Chapter 16

"Negative. There's nothing here," Toad's voice came from the cell phone sitting in Cowboy's hand.

"Damn!" Bruiser cursed and stomped away a few feet then returned. "Three freaking goose-eggs."

"I'm sorry, Bruise."

"It's not your fault, Toad." Bruiser raked his fingers through his hair, making the strands stand straight up. "Where the hell is she?"

"What do you want us to do," Hick asked from his location with Railroad.

Bruiser had no idea how to answer that question, so he didn't say anything. The team had been going for more than forty-eight hours with very little sleep. They were all cranky, but the added stress of not knowing where Livy was, had Bruiser tied in a knot of anxiety. Between trips to Nat's and manning their make-shift command center, he was exhausted. Keeping up with duty on the base didn't help either. Thank God, they were all trained for intense situations. Lesser men would have cracked under this much pressure.

"Holy crap on a cracker," Digger exclaimed.

"What?" Bruiser crowded in closer to Cowboy. "What's going on?"

"Let me turn this up."

The sound of a news program was tinny on the little speaker, but they were able to catch the words easily.

Renowned best-selling author, Joselyn Chambers, has posted a $25,000 reward for information leading to the safe return of Olivia Parker. Miss Parker, shown in this recent photo, is believed to have been kidnapped from outside her job location just after noon yesterday. She is five foot six inches tall, 146 pounds with brown skin, dark brown hair and hazel eyes.

Ms. Chambers is currently attending the Write the World Convention downtown and stopped her busy schedule to lend a hand. When asked about the generous offer, Ms. Chambers stated that Miss Parker is a personal friend of her family and she wanted to do anything possible to ensure her safe return home.

If you have any information on the disappearance of Olivia Parker, please contact the hotline number listed below or the San Diego Police Department.

Cowboy whistled. "Go, Joselyn."

Bruiser had no words. None. Joselyn's generous spirit floored him. She barely knew Olivia, but she was going out of her way to help however she could. Perhaps another person would balk at this kind offer, or out-right refuse it, but not Bruiser. He would gladly swallow his pride and take any help he could get if it led to Olivia's return.

Cowboy put a hand on Bruiser's shoulder. "Why don't you go check on Natalie and Jayden? Maybe take them something to eat. I'm sure they both could use a little support. We'll keep combing the area. I know Digger said there was nothing concrete about the freight company, but I want to check it out anyway. I'll get Railroad and Finch to meet me there."

"Yeah, okay. I'll do that," Bruiser acquiesced. "You'll call me if you find anything?"

"I will," Cowboy promised.

Forty minutes later, Bruiser stood at the door of Auntie Nat's house, his hands filled with bags. Jayden answered the door with a smile that quickly turned to a frown.
