CHAPTER

31

Archer

Sitting in Dalton’soffice, finalizing all the paperwork on the partnership agreement with Riker, my phone buzzed with a call. "Jennings here."

"Hey Archer, it’s Gage."

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, I think so. I just wanted to check out an acquaintance of yours that's in the café talking to Sloane right now. Says he knows you."

"What's his name?"

"Logan."

"Yeah, I know him. Why is he talking to Sloane, though?"

"Sloane said that he was looking for a friend of hers. A Janessa?"

"Oh, okay, yeah, he's a decent enough dude, but I don't want him around Sloane by himself. He's made it more than clear to me a couple of times that he finds her attractive, so go back inside and wait for her to leave."

"You got it." Hanging up, I directed my attention back to the contracts and scanned through the last two documents when my phone buzzed again. Seeing it was Gage again, a spike of panic reared its ugly head inside of me. "What's wrong?"

"She's gone, Archer."

"The fuck you mean she's gone?" I snapped back, standing to my feet with my phone in a death grip.

"I mean gone. Her and that Logan guy are both missing."

Running my hands over my face, I tried to calm the fear that something bad had happened to her. "Then you find her! Search every alley way and building in the area, I'm on my way." Turning to bolt out of Dalton’s office, I heard chairs moving and footsteps following behind me.

Turning around, I saw all three of them lined up and ready to go. "You know we're with you man, let's go make sure Sloane’s okay," Dalton said, patting me on the back as we headed out the door.

Getting into the car, Slade drove as I made a call to Gage to check for an update. "Masters here."

"Anything yet?"

"No. It's like she's disappeared into thin air."

"Shit!" I shouted out, pounding on the dash.

“I'm so sorry, man.”
