Chapter 20

Cole listened to Felicity’s voicemail for the tenth time. Her sobs tore at his heart. He had left her alone to deal with Lauren. He had tried reaching her before the flight took off, but her phone went straight to voicemail. He left a message telling her he was on his way, but he’d be in the air for a few hours. Then he called Ethan.

“Where are you?”

“Catching a flight. I just found out forty-five minutes ago.”

“Good. I’m glad Dodger was able to get word to you.”

“I tried calling Felicity, but she didn’t answer.”

“She’s at home. We had Doc give her a sedative.”

“She’s alone?”

“No, Gennifer is there with her. She probably didn’t hear the phone. I’ll call her and make sure the phone is charged.”

“Do you have any leads?”

“We know approximately when Lauren left, but the car’s been found at the airport. We haven’t found any flights she might have taken. Turbo’s been digging through Lauren’s finances and contacts. She’s financially able to leave the country without needing to access most of her accounts.”

“She’s loaded?”

“Apparently so. It shocked Felicity as well. Turbo has discovered numerous accounts with tens of thousands of dollars, and an offshore account with half a million. She’s still combing through Lauren’s associates, but as of right now, we’re drawing up blanks. The SAPD and the Rangers are on the case. They’re allowing us access to their findings, and we’re sharing ours with them. We have a little more latitude than they do, so sharing intel is beneficial to us all.”

“Have Felicity’s parents been notified?”

“Yes, they arrived this morning. I told them to focus on Felicity. We’ll hunt for Tabitha.”

“Good. Thanks, Ethan. Man, this isn’t…” but Cole couldn’t finish the statement. It wasn’t what? Fair? Right? What he ever expected? All of those were true.

“Just get here. Remember what I told you our directive for the Bravo team is?”

“Manhunts.”

“Well, you’ve just been assigned your first one, and this will be the most important one you’ll ever be involved in. I’ll pick you up at the airport and debrief you, then drop you off at Felicity’s before we return to the office. The police have already gathered everything they need from Lauren’s car and its back at Felicity’s. I’ll see you in a few hours.”

Like any commander, Ethan hung up without saying goodbye.

Just as the cabin door closed, Cole sent a quick text to Felicity, letting her know he was on his way. He sent a second one to Samuel. “I’m in the air. Ethan will bring me to the house. I promise you… I will find Tabbie. If it’s the last thing I do on this Earth, I will hunt down Lauren and find my daughter. Keep Felicity safe.”

He was surprised by Samuel’s quick reply. “I’ve got my girl. You just go get yours. Felicity is sedated and Jackie’s watching her. You don’t have to worry about us. Just bring our granddaughter home.”

“I will.” Cole threw his head back against the headrest. He’d been exhausted when he returned from Syria.
