Title: Finally
Chapter: Six
Author: Icess
They sat in a musky smelling office of the police department. Already, they had been there two hours and the police still hadn't sent out an officer to search for Conor. Serena was drained, leaning against Darien for support. Darien held Serena all the while, his temper igniting even more when the police refused to question Andrew. Whom Darien thought had taken the boy.
"Come on already, this is a three year old boy we're talking about! His mother is worried sick about him. It's not like he can just steal a car and drive away. Someone took him! Now, get someone out there to search for him. After you do that, let me talk to your supervisor." Darien demanded of the rather young looking officer.
Officer Kingsley visibly blanched and cleared his throat. "I'll send a cruiser out right away." He said. "As to you speaking to my superior, he's not here… he's on his vacation…" He trailed off, seeing Darien's face turn as red as a tomato.
Darien stood up and slammed his hands onto the dusty desk. "Fine, if you'll find his card for me, I'll call him as soon as he gets OFF his vacation." He smiled sweetly and helped Serena from her chair. "As soon as you find anything, and I mean anything, out. Call me. You have my phone number."
When they were outside in the fresh night air, Serena asked Darien if he really thought that Andrew had taken Conor. "Of course he took him. I went to talk to him after you and Conor fell asleep, obviously he's curious to come see him. It was a chicken shit way to do it though."
Andrew was thinking the very same thing. He could have just petitioned the court for visitation rights. But no, he had to be a drunk, unthinking ass and kidnap his son. His son. Those two words brought a slow smile to his grim face. Although Conor wouldn't speak to him, he reveled in the feeling of being in the same room with him. He knew that he should call Serena and let her know that Conor was okay. But, he couldn't bring himself to do it just yet he needed more time. Just how much, he wasn't sure of.
Did Serena ever just sit and watch Conor sleep? He slept peacefully, a tiny smile on his lips. 'I guess that I'd better call Darien… send Conor back.' He thought. The sooner that this whole 'kidnapping escapade' ends, the sooner he would be able to spend quality time with Conor. Then, the sooner that he would be able to see Serena again…
Darien was dreaming. The telephone was ringing… why didn't his wife just go and answer it? In his dream, he called her name. 'Serena! Get the phone please?'
He bolted awake then. The phone really was ringing. His cell phone actually. He grabbed it from the coffee table next to the sofa he was dozing on. "Hello." He said gruffly.
"Darien." A whispered voice said. "I'm gonna bring Conor back."
"Drew? What the hell were you thinking, man!" Darien exploded.
"Shh, I'm trying not to wake him up." Darien rolled his eyes and ran his hands through his hair.
"Have the cops come by your place at all?" He asked calmly.
"No, why?"
"Serena went to the cops Andrew." He heard Andrew swear.
"Well? What the hell was she supposed to do? Her kid went missing and she's not supposed to call the cops? I don't think so. Ok, you need to bring him back right now. I mean it, he better be here within ten minutes or I will call the police and have them waiting for you."
"Ok, ok. I'll bring him right now." Andrew said shakily and hung up.
Andrew bent to pick Conor up. The boy murmured something but Andrew couldn't tell what he was saying. "Come on buddy. We're going to see your mom." Andrew rubbed Conor's back soothingly and walked out the door of his beach house and slid his son into the leather seat of his car. When he was sure that Conor was buckled up, he pulled out of the driveway and headed back towards the hotel Serena was staying.
Darien was waiting outside, looking at his watch impatiently. The second that Andrew pulled up, Darien yanked open the door and gently lifted Conor into his arms. Conor opened his eyes sleepily, "Darien?"
"Hey buddy, let's go see your mom." Conor nodded and laid his head back against Darien's shoulder. Darien paid no attention to Andrew and went straight to the room. Serena was sitting on the sofa, looking desolate. When Darien walked in with Conor in his arms, she jumped up and took him from Darien. The man that she saw walk in behind him made her go pale and head towards the bedroom very fast.
"Well, so much for a nice reunion." Andrew laughed. Darien just glared and him and plopped down onto the couch.
"Have a seat Andrew. We're gonna talk to Serena once she comes back out." Darien said and motioned to the recliner chair. Once Andrew made himself comfortable, Serena came back out and said tightly, "Hello Andrew."
