Chapter 6

They couldn’t get ahold of Bobby. Rob had been trying as well. No one had seen or heard from him, and the picture was beginning to get bleak.

“Why would he take them somewhere? And where?” McKenzie felt a headache beginning to build behind his eyes.

“I don’t know. Obviously, the drugs are involved, but I don’t understand how his kids fit in unless he hid them for safekeeping. Maybe someone threatened to do something to them?” John was trying to be optimistic, McKenzie knew, but he also knew John was probably thinking the same dark thoughts that he was.

“What if he traded them for a debt or drugs or his own life?”

“That would be pretty terrible.” John’s face paled.

“So how do we find him?” McKenzie rubbed his head as he stared out the hotel window.

“We could call Bailey, see if he can get a BOLO on him?” John shrugged.

“He couldn’t request that from New York without having a reason for an out of state hunt.” McKenzie shook his head.

Phil Bailey was another one of the Old Farts, and the only one that had actually decided to go into retirement, another reason why he wouldn’t be able to help on an out of state case. Most of his connections were good from his NYPD days, but not for actively using police intel and funds for a case in Florida.

“We just have to tell Rob that we need to find Bobby and that Bobby was the last to see the kids.” McKenzie paused for a moment, and then suddenly turned to John, “What if she was lyin’?”

“It’s possible. I mean, she wanted us gone and time to ‘clean,’ so she could have said anything to get us to leave.”

“But she seemed sincere when we were leavin’ and she said she wanted us to find them.”

“Just because she said it, and she was pretty and staring at you, doesn’t mean she meant it.” John cocked his brow at McKenzie, knowing how pretty women tended to cloud his vision.

McKenzie frowned as he looked through the pictures and papers again, hoping to find something that would give him more direction. His frustration was growing and the limits he had in dealing with cases like this made him question his ability to actually solve the damn thing.

“Alright, I’ll call…” and before he could finish his phone rang.

“Rob? I was just about to call…yeah? Okay, we’re on our way. We’ve heard one story from his girlfriend and it doesn’t make him look too good, so I need a sit down with him. Yeah, I’ll tell you about it. Alright, see ya then.” McKenzie ended the call and looked up at John. “Rob caught Bobby tryin’ to break into his house. His son is a mess, apparently, and should be more than willin’ to talk. Maybe we can start makin’ some heads or tails of this mess.”

John nodded and they gathered up what they needed before going over to the condo. McKenzie felt the fury was starting to build.
