Chapter 6

A s Knoah laid in bed that night he couldn’t believe he’d been such an idiot. Veera had broken important plans with him before so he didn’t know why he was so shocked that she hadn’t shown up for frozen yogurt that night. He’d waited a whole hour for her before he had given up and gone home. He’d even skipped his mom’s famous Crazy Cake so he wouldn’t be too full for yogurt and the cake was long gone when he got home because Riggs finished off the entire thing. He’d gotten really mad at Riggs about it but he and Riggs both knew that wasn’t what he was angry about. Apparently Veera had a thing with breaking plans with him.

His phone started buzzing on his night stand and Knoah checked the number. He didn’t recognize it. He looked at the time. 11:52. Who would be calling him at this hour?

“Hello?” he said, asking it like a question.

“Hello, Knoah?” The man’s voice was panicked and Knoah perked up?

“Yes?” he answered quickly.

“It’s Thomas St. Pierre, have you seen Veera? Is she with you? She left around 7:30 and wouldn’t tell me where she was going. I assumed she was with you so I didn’t worry, but now…”

“What? Veera? No she’s not, I haven’t seen her since the graduation ceremony. Is she not home?”

Thomas swore loudly. “No! I thought they were bluffing but they’ve got her and I don’t know where they’ve taken her. They say if I call the police they’ll kill her.”

Knoah jumped out of bed. “WHAT?! Who? Who has her? Where did they take her? You have to call the police Thomas! No matter what they said.”

“You don’t know these people Knoah. They’re bad news. I think they’ll really do it unless I do what they say.” Knoah had never heard Mr. St Pierre sound this way. It made Knoah go cold all over.

“Who are they Thomas? Tell me what you know. I may not be the police but my brothers and I can find her.”

Thomas hesitated but his desperation won out. “One of my clients is in a legal battle with a guy that is bad news. They’ve been threatening me and my family so I’ll intentionally lose the case. I’ve put them off for about a year but the last court session didn’t go their way and the cryptic email they sent has had me looking over my shoulder for weeks. I got another email tonight and…and….” his voice broke and he couldn’t finish.

“And what Thomas? What did it say?”
