Chapter 6

Patrick

Amara must have driven like she was in NASCAR because by the time I get to her apartment complex, she looks like she’s been pacing outside for hours.

“They aren’t here.” She runs toward me, her hands shaking.

I take hold of them and pull her into my arms. “Hey, it's going to be alright. Let me make a quick call and we’ll find out where Justin is.” I keep rubbing her back with one hand while the other calls my contact at the Agency.

“I need you to track the phone of Justin Wilson.”

An unnamed man responds. “The same deal as last time?”

“Yes.” Sometimes the Agency deals in cash, but sometimes they want favors. I’ll agree to anything if it helps Amara find her son.

There’s some clicking in the background, like he’s working on a keyboard. Within a minute, he’s done. “I just sent the location to your phone with a personalized tracking app for his, and only his, phone.”

“Thank you.”

He hangs up without responding. Fine with me. I open the app immediately, then show the screen to Amara. “Babe, look. Justin’s right around the corner. He’ll be here within two minutes. We’ll find out what’s going on.”

It’s evident that two minutes felt like eternity to Amara. When Justin pulls into the parking lot, we can clearly see the top of Josiah’s head in the passenger seat of the car. Briefly, Amara sags into me with apparent relief.

“He’s okay. Thank god he’s okay.” She wipes the tears from her eyes before straightening, adjusts her shirt, and marches to where Justin has parked the car.

“Hey, J-Baby.” Amara opens the passenger door and pulls Josiah into a hug. Her relief is like a palpable force, wrapping securely around her son. She holds him for a minute. The sight of them together makes my chest tighten. I want that. I want to wrap my arms around both of them, protect them from the world, and become one of the people they love.

“Josiah, sweetie, go inside and get cleaned up. I think we have some cookies in the cupboard. Have a snack and I’ll be there in a minute.”

“Okay, Mom.” He scampers to the apartment, waving at me along the way. “Hi, Mr. Pat!”

I wave back but keep most of my attention on Amara and Justin. Joining them, I put my arm around her shoulders to maintain the charade that we’re together. Though it won’t be a charade for long if I have anything to say about it.

“Justin.” Amara sounds furious. “What the hell? You can’t just pick Josiah up from school without telling me.”

“He’s my son too.” He sounds like a tool.

“That has nothing to do with it. I thought he’d been kidnapped! I was two minutes away from calling the police.”

He rolls his eyes. “Calm down. I just wanted to take him out for a burger. You’re the one making it into a big deal.”

If I wasn’t worried about Josiah peeking out a window, I’d punch this douche in the face. The way he disrespects Amara infuriates me.
