Chapter 21:

"Wait, stop the taxi." Emma shouted, changing her mind on where to go. The taxi stopped and the driver looked back at her.

"Something wrong?"

"I changed my mind, can you take me to 85 Cherry Wood Drive." She asked, knowing this place would have money for her to grab.

"Sure thing, it is just going to cost you a bit more." Emma nodded and the driver did a U-turn, Emma sighed and stared at the stars as they drove to the one place she swore she would never return to.

"Did you find the bitch?" Neal shouted, limping into the computer station.

"No sir, we are still trying to gain access to the video cameras." One of his men responded, typing away on the computer.

"We need to find her, she is Killian's weakness. Plus she is too gorgeous to let disappear without me getting a taste." Neal demanded, sitting down in a chair. His foot was swollen and hurt like hell but he couldn't stop himself from being proud of her good aim.

"Any news?" Jefferson said, walking into the apartment.

"I have a license plate number of the cab she got into. But no activity on Killian's credit card but I have set up an alert on it so that when she uses it, we will get a location." Graham responded, collecting a couple of men to go find the cab.

"Good, we have to find her before Neal. He knows that Killian has a weakness for her so he will try to use her against him. Plus finding her is something Killian would want." Sadness spread over Jefferson's face as he thought of Killian.

"We will bring her home safe and sound." Graham said, patting his friend on the back.

"Are you sure this is the right address?" The cab driver asked, pulling to a stop in front of an empty house. The windows were destroyed and trash was spread around the yard.

"Yes, this is the place."

"Alright, it will be $25.24." The driver said, holding out his hand for payment. Emma handed him Killian's credit card that she still had from the shopping trip.

"Thank you, have a good night." The driver said, handing back the card after he swiped it through the machine.

"Thank you, you too." Emma said, climbing out of the vehicle. She walked slowly up to the front door, memories flooding back to her.

"Home sweet home." She whispered, pushing open the door.

"We got a hit." One of the Brother's shouted, Jefferson came rushing over. "She used it to pay a cab driver, but we didn't get a location."

"Damn it!" Jefferson yelled, slamming his fist down on the table. "How much was the fare?"

"$25.24."

"Ok, so let's say fare is about $5.00 a mile, she is about 5 miles away from the club." Jefferson drew a circle on the map they had hanging up in the kitchen. "Look for all places that she could find a place to stay."

"Got into the camera!" Neal jumped up and limped over to the computer.

"There, look up that license plate." He pointed the screen, staring at the blonde vixen climbing into the cab.

"That company is about five minutes away from here." His guy informed Neal after looking up the company.

"Go, ask the driver where he went then kill him. We don't want Killian's men finding out that information." His men nodded and headed out, Neal smiled and stared at the photo of Emma with lust.

Emma walked through the house, stepping over trash and dead animals. It was clear that this place had been empty for years. She walked into the kitchen and quickly climbed onto the counter, opening a cabinet and pushing on the back wall. It gave way and fell with a loud bang, Emma flinched and stood still, listening for any movements. The house stayed silent, she reached into the hole that was now at the back of the cabinet.

"Gotcha." Emma whispered, pulling out a large bag of money. She opened it and pulled out a roll of hundreds, running her finger over it.

"I knew my mom had to be good for something." She whispered, smiling as she put the money into her purse. She then climbed off the counter and walked out of the house, not looking back at her old childhood home.

"Hey, Jefferson. Come look at this." A Brother waved Jefferson over to him, he walked over and looked at the computer.

"When I was looking at the places that Emma could stay, something stood out. Remember when Killian had us dig into Emma's past?"

"Yeah, he wanted to know everything about Emma."

"Well, her childhood home. It is in this radius, if you calculate the fare, it is exactly $25.24 from the club." Jefferson grinned and patted him on the back.

"Good work, I will take a couple of men to go see if she is still there."

"Alright, according to the manager the cab we want is still out." Graham came back, updating his men. "We will just have to wait till he returns." Suddenly shots were fired and one of the Brothers fell to the floor, bleeding.

"It's Neal's men. They are here for the driver as well." Graham shouted, pulling out his gun to return fire.

Emma walked into a motel office, looking around. It was one of those run down, pay by the hours motels that most people avoided.

"Can I help you?" A man asked, looking up from his magazine.

"One room please." Emma said, throwing down a roll of money. The man's eyes widen at the roll then looked back at her. "You can keep all of the that if you don't ask for my information." Emma explained, smiling as the man grabbed the money and handed her a key.

"Enjoy your stay." He said after pointing out where the room was located.

"Thank you." She said, walking to her room.

"All clear." A Brother shouted from the second floor, Jefferson groaned and looked around.

"Why would she come here, out of all place?" Another Brother asked, looking at all the trash.

"There was something here that she wanted." Jefferson said, looking at the cabinet that hung open. The back wall was missing, which told him that Emma had been here. He reached his hand back and pulled out something. It was a single hundred dollar bill.

"God damn it." He slammed his fist down, making everyone jump.

"What is it?" A Brother asked, getting worried.

"She has cash. She could be anywhere now." He yelled holding up the bill. "We have to find her, for Killian." He said stomping out the door.
