Or Tristan—this had to be about her brother, right? He’d incriminated her in…something. Or dragged her into this because she’d come up here looking for him.

Whoever was responsible, Logan was going to throttle them until he no longer heard Jamie’s scream echoing in his head.

He needed to work the problem.

Find her.

The only way to do that was the tracker ring she’d told him she’d slipped into her brother’s pocket. Logan had picked up the signal at the compound, the GPS having registered there when they’d checked Tucker’s computer. But they hadn’t found the ring or her brother, just destruction and the remnants of a meth lab.

Maybe the company she worked for—the company sheran—had a way to find her.

Someone like Jamie—the person behind their business, the corporation she’d started—was an asset they wouldn’t want to lose.

“Skye, give me her phone.” Logan motioned with his hand.

Everyone else was talking to people on the street. Asking who’d seen what. He spotted Jade a ways down the sidewalk, one of the sheriff’s deputies beside her, heading this way.

Wind whipped at his hair, and he shivered. The exertion of the day and that rush of adrenaline would leave him shaky if he didn’t get a handle on himself.

Skye hung up the phone. “What do you need it for?”

“We don’t have time for questions.” He didn’t like being abrupt, but there was little time to lose. Jamie had been kidnapped.

Just thinking it made his knees weaken.

He found Samuel’s number in the contacts and dialed, putting the call on speaker.

“Jamie, those were good notes.” He had a friendly voice and sounded older. She’d told Logan the guy had retired and come to work for her. A mentor. A friend.

“This is Logan Crawford. Minutes ago, Jamie was abducted. We don’t know who snatched her, but they ambushed her on the street, and she dropped her phone.” He paused long enough to draw in some air so his head quit swimming. “Do you have a way to find her?”

Silence.

“Samuel.”

“Yes.” He cleared his throat. “Logan, you said?”

“You know who I am?”

“Yes, son. I do,” the older man said. “She was taken?”

“Kidnapped, yes. I think it has something to do with her brother.”

Skye shifted closer to him. Jade neared them, and a uniformed deputy stood by her. The others would gather around as soon as they were done talking to bystanders. But he didn’t want to stand around. He wanted to get moving.

Find her.

But right now, he had no direction to go.

Logan said, “Hopefully they don’t realize who they have on their hands.” He thanked God that Jamie lived quietly, not the kind of CEO whose face was on the cover ofForbesmagazine. “Do you have a way to find her?”

“I’ll get our tech people on it,” Samuel said. “And I’ll call you back.”

The call ended.

Logan blew out a breath.

Skye squeezed his shoulder. “Rio isn’t picking up.”
