again inside.

“Gentleman. Have you ever had time to catch your breath?” His eyes lingered on Toby who nodded.

“Sir,” Lucas reduce in. “We all know the place they may be. There’s a cabin that?—.”

“Maintain on.” Banner held up a hand. “I’ve just a few questions for you first Toby. It’s been dropped at my consideration that you just solely not too long ago got here into Miss Parker’s life. And that there was some battle concerning a Will?”

“What?” Toby’s pale cheeks flushed instantly. “That was all sorted.”

“Was it?” Banner flipped open his notepad and smoothed a finger over some curled paper. “You needed to chop her out of the Will, right? That’s comprehensible given the immense wealth you come from Mr. Ashbluff. Will need to have been a wrestle to have an outsider come claiming a slice?”

“What? What the hell is that speculated to imply?” Toby gasped.
