Chapter 15

Emerson stared at her cell phone. She’d already called Harrison, Grant, Porter, and Lizzy. No one was answering their phone. The only reason she could remotely think of for none of them answering was that there had been an emergency on another job. Still…one of them should be available. The only other reason she could think of was that Belle had gone into labor and things weren’t going well. That thought made her pause.

She had no reason to call the police simply because Isa hadn’t showed up to the Red Stone office like she said she would thirty minutes ago. Now Emerson had no way to get in contact with her. Every time she tried to call Raptor’s main building, it went to a recorded voicemail. So her options were limited. But she couldn’t let this go. It wasn’t like Isa to flake on her. And even though she had been pretty vague when they’d talked last, something about her tone had been off. No, something had to be wrong.

Feeling only a little foolish, she decided to call Carlito. He was the first person she thought of and she knew he wouldn’t make her feel stupid for being worried about her friend. The job she was working on with Isa and Graysen—whose phone was also still in the lobby of the Raptor Aeronautical building—was classified. While she couldn’t tell Carlito specifics about the job, she could still ask him for an unofficial police escort. She’d feel better having someone go with her anyway and she trusted him.

Emerson tried to convince herself that once she got to Raptor she’d discover that Isa and Graysen had gotten tied up with work.

She couldn’t even make herself believe the lie.

No matter what, she needed to see for herself that her friend was okay. And if Isa wasn’t… No, she wouldn’t think like that.

Carlito answered on the second ring. “Hey, I was just coming to see you.”

Her heart stuttered just a little bit at the thought of him dropping by tonight to see her. “Are you nearby?”

“Yeah, about two minutes away.”

“Do you feel like giving me a ride somewhere? Isa called me a while ago and was supposed to meet me here. But she hasn’t shown up. And that’s not like her. I think it might have something to do with the job we’re working on. I can’t really say more than that.”

“No problem. But what did Harrison say?”

She let out a sigh even as she started closing down her computer and cleaning up her desk for the day. “I’ve tried calling everyone I can think of who has the clearance for this job and no one is answering. Do you know if Belle went into labor?”

“Oh hell, that’s definitely a possibility. Last time I talked to Grant he said she was really close. Do you want me to see if I can get in touch with their dad?”

She paused as she closed her office door behind her. “Ah, yes, if you don’t mind.” Technically Keith Caldwell didn’t work for the company anymore.
