“What’s the problem?”Pryce asked.
“I can’t reach Harmony,” Marcus said, sliding a look at Damien.
“What?”Damien snapped.“It’s been hours since I saw her.She could be hurt.She could be…” He couldn’t bring himself to say the word.
“I sent someone to her apartment and her work.They haven’t been able to locate her,” Marcus said.
“She was going to work after breakfast.We drove separately from her apartment so she didn’t have to double back.”Damien ran a hand over his head.He needed to find her.Now.
“Until she’s missing for twenty-four hours, we can’t do anything,” Pryce said.
“Fuck that.I’m going to find her,” Damien said.He walked away from the two cops, knowing Marcus mentioned Harmony in front of him for that exact reason.Damien would find her.
He climbed in his SUV and tore out of the police visitor lot, turning toward Harmony’s apartment first since it was closer.
He drove around the parking lot, but her car wasn’t there.It didn’t mean she wasn’t, but he had a feeling she was at work, where she said she would be.
Damien debated going straight there, but he knew he needed to update his boss on his own situation.He tapped the screen and called Montgomery.
“Rose.”
“Harmony is missing.”
“What do you mean, missing?”
“Marcus has been trying to reach her, but he can’t get in touch with her.I’m on my way to her school to see if she’s there.”
“What do you need from us?”
“Nothing right now.I just wanted you to know.”
“I guess I should be grateful you haven’t been arrested,” Montgomery said.
“I was worried for a minute, but Pryce is handling the investigation.”
“At least it’s someone who knows you’re not going to go after someone for revenge.He knows you’d never murder someone.”
“Yeah,” Damien agreed, well aware it could have been much worse.He’d had things like that go much worse.
“Keep us posted on finding Harmony.We can try to get her on some traffic cameras if you need us to track her.”
“Hopefully it doesn’t come to that.”
“Agreed.Are you coming back here after you find her?”
“I hope so,” Damien said, turning onto campus.“I’m here.I’ll call you when I know.”
“Copy.”
Damien hung up, his eyes focused on the vehicles he passed.Now that he knew what Harmony drove, he had a better chance of seeing if she was there.
The campus was busy.Cars were parked in every available spot.He started close to her building, but when he didn’t see her car, he moved farther and farther away.After searching the entire lot outside her building, he noticed a small driveway that seemed to disappear into the building.
Damien drove down the alley, going slowly in case someone was coming out.When he made it to the interior, there were a dozen vehicles parked near a door marked Employees Only.
Damien sighed heavily when he saw Harmony’s blue sedan with the dented rear passenger door and scraped bumper.
He knew he’d never get into the building using the solid steel door with keycard access, so he went back to the main lot and lucked into a parking space not too far from the door.
