Something is wrong. Jules doesn’t disappear like this. She always has her phone on her or returns my call fairly quickly.
There’s a knock on my front door, but before I can open it, Billie comes striding through with Beckett and Skyla on her heels.
“We’re all coming to help,” Beck says. “How long has she been missing?”
“We don’t know—” Billie begins, but I cut her off.
“She left the restaurant a couple of hours ago. I was supposed to meet her here.”
Bridger and Dani file in, and then Harper and Blake behind them. Blake’s still in scrubs, and he’s scowling.
“Where the fuck is she?” he demands.
“We don’t know yet,” Billie replies.
“Maybe she went for one of her walks and forgot her phone?” Skyla asks.
“Her phone isn’t here,” I reply.
“But it’s not impossible,” Bridger adds. “I’ll make some calls.”
He steps out of the room, and all I can do is stare at the people I love so much.
“I don’t know what to do.” I rub my chest, over where my heart thumps in overtime. “Fuck, I don’t know what to do.”
“She’s fine,” Billie insists. “She’s just not hearing her phone. Maybe she really did have to run to the store.”
“She’d be back my now,” I growl. “I’m going to tear this town apart.”
“No need,” Bridge says, shaking his head. “I just spoke with Chase Wild. He’s getting some eyes out there, in case she’s taking that walk.”
“I’m texting Christy,” Billie adds. “Just asked her to check the upstairs of the restaurant.”
Harper flips on my lights, since the sun has gone down and it’s getting dark.
“She could be hurt,” I mutter, my hands moving in and out of fists, as I pace back and forth in the living room. “What if her car went off the road?”
“Her car is in the driveway,” Blake reminds me. “I’ll call the hospital and see if anyone with her description is in the ER.”
He walks away to make that call.
When my own phone rings, I blink at Chase’s name and answer it. “Please tell me you found her.”
“I’m sorry, no. I’m checking in to see if she came home.”
“No, not yet. Can I file a missing person’s report?”
“Not until it’s been twenty-four hours.” His voice is grim. “But I have our guys looking for her unofficially while they’re out on patrol. Tell me what you know.”
I run it down for him, feeling the frustration swell as I go through it all over again, my family listening in.
“Let’s keep each other posted,” Chase says. “I’m sure she’s fine. We just have to find her.”
I hang up, and our gazes fly to the front door when it opens, and Millie and Holden walk in.
Fuck.
“We drove all over town just now,” Holden says grimly. “We didn’t see her.”
