"Someone needs to convince Danny to come back." Jack said.
"Why?" Samantha asked, surprised.
"Something's not right. Can we put a tail on Carlos?" Jack asked.
"Um, yeah, but is that nessesary? He's not a suspect..." Samantha said, trying to read Jack's facial expression.
"Just do it until Danny gets back, ok?" Jack said.
"Yeah. Sure." Samantha watched Jack for a moment longer before turning around and leaving the break room.
"Can you do something for me Sofie?" Carlos asked, holding out a tape recorder.
"Sure. What is it?" Sofie asked, craning her neck to get a better look at the recorder.
"I need you to read off of this piece of paper. You need to sound really scared ok? It's for a movie daddy's making." Carlos said encouragingly.
"Ok." Sofie said. She took the piece of paper from Carlos and began to read aloud.
Danny's face turned white as he listened to the message.
He listened carefully, then began to carry out the instructions. Step 1: Throw the cell phone into the dumpster across the street. Done.
Onto Step 2.
"Jack, the tail can't find Carlos." Samantha said.
"What do you mean he can't find him?" Jack asked angrily.
"No one's seen him for days." Samantha explained.
"Can you call Danny's cell phone again? Make sure he's safe?" Jack asked.
"Right now?" Samantha asked.
"Yes." Jack said.
Samantha dialed the phone number and put it on speaker.
This is Danny Taylor, I can't come to the phone right now, please leave a message and I'll call you back as soon as I can.
"Which cell tower did the phone ping off of last?" Jack asked.
"I'll go find out." Samantha offered then left for the tech room.
Jack sat down at his desk and put his head into his hands. I have a bad feeling about this.
Alright there's chapter 4. More to come! Sorry I've been slow on updates, getting back into the swing of things now.
