Heather was still in the manager's office, grappling with the shocking information she had just received. Lily Tatiana Thorne, Caius's sister, a woman Heather had never known existed, had kidnapped Alex and Asher. Denial clouded her thoughts as she tried to piece together the truth. Before she could process it all, her phone began ringing.
"I need to take this," she mumbled to Marcus, stepping outside to answer the call. The captain's voice came through.
"Asher was found a few hours ago. He's safe," he said. "But there's no word on Alex yet. The kidnapper didn't leave any lead, but we tried tracing the plate number to another state, and we found a match. The investigation is ongoing, we're still working on it. Don't worry, we won't stop until he's found."
