By the time he got to Baton Rouge, he was too late to try to see her, as she was in rehearsals for her show. He told himself that he could wait until after her show. He had checked into a nice room at a hotel with good security, hoping that he could convince her to come back with him before they moved on to their next stop. He hoped that they had planned to stay here tonight. He could’ve called Sean and gotten the information, but he didn’t even want him to know he was here. He was convinced he was in love with her anyway, so he may not want her to see Ellis.

His phone rang, and he saw that it was the attorney he had retained. “Hello.”

“Ellis, Steven Moore.”

“Steve, tell me you have some good news.”

“Well, there is some progress. Children’s Services in New York have been out to see Mandy and Mason twice this week.”

“If they remove him, I want to know immediately. He will not end up in foster care.”

“I’m not sure you’ll have a choice about it, but you know that I’ll let you know. I’m working on talking to a judge in New York about your case. It’s difficult because we’re working on the laws of two different states here.

Ellis got an idea. “Steve, what if Carl could take custody of him? What do they call that? Non-relative?”

“Yes, he would be considered a non-relative caregiver. But the fact still remains that he’s in Florida and Mason is in New York. The paperwork nightmare that ensues when you try to move a child from one state to another that’s in the system can take months.”

“No,” Ellis said. “That can’t happen.”

“Well, first things first,” Steve said. “Let’s see what happens with Mandy, if they really remove Mason from her or not. From what I have found out about her, if Children’s Services does their job, he would be removed. But we all know that doesn’t always happen.”

Ellis closed his eyes. Fuck her. She took his son away from him to ruin his life, but instead she ruined both of their lives, his and Mason’s. He might not have been the best role model for Mason, but he sure as hell would’ve been better than Mandy. He was going to make this right if it was the last thing he did. He hated that his hands were tied, so right now he had to focus on the one thing he could do, and that was to get Sam back.

“Keep me updated,” Ellis said. “Thanks, Steve.”

He disconnected the call and went in to shower and get ready to see Sam tonight. One thing had to go right for him.
