The two women got off on the third floor as he impatiently waited for the fourth floor.
He needed to see Cecelia now and to know she was okay.
The doors opened, and he hurried to Sam’s room.
Cecelia wasn’t in the room. But her cane was leaning against the wall. He frowned when he saw it.
Sam was looking at him quizzically.
They both spoke at once. “Where’s Cecelia?”
“She’s not with you?” Sam asked, her face showing concern.
“No,” he said. “Tell me what happened.”
“There was a fire alarm, and people started going outside,” she said. “She left with one of the doctors.”
“What did he look like?” Brian pulled out his phone to check the tracking device.
The tracking device was still working. Still turned on.
She’d been taken and there was no point in searching the hospital.
The device showed she was already gone from the building.
“She’s not here and my app notified me she wasn’t here, soon after she was away from the hospital,” he said then glanced at Sam.
“Oh no,” Sam said. “What’s happened to her?”
“I can track her and I’m going to find her.” Without another word, he was out the door, intent on following the GPS as it showed movement.
At the elevator, he punched the button and impatiently waited for the doors to open.
When they opened, he stepped in, and once the doors opened on the ground floor, he left at a run.
Getting in his truck, he started in the direction she’d gone, following that path.
They had headed for Mexico. The Mexican border was only thirty minutes from the hospital.
They’d moved her over the border. She was in Mexico.
Fast and easy to get in, she’d now be in Mexico with only her driver’s license. If she still had her driver’s license on her. They might have taken it away.
Did she even own a passport? Had she ever left the country? Did she want to travel outside the United States?
So many questions he hadn’t been able to ask her yet. They were still getting to know each other.
He doubted she had traveled much, if at all.
She’d never left Three C’s Ranch since she’d started working there to go anywhere other than an appointment in town.
She’ll be terrified right now, and have no idea where she was being taken, or for what reason.
Mexico was close. So quick and easy to take her over the border.
Damn it.
A pretty silver haired woman who was blind was a soft target.
