The elevator door opens, and another man walks out. “Where’s my sister?” he asks, sounding desperate.

So, this is her brother. The thought hits me now of how wrong it was that we never even bothered to meet him.

“We are waiting on the video,” I tell him.

I look over at my men, and Braxton and Dylan are both sitting on the couch with their heads in their hands.

“What’s wrong with them?” Holly’s brother asks.

“Well, they thought Holly was fucking Logan and that’s why she ran out of here, and now she’s missing,” Kyla says, and the words are like knives to my chest.

Fuck.

This is all kinds of messed up.

“What the fuck?” he hisses angrily.

“We will deal with that once we find her,” Kyla says, and he nods his head but still glares at my men.

I don’t even have any energy to argue with them because they are all rightfully angry. I am too.

“And this one?” he says, gesturing to me.

Kyla smiles softly at me. “Seems to be the only one who knew Holly enough to know that she wouldn’t do something like that.”

“Name’s Dante,” Holly’s brother says, holding out his hand.

“Easton,” I murmur.

We wait for the owner to come up with the video footage.

When he does, we hook it up to our TV and skip through the morning. When lunch rolls around, I see Logan pull up and Holly running into his arms and smiling. She gets into the vehicle. When I glance at Braxton, he drops his head.

We skip over to when Logan says he dropped her off. She gets out of the vehicle smiling, looking happy.

It’s only minutes later when she runs back out and flags down a taxi.

You can’t really see the man, but he sees her phone sticking out of her pocket and takes it quickly, throwing it into the flower pot before putting her bag into the trunk.

He’s wearing sunglasses and a hat so that you can’t see his face. He keeps his head down too; like he knows where the cameras are.

Holly gets into the vehicle, and that’s the last of it.

“We need to get the police involved,” Kyla says, looking at the video in horror.

“It was planned out. Almost like he was waiting for her. He knew he was going to take her, since he threw her phone away,” Levi says, looking at the video over and over again.

Fuck. We will find you, baby. I won’t rest until we do. I think to myself as Kyla calls the police.

I’ll do anything to get her back safe and unharmed.

Chapter Fifteen

Braxton

Days pass and, with each one, I feel a sense of dread.

Not a single person has seen Holly. The police are looking for her, there are missing person signs everywhere, and we even went to social media for help locating her.
