Motor City
Piers POV
"Damn it!" I shout as I through my phone across the room. I felt like I was punched in the stomach and kicked to the curb. My mind could process what was happening…this made no sense. How could I be so stupid, how could I not see this coming?
"You just got off the phone with HQ?" Abby cautiously walked around the broken pieces of the phone as she makes her way over to me.
"Yeah." I groan, my head hit the table with a loud thud. My hands brush back and fourth through my spikey hair. It wasn't long until I felt a third hand.
"So what did they say?"
I sigh deeply as I try to relax. My anger ceases when I feel the engagement ring on Abby's left ring finger. "They found his hospital room empty this morning. HQ reported it just now, details aren't in full yet." I slowly pull my head up while crossing my arms on the island in the kitchen. "Is there anyway you can get with Intel to clear this up?"
Her eyes widen and her lips curl brightly when I ask her this. It was almost as if she had secretly been beginning me to ask her this. Then again, she always is excited to be doing….pretty much anything. Just one of the many things that I love about her. "I'm sure that someone must have posted something by now." My head had only turned for a second when I heard then heard my fiancé furiously typing on her phone and laptop; I forgot that she can multitask. "Says here that he was found missing about 6 hours ago." Abby announced as she slid the computer close to me while she pushed up her glasses.
"6 hours?" I repeat in disbelief, but I look over the report carefully to see that Abby was in fact right. "Why the hell did HQ wait this long to tell me?"
Abby shrugs with a curious look. "Don't know." She continues to scroll down the page until she reaches the bottom. "Intel said that he took out his security detail like they were punks off the streets."
"Injuries?"
" Many." Abby replies pulling up another page. "I'm checking the medical reports for the three security officers." She taps three keys on the desktop to pull up another file. "Looks like all three just received bruises and slight concussions, nothing major."
"I should get down to HQ. They may want me to start up a search party."
"Yeah, I'll come with. I'll check on those agents. I can call someone in Intel to book us a flight."
"Could you do that is an hour?" I ask tiredly as I move closer to her.
"Why?" She asks curiously, her eyes fixed on me as I wrap my arms around her waist. She smiles sweetly when my lips move to her neck. "You're doing this now?" She asked looking shocked.
"I'm going to be deployed on a mission to find Chris. I don't know how long that will take, and I don't know how long I'll be gone or when I'll see you again. And that is freaking me out so yeah I'm doing this now."
Abby's smile widens as I lift her up. "I can get us a plane in an hour."
I was so happy to hear her say that. "You're the best, Abbs"
