“Billionaire’s row,” I answer. It’s like finding a fish in the ocean.
“Are there any apartments registered to the Whitney-Morgan foundation in the building?”
“The entire building is owned by it.”
“Shit,” I say. “Thank you. Let me know what to send.”
“10.”
And with that, we hang up.
I hide my face in my hands. I have tried everything.
A hand on my shoulder from behind me.
It’s the moment I realize Jane is still here. And witnessed what I just did. I blew up everything.
“No news is good news,” she says.
“No,” I say and jump up. “There is always news about her. If there is no news, it means no one saw her.”
I should have stayed awake. Plan with her. Should have known she took something.
There is only one thing left.
I take my phone and dial Alex’s number.
“Blake,” he answers.
“It’s me, Amelie. Do you know where El is?” I ask in the most innocent voice I can pull off. “I can’t reach her, and you were gone too, so?—“
“Hang on,” he says. And I listen to him walk through several doors.
“I can’t talk right now,” he says. “But she is gone, cut ties with him, the foundation, everyone. He is furious and flying in from London. He has hell and earth set in motion to find her.”
It doesn’t sound as if he’s lying. But what if he’s that good?
“When was the last time you saw her?”
“When she went for a walk in Central Park. She used her credit card to buy a coffee there, and since then, we lost her.”
Credit card.They are tracking her credit card data.
“Thanks,” I say, and hang up as I shoot to the drawer at the entrance door with all the keys and important stuff in. I throw everything out like a crazy person, because the drawer is a mess. When everything is lying on the floor around me, I know my Amex is gone.
“She took my card,” I say out loud. I don’t care about the card, but it means I can trace what she did with it.
I log in to my account.
There it is. A flight booked with VistaJet.
And it’s the moment I understand.
My eyes wander from my phone to the crumpled note from her in my hand.
I have to do it now, or I never will.
A smile appears on my face as relief spreads through me.
