Ben Blue:
"No, you don't understand! I remember Tory telling about this guy! I mean it was only just a mention if him but he worth looking into him! Just check around and see if this guy has any property and I would check his bank account." I said through my teeth, almost yelling.
"Don't tell me how to do my job, Mr. Blue. But I will check the property, but as far as the bank accounts go, i don't think I'll find anything. After Telliken was arrested for investment fraud, all of his accounts were frozen and when he was released they didn't unfreeze them. And Tory was the reason he lost everything, and that would be his motive." Detective Castle was calm and understanding.
"So, you can't trace this guy?" I said through my teeth. The two idiots grew a pained look on their faces.
"Not necessarily, if he purchased any land around here we would still have it in his file. But I still have to go through some channels," he said.
"Just hurry," I said desperation filling my voice. "please? She means a lot to m- I mean us," I felt my face go hot.
"I will try, Mr. Blue." He hung up after that.
When I pulled the phone from my ear, Hi and Shelton were staring at me. "what?" I stared at them.
"Nothing," Hi said as he turned around heading for the door of the Bunker. He put on a mocking voice, "'she means a lot to m-, I mean, us,'" he laughed.
I pushed him aside as I walked past him, "If you ever tell Tory, I will murder you. Do you understand?" I said angrily without looking at him.
Hiram didn't reply so Shelton did. "He understands," he said meekly.
I ran to Sewee and the two clowns were right on my tail. Cooper did a running jump into the boat and sat next to me at the helm.
The boat glided over the water. We reached my father slip for his boat and Hi was on the phone with a taxi. The taxi pulled up five minutes later. We jumped in as fast as we could and told the cabbie to gun it. Ha gave us a wry smile. As we sped down the road, my phone rang and it was Detective Castle.
"Hello?" I said, hoping for his friendly voice telling me that they already found her, and she was sitting in the police station licking a lollipop, but that wasn't the case.
His voice was gruff and rushed. "157 Bigarde St. Be there in 20." The called dropped.
When we reached the abandoned warehouse we handed the money to the driver and took off. The warehouse was a brick building, ivy clung to the walls and all the windows were covered in newly installed rawer-iron bars.
Anger boiled inside and threatened to spill over but had to control myself.
Kit, my father, Mr. and Mrs. Stolowisostki and Mr. and Mrs. Devers was somehow already standing outside the police tape. Completely ignoring them, I ran straight to Detective Castle. "You need to let me in there," I said urgently. The two clowns were being called to their mothers' sides and didn't have much of an option but to go.
"No! Are you crazy? A civilian?" Castle laughed.
"I gave you this lead. You're going to let me in, or Tory isn't going to trust you!" I snarled. "believe me, tory doesn't trust easily and she need a… familiar face to keep her calm and quiet if we need it," I was beginning to beg, but I had no other option. "Either you're letting me go with your protection or i go in there by myself. Which would you prefer? Two bodies or none?"
By way of answer, he tossed a bulletproof vest and a helmet at me.
