When he stands, Dante rises too.He holds his hand out to Sebastian.
Sebastian cocks an eyebrow but takes his hand.
“Thank you.”
Sebastian chuckles.“Thank Mr.Money Bags here.”
He claps me hard on the shoulder, but I don’t wince.
I meet Dante’s eyes.“Whatever it takes to get her back.”
Dante nods and steps over to Wyatt.
“You need any help with the ship?”Sebastian runs his fingers along his jaw as if he can see more dollars coming his way.
“I’ve got it.”I shake my head and Sebastian nods.
“Be back in five hours.Get some sleep.I can’t carry your asses too.”Sebastian heads out the door with Mac and X following him.
As soon as the door closes, the silence in the room is stifling.I stand and head into Sara’s room.I need a shower at least and then need to make sure I have a bag ready to go.
When Dante follows me in, I raise an eyebrow.But he just goes to her dresser and closet and grabs a few essentials.They don’t know what condition they’ll find her in.We don’t even know what she wore outside, but at least it wasn’t the dress from the fundraiser.
I grab a few things and duck into the bathroom after he takes some toiletries for her.Setting my things down on the counter, I inhale her citrus scent and wish it wasn’t faded.Fuck.
The way I feel about this woman isn’t simple or easy.She’s not someone I want to cut ties with or even just want to keep around because she’s convenient.
“Hey.”Finn stands in the open doorway.He looks like I feel.So fucking lost.
“What do you need?”I turn and lean against the counter.
“Keys to your place.”Finn runs a hand through his already tousled hair.“We don’t want to bring her back here in case they come looking for her.”
Makes sense.He backs up as I walk out to my bag and grab my keys.I open my wallet and give him a white card.“The security code is two parts.Outside door, 0-5-2-7.Interior, 10-19.”
Finn pockets the keys and card.
“We’ll get her back.”I don’t know why I feel like I need to say that or why he needs to hear it.
His green eyes burn when he lifts them to mine.“I’ll destroy everything of his if we don’t.”
“I’m game.”I mean it.But I also believe we’ll get her back.Peter is a businessman, and every good businessman knows you don’t damage the goods if you want full compensation.
Finn leaves the room and a small buzz draws my attention to the dresser.I walk over and find Sara’s phone.She has multiple missed texts, but her phone needs a code.
I take it out to Dante.His attention is still on the tablet, like he’s trying to memorize the layout or see exactly where she’s being held.
“Do you know Sara’s passcode?”I hand him the phone.
He takes it and enters the code.He opens her messages.A group text is blowing up, wondering if she’s too busy to text back and needing details.
Her mom and her little sister have both texted.
“Do we need to let her family know?”I glance over at where Wyatt standing, but he must have gone into his room.
Dante puts the phone down on the kitchen table.“No.If we don’t get her back tomorrow, then we can reach out.”
I sink into the chair across from him.“We’ll find Tom.Maybe that will help unravel this mystery more.Or at least Natasha might have more information.”
