“Stop, please. She is at my house. I have an outhouse. She’s in there,” he gasped out.
Cyrus grabbed his hair and began to drag him towards the staircase. I’d already opened the trapdoor for him so he flung the Senator down the wooden stairs before he closed the door and locked it.
“Angel, check the security in his house. We will go find the girl. You stay here to call us and let us know of any issues,” Cyrus said.
When I opened my mouth to speak, he shut me down.
“This is not a fucking negotiation. I will not risk anything happening to you or our child. For all we know, it’s a trap,” he snapped at me.
I glanced at my Dad for support. He shrugged his shoulders.
“I would do the same with your mother.”
I think I preferred it when they hated each other.
Chapter 44
Cyrus
I drove in silence, but I felt cold and dead inside. It was a familiar sensation that used to comfort me before my Angel came into my life. Emilia had called us with the property access details but it was the trepidation of what I would find in that outhouse.
Would the girl be there? Was she dead or alive? If she is alive, will her eyes be as dead as my sister’s were? Will she kill herself like my sister did, or could I save an innocent soul?
“Hey, are you okay?” Alejandro asked.
I nodded curtly but kept my eyes on the road.
Since Andrew Moorcroft had divorced from his wife a couple of years ago. He must have been keeping children on the property.
“You take care of Moorcroft, and I will deal with Boyd. My parents are going to work through some of the others,” he said.
My head snapped towards him, but I almost swerved the car off the road. I kept my eyes on the road and steadied the car.
“They must be in their seventies,” I exclaimed in shock.
“My Dad’s eighty-five, and my Mum is seventy-eight, but between the two of them, they will be fine. My Mum lives for this kind of shit. She is probably sharpening her knives as we speak.”
“But—”
“My Dad trains every day, and my Mum teaches yoga. Trust me, they are more than capable.”
I smiled as I thought of my biomedical company. I might be able to extend their lives. My smile waned as we approached the house. The street was dark and deserted. I parked towards the back of the house where Emilia had indicated. She had shut down the high-tech security around the perimeter of his property.
I spotted a tree close to the high wall and got out of the car. We had changed our clothes before we left. Emilia hadn't sulked at being left behind. I’d never used that tone of voice with her before, but she didn't seem upset when I kissed her before I left.
“Fuck,” I murmured as I realised why she had been so amiable.
“What is it?” Alejandro said, looking around.
“Emilia is going to fuck Moorcroft up while we are here.”
He grinned like a proud Papa bear. “Damn right, she is.”
I rubbed a hand over my face before I grabbed my tool bag from the back seat of the car. Once I’d slipped it across my body I began to climb up the tree with Alejandro following behind me. I stood up on the branch closest to his wall and began to walk towards the wall. We needed to be discreet, but if we found the girl, I could disable the main gate control pad to exit with ease.
I jumped over the wall and began to walk towards the outbuilding. I heard Alejandro jump down with a dull thud behind me, but my focus remained on the small white building.
When I found the door, it had an ancient-looking lock pad on it. I didn't know people still used these, everything was electronic now, but I guess the prick hadn't wanted anything traced by a security company. I opened up my tool bag and started up the small electric saw. The lock came away in seconds, and I put it in my bag to pull my flashlight out.
