Chapter Twenty
Blake
I sigh with relief as Noah and I wave goodbye to Tommy, the little five-year-old boy whoâs heading off to live on his grandfather's ranch in Colorado.
Tommyâs mother, Ellen, hired Price Security as a protection detail to get her to and from the courthouse safely while she battled against her abusive soon-to-be ex-husband for sole custody of her son. A son that had been sent to the emergency room six times already in his young life. Despite both Tommy and Ellen telling hospital staff and the police that Edward, Tommyâs father, was the one responsible for Tommyâs injuries, Edward had walked free. Not because he was innocent, but because he was loaded and had a judge or two in his pocket, meaning everything got swept under the rug.
When Tommy found Ellen dead one morning in a pool of her own blood after a so-called botched robbery, Tommy was sent to live with his father. A father who didnât know that Ellen had security cameras installed by yours truly in every room of her house.
Thanks to the footage I pulled, Edward is now facing a life sentence and Tommy gets to live with his grandfather who seems like a good man who adores his grandson.
Despite my frustration at not being able to save Ellen, Iâm happy we managed to get Tommy out of his father's evil clutches.
âThink heâll be okay?â Noah asks as they pull away.
âYeah, I do. He has a rough road ahead of him, but he's safe now, and thatâs half the battle.â
âPlus, you can see the grandfather adores him,â Noah adds.
I nod in agreement, thankful the kid has that. He deserves it.
I pull my phone out to turn the volume back on and see I have eighteen missed calls and seven text messages. I frown as a feeling in the pit of my gut tells me to brace myself.
âWhatâs wrong?â Noah asks, taking in my facial expression before whipping out his phone and cursing.
I donât say anything, I just dial Marcus and wait until he picks up.
âBlake, man, Jesus fucking Christ. Get back here now. Meet me at the hospital.â
âWhat the fuck is going on? Whereâs Callie? Is she okay?â I ask, climbing into my truck with Noah getting into the passenger seat beside me.
I switch my phone over to Bluetooth and let Marcusâs voice fill the cab.
âCallieâs gone. I canât talk because the cops are here. Just hurry the fuck up,â he snaps before hanging up on me, leaving me to feel like the bottom just fell out of my world.
I slam my hand on the steering wheel and pull out of the parking lot with a screech.
âKeep calm, Blake, Callie needs you in one piece. You just concentrate on driving, and Iâll call the guys and see what I can find out.
âKeep calm? How the fuck am I supposed to keep calm when I donât know where she is?â I snap.
âWe donât know anything is wrong yetââ
âShe wouldnât leave without one of us with her. She knows what's at stake, so donât tell me to calm down, Noah.
