MAC

I hung up the phone with Samantha and leaned back in my chair. “Jesus, what a day,” I said looking at the clock on the wall.

A knock at the door startled me, and I stood, checking my zipper and pants. I might have just jacked off in the office, but there was no reason for everyone to know about it. “Yeah?”

“It’s me. Micah.”

Unlocking the door, I stepped away, allowing her to enter.

“Why was your door locked?”

“I was…having a private conversation.”

Micah sat, dropping her head as she began to sob.

I placed my hand on her back. “C’mon now. We’re doing everything we can to get her back safe and sound.”

“It’s not happening fast enough, Mac. Why is it taking you so long? Can’t you just bust down the door and get her?”

“What door, Micah? These guys are so far underground at this point all we want to do is get Frankie out alive. We can worry about them being prosecuted later. Okay?”

Abruptly she stood, throwing her arms around my neck. “I’m sorry,” she sobbed. “I just feel like maybe because of everything that happened the other night, you’re not as invested in finding her. That’s all.”

I pulled her shaking body from mine. “What are you even saying?”

“It’s just…when I told you I loved you and finally came clean about us having sex all those years ago. I mean, I did it to piss you off. Because you’re happy and I’m not. Now I just feel like it’s all come back around to bite me in the ass.”

“Okay,” I said, closing the door. “First off, I am upset you didn’t tell me what went down between us years ago.”

“Did you choose those words on purpose, Mac?”

“Shit, Micah. You’re the most frustrating woman I’ve ever known. You should’ve told me a long time ago. I’m sorry it happened. It doesn’t change how I feel about you. I love you like a friend and I think of you as the sister I never had—regardless of what I do or do not remember. Now you’re either going to have to deal with that, or walk away from me all together.” The past few days were taking their toll on my patience. I opened my arms and stepped away from Micah. “This is it, Micah. This is what it is. You’re either fine with it, or you’re not. Either way, I will get Frankie back safe and sound.”

I threw open the door, storming out, where Fuller waited for me at the end of the hall with Dan.

“I need to see you, Callahan,” Dan said, pointing to the door of his office.

I looked to Fuller for any indication as to what was going down. I got nothing.

“Sit this one out, Fuller,” Dan said, closing the door in his face.

I sat down and waited for him to take his own place behind the desk. It was late—too late for Dan to still be in the office. That was, unless something big was going down. Something bigger than Frankie going missing.
