But that still didn’t allow me to be their executioner. I had a missing girl who should be home with her family, and I would do everything in my power to find her.
Dead or alive.
“I’m sorry,” Amy said quietly after a moment. “I’m not giving you much to go on.”
“It’s okay,” I offered with a small smile. “I’ve had worse to go on, honestly. I will do my best to find Hayley, I promise.”
“Thank you,” she said, her expression softening. “Listen, I know we haven’t ever been friends, but I do appreciate you looking into this. Chief Turner said you were one of the best here, and I… well, I want to find my sister.”
“I know,” I answered, feeling some of the pride well up in my chest. “I will do everything I can Amy.”
She nodded and slid a card across the table.
“Here’s my cell. Please don’t put it anywhere on your paperwork. I’d like to keep that part as private as possible, along with this case. If word gets out that Hayley is truly missing, it could mean bad times for us, Sydney. I can’t allow that to happen.”
I tucked it into my pocket for later, knowing what she meant.
“You won’t have to worry about it.”
“Good,” she said, standing.
I watched as she looked at her expression in the two-way mirror, wiping away the rest of the vulnerability she had just shown.
“Oh, one more thing.”
I stood.
“What’s that?”
She turned, a grin on her red lips.
“I know what happened to you all those years ago, and I promise I don’t care. I just want to find my sister.”
A shock vibrated through me, but I refused to show any weakness.
“Well, I’m glad that you are still interested in old news.”
Amy placed her hand on her hip, regarding me with an interested look.
“You hide it well, Sydney. Don’t let them get to you again. It’s not worth it.”
I didn’t want to talk about my former misgivings. That was none of her business, and I had moved past it.
After all, I had come back to Cibolo to face my demons. Not many people could say the same.
“Thanks,” she said, moving past me.
I waited until she was down the hall before I released a pent-up breath, the room still filled with her expensive perfume. She thought what everyone else did about me. It was fine. I couldn’t ignore the fact that it had happened, nor could I run from it.
Walking out of the room, I forced myself to turn toward the task at hand. Finding Hayley Travis. Amy had a right to be scared about her sister’s wellbeing. My gut reaction was that she had been taken by a rival gang; which one, I didn’t know.
If that was the case, they would use and abuse her to prove a point, driving her father mad with the knowledge that his baby girl was being tortured for her secrets in some of the worst ways imaginable.
It had to be a parent’s worst nightmare, no matter how bad the parent was.
Tapping the folder on my hand, I walked back to my desk. I would start putting out feelers to my contacts, see if anyone had heard anyone bragging about kidnapping Hayley. At some point, they would show their face, a slip up that would implicate them in the kidnapping, and I hoped I would be there to arrest them and bring Hayley home.
One way or another.
