“Two days, apparently. Though he just sent the message today.”
“God damn it.”
The driver pulled up in front of a building wrapped in blue and white tile. Getting out, we hurried into it and went straight to Allan’s room. I sat on the bed and called Patrick. He picked up on the first ring.
“Is she with you?” he asked anxiously.
“No, I’m in Portugal on business. Tell me everything you know.”
“She was supposed to stay in the house after everything that transpired with Donovan and Cormac at the pub. We were there on Wednesday, and when we got home, she was gone. Her car was still in the garage but not her purse or phone. I checked with her friends, but no one has seen her. Donovan and Cormac have disappeared too. I was hoping she was with you.”
“Have you checked her phone?”
“It’s turned off.”
“Fuck. And you’ve gone to Sullivan’s house.”
“It’s empty.”
“Cars?”
“They were both gone too.”
I turned to Alan. “Check the airports for any flights with their names and the harbor master too. They could have rented a boat.”
“Aye.”
“Do you think they have her?” Patrick asked.
“Yes,” I said a bit harshly.
“Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. This is all my fault.”
“Your self-pity won’t help us at the moment.” I stood up and walked to the window. The sun was sinking low on the horizon. It would be dark soon. And God help me, if that motherfucker touched one hair on her head, I would kill him.
“I’ve got something,” Alan said. “Donovan chartered a plane out of LAX yesterday headed to Belfast.”
“They’re going to Ireland,” I said to Patrick.
“I’ll get on the next flight.”
“It’s better if you leave this to me,” I snapped.
“She’s my fucking sister. It’s my fault she is in this situation.”
“Wait,” Alan stopped me. “The plane changed its destination mid-flight. They landed in Lerwick.”
“Lerwick?” I sat down and rubbed the bridge of my nose. “He’s taking her to Dorcha. Bloody hell. Aidan is there.”
“Where’s Dorcha?” Patrick asked, confused.
“It’s my island. In the Shetlands. Patrick, you need to leave this to me.”
“No, you’ve caused enough damage,” he said.
“Aye, well, so have you.” I stopped myself. I didn’t need to get into a pissing match with her brother. “I will go get her and bring her back.”
“Why would I trust you?”
