Alissa shook her head. “Jessica has had this whole thing planned out. She has to be working with him.”
“Why would she do that?” I leaned forward, needing to understand her thinking process.
“Maybe Chris payed her off.” She shrugged.
“We don’t even know if Chris is involved,” I said trying my hardest to think of something.
Alissa leaned forward. “Let’s just assume he is. Where would he have taken her?”
I shrugged. “No fucking clue. The last time, he didn’t try taking her anywhere, he just tried killing her.”
“What has been the one thing that Chris has wanted this whole time?” Her blue eyes locked on mine. It was like we were feeding off of each other.
“His life,” I answered.
“Exactly. He has his fancy apartment, his fans, I’m sure after he buys his way out of trouble, the movie rolls will pick up again. The one thing he doesn’t have, and would never have if you two went through with the wedding, is Lennox. He took her back to California.”
I stood. “I’m going to California.” I started for the door.
“I’m coming too,” Dane said standing up and following after me.
“Wait a minute.” Alissa stood, looking at the two of us. “Neither of you even know where Chris’ apartment is. I’m coming too.”
Dane stopped her. “It’s too dangerous.”
“I don’t care. Lennox is my best friend, you need my help.”
“We can do it ourselves,” he tried.
“You won’t make it past the door man,” Alissa raised her voice. She crossed her arms over her chest, standing her ground.
I took the two steps to be at their side. “Maybe she’s right, Dane. She can always get us into the apartment and wait in the lobby.”
He took a long breath. “Fine. I don’t know why you have to be so stubborn.”
I grabbed Lennox’s keys off the table and tossed them to Trent. “Take Lennox’s Jeep and get yourselves back home. We can take Dane’s car.”
Everybody moved into action. Dane, Alissa, and I headed for the parking lot.
We drove to the nearest airport and bought three one way tickets to L.A.
I was a nervous wreck waiting for the plane to board. I called Trent and made him promise to go by my house, the shop, or anywhere Lennox may have gone. He promised he would when he got home.
While Alissa and I sat around waiting for our flight. Dane was going stir crazy and walking around. He never was good at waiting and he was always on edge, so when something happens that he feels like he can’t control, he goes a little nuts.
He rushed back to our sides with someone in tow. “You guys have to hear this.”
I looked at the man who was dressed in a blue jumpsuit with a neon orange vest and a pair of noise reducing headphones around his neck.
“What are you doing, Dane?”
“Just listen. Go ahead and tell them,” he told the man.
He looked around before leaning in, “I seen the girl in the picture.”
My eyes flashed to Dane. His eyes were wide as he nodded.
“When? Who was with her?”
