Chapter 261

“Kent!” Daniel shouts into the phone as Jerome drives frantically down the road, blazing through intersections, weaving around and between cars. “Someone – someone f*****g took her!”

They’d done their best to follow the van, but it had already been too late. By the time that they realized that Fay was gone from the side of the road – that she’d been snatched and wasn’t just hiding or something – the van was already out of sight, driving like a maniac. The farmer had screamed for them to go after her and they’d gotten into the car as fast as they could –

But by the time they were on the road after it?

The trail was completely cold. They had absolutely no idea where it had gone.

They’d done their best, of course, to find any trace –

But it was a lost cause. Now they’re speeding home, trying to get to Kent, because he’ll know what to do. Jerome glances anxiously at Daniel, trying to listen to the conversation as Daniel stumbles out an explanation of what happened as best he can. Daniel’s voice shakes throughout the entire call and Jerome can tell that he’s close to frantic tears. Jerome presses further on the gas pedal, trying to get home as fast as possible.
