No answer.

“Something happened to her,” I say, my voice tight. I don’t know how I know that with such deep certainty, but I do. “She’d be back by now otherwise.”

It’s as if my saying it out loud confirms what we’ve all been thinking, and fear ripples through all of us. I can feel it. I can see it in my brothers’ faces and their body language—even Priest, who’s usually harder to read than that.

“Okay, so we’ll go after her,” Ash says. I can tell he’s trying to keep calm, to be the voice of reason or something. It’s not usually his role, but I guess when it comes to River, it’s what he feels like he has to do.

She’s changed all of us in one way or another, made us different versions of the people we were before she came into our lives. It’s hard to know if it’s for better or worse, but right this second, it doesn’t really matter.

We just have to find her.

We have to get her back.

“What name was she going after today?” Priest asks.

I open my mouth but then realize I don’t know. She never said. I glance at Knox, who shrugs and shakes his head. Ash comes up blank too.

“She was in the middle somewhere, I think,” I say. “Fuck. I’m not sure.”

“Great. That narrows it down exactly fuck-all.” Knox curses. “We can’t just roam the streets looking for her. We need to narrow it down more than that.”

“We could try to track her car,” Priest says suddenly. “We know she left here in that, so if we can get a ping on it from traffic cameras or security cameras, we can at least figure out what she drove past and when.”

I nod. It still seems like too fucking little, but it’s all we have. Knox is right that roaming the streets just shouting River’s name isn’t going to accomplish shit. And we’ve done business with a hacker before who might be able to access the footage we need.

“I’ll call Tommy,” I say grimly, punching in a new number on my phone.
