Chapter Two

Wade Cahill searched through the small rental house that Carissa Stephenson and her daughter Gabby had once inhabited. It had been empty for at least a month, he guessed. The lady who owned the place had let him in, even though he didn’t have jurisdiction here. She had informed him that she hadn’t seen or heard anything and that Carissa had paid the rent through the end of the year up front.

He had been working so hard to get her to turn in that bastard ex-boyfriend of hers. She had gotten the short end of the stick when she had reported it the first time, and the crooked detective who took her statement ended up telling the boyfriend about it rather than processing a report.

He shook his head as he looked around at the clean house. Not a single thing out of place, and all of their clothes were still neatly folded into drawers. Whatever had caused them to disappear had been quick, and Carissa must not have seen it coming. Her best friend, Ashleigh Hutchinson, had been the one to make the call to him. Said that Carissa didn’t show up to their once a month play date and that she had not missed one before.

Carissa had looked so small when he had seen her last. Her blonde hair was pulled back tightly, her eyes wide with fear. He could only imagine why she ran. He had tried to track down her ex, Parker, but he hadn’t been seen or heard from either.

Wade clenched his fists. If that asshole got ahold of them, he was going to put him away for good, that was if he even made it to jail. Wade had no tolerance for men who hurt women.

Wade pulled the door closed behind him and headed back to the landlord’s house.

“Hi, again, Mrs. Kinley,” he offered with a smile. “Here’s my card, if you hear or see anything or if she shows back up, will you call me?”

“Of course. I’m sure she’s alright, she’s a smart girl, and she loves that baby more than anything. She wouldn’t have let anything happen to Gabby or herself,” she said softly and patted his shoulder.

Wade just nodded and headed for his car. He needed a drink.
