Chapter 16

Logan

I should have known better than to think she’d stay put. The moment I stepped out of the shower I knew something was wrong. I hurried to dress, only to find my worst fears confirmed. Cassie had taken off and I knew exactly where she’d be headed. This chick was obviously going to be a pain in my side. If my boss got word of me losing her, I’d never hear the end of it.

I hopped in my car scanning both sides of the road as I drove along. She couldn’t have gotten far, not without calling for a ride, which she’d have to wait for in this part of town.

Street by street I searched until finally I saw her walking. The moment she spotted my car she took off through a person’s yard. I parked a little further down, judging where she’d surface again. While making my way in her direction, I spotted her before she could see me coming. I ducked back behind a house to gain space between us. She was hiding behind a shed when I found her. I waited until I was a few feet away before startling her enough she’d turn around instead of running. “I should have known you wouldn’t listen.”

I grabbed her by the arm and started leading her back to the car. “Get off me,” she fought.

“I need you to listen, Cassie. I’m doing this to keep you safe, not to be an asshole. You have no idea what you’re walking into.”

“Don’t you get it?” She argued. “I don’t care what I’m walking into. I have to know he’s okay.”

“I’ve already confirmed it. Let us do our jobs.”

“I’m sorry. I can’t. You can drag me to jail if you want, but I’m not going down without a fight. I need to see him. Please. You say you want to help, but you’re not doing anything I need you to.”

“I’m prohibited from allowing you to complicate our investigation. You’re safe with me. That’s all you need to worry about right now.”

Before she responded I felt a swift kick between my legs, sending me down to my knees. The pain radiated into my stomach, crippling me for a brief moment. It was enough time for her to break free of my hold and take off down the road.

It took me a minute to regain composure. When I did I drove as fast as I could toward the suspects property. If Cassie was determined to go there, I’d be waiting to stop her. I couldn’t let her appearance ruin our chances of catching Mr. James. We’d put too much time and money into closing the case for a crazy insecure woman to interfere.

Prior to arriving, I made a call to my unit to notify them to be on the lookout for Cassie. I told them to restrain her without a scene, by any means possible. That meant if she fought them she’d get tased, and I knew from experience that it hurt like a bitch.
