Davit
“Amethyst? Where are you?”
I couldn’t believe it was her, but I felt so much relief I thought I might faint from it.
“I don’t know. Let me…”
“Amethyst! Amethyst!” I said when her voice went quiet, and I assumed she moved away from the phone.
“Sorry,” she said, “I had to look at this phone. I have coordinates.”
“Give them to me,” I said.
I jotted the coordinates down, then asked the question that I had been avoiding.
“Crystal?”
“I have her,” Amethyst said, her voice almost cracking over the words.
I felt my eyes began to tear, but I quickly pushed back the emotion.
They weren’t out of danger yet.
“Are you alone?”
“Yes. Davit, please hurry,” she said.
At the plea in her voice, I ignored the litany of questions that I had, deciding to save them until I knew she was safe.
“I’ll be there soon,” I said.
Elias was standing next to me, and when I hung up the phone, he was ready to go.
“We have teams waiting,” he said.
I didn’t respond and headed toward the door. Stopped when he followed.
“You need to stay here,” I said.
“Why?”
“I don’t know what I’m walking into.”
“You think they’re bait?” he asked.
“It would be a smart angle. I don’t want to put both of us at risk,” I said.
He nodded his understanding. “Call me immediately with updates,” he said.
I didn’t linger and went to the car, everything inside of me screaming to find them.
To bring my family back where they belonged.
The coordinates were near the border, a little more than three hours away from the safe house.
I’d wanted to take a helicopter but knew that would draw more attention than we could afford. But each rotation of the tires, each second that ticked by, felt like an eternity.
