Tanya hadn’t been wrong. The moment they stepped in the door of the police station, Donna wanted to turn and run and never come back. And that was before the stench of sweat, colognes, and burnt coffee hit her. Breathe shallow. Yuck.

The officer behind the reception desk glanced up and back down at the paperwork he was doing. Then his head shot up again. His gaze was on Tanya. “Miss Sikes, right? You were here a couple or three months ago.” His eyes narrowed. “Beginning of June, right?”

Tanya nodded.

“What can I do for you?”

“Actually, it’s not me who needs your help this time.” She laid a hand on Donna’s arm. “The men who rescued me found Donna, too. I’m here as moral support. I’m sure Detective Calvert has a file on her and her brother.”

“The Elliston kids?” His eyes widened, and he turned his gaze on Donna.

Donna nodded.

He reached for the phone. “Do you want to wait in the same place?”

“Please.” Tanya waved him away. “I remember the way. Tell Detective Calvert we’ll be waiting for him.”

He nodded and grabbed up the phone.

Tanya led the way through the station, Colin bringing up the rear.

Donna’s jitters settled some once they were out of the noise and bustle of the front desk area. Her nerves went right back to high alert when Tanya went through a door marked “Interrogation”.

“I didn’t like it either,” Colin whispered.

She glanced sharply at him over her shoulder.

“Your panic level just spiked,” he murmured. “Remember to control your fear.”

She nodded and followed Tanya, who had sat at a table in the center of the room. Donna took the chair next to her.

Colin closed the door then leaned against the wall behind Tanya and crossed his arms over his chest, appearing relaxed and only semi-interested. At least, unless someone looked into alert, intense blue eyes. Then they’d know it was all a put-on.

Mere minutes after they arrived, the door opened and a middle-aged man in a business suit walked in with a file and notepad in one hand. His gaze quickly scanned the room, taking in Donna, Tanya, and Colin in one easy sweep. He smiled. “Miss Sikes, it’s good to see you again.”

“You, too, detective.”

“And Mr. Campbell, wasn’t it?” He offered Colin his hand.

“Yes, sir.” Colin shook the man’s hand then returned to leaning against the wall out of the way.

“Are you here as moral support for Miss Sikes again?”

He half-smiled. “No, sir. Playing chauffer. Tanya’s the moral support today.”

“I see.” The detective rounded the table and lowered himself into the chair across from Tanya and Donna. His gaze locked on Donna, and he nodded. “Miss Elliston, my name is Adrian Calvert. I’m the detective on your missing persons case. It’s good to see you safe and sound.”

If he only knew. “Thank you.”

“Is your brother safe as well?”

She nodded. “He’s been staying with friends.”

“So, speculation was correct. You absconded with your brother to escape your mother?”

“No, sir. I wish I had, but no. I was taken from the university campus Thursday evening.
