I barely hang up the phone before I’m back pacing in the office aga hating; the feeling of being out of control in any situation let alone one involving Sofiat

The thought of him worming his way back in to her life behind my back makes my stomach churn, my fists clenching so hard that my nails begin to bite into my palms.
I can’t believe I didn’t know about him sooner, when Daryl had heen the one to show him around at school and Emma also knew that he was here…
I was slightly annoyed that Emma also h deliberate mistake on her part.
hadn’t told me about this crucial information sooner, but I also knew that it wasn’t

I was just extremely on edge with the whole thing and this addition to the story didn’t help me in the slightest.
Sofia had been carrying this weight, hiding it from me, while I was too wrapped up in my nwn guilt dealing with her father and his demands behind her back.
She didn’t think she could approach me to tell me about this, because I foolishly gave her that impression, and that was what hurt
Fuck!
Emma’s worried sobs fill the room, and Reid’s quiet words of comfort try to calm her down, but I can’t focus on them right now.
My mind is already ten steps ahead, trying to figure out my next move in a variety of different scenarios.
Daryl’s going to try and sneak into the school, but it’s the weekend, and who knows if he’ll even get anything useful – so what then?!

Time was slipping away… and I
I barely knew two things about this guy, let alone where in town to find him. It would be a waste of time to roam the streets hoping for him to just show up!
We needed his address, and we needed it before it is too late.
“Ok, what have I missed now? I turn to find my father entering the oom, having not even heard the door due to my hammering thoughts acting as a distraction
“We think it’s her ex–boyfriend who has her, the guy from the footage, Daryl is going to the school to see if he can get his file for an address.” I explain, praying with each second going by that he would call me back with something useful.
My father’s brows knit together, as he watches me carefully, seeming to go down a new thought process after hearing my update….
“Did you consider that maybe the girl plans on getting back with him now? I mean, they clearly have a past connection already Vincent and for all we know, she called him to come pick her up? I wouldn’t waste your time looking for her if she doesn’t actually want to be found son…” He begins to rabble a whole lot of bullshit, the anger spikes from within me.

I nod at her prouch, silently agreeing with her statement, as my father only sighs – not understanding the weight of our relationships to Sofia.
To him, Sofia was just a stupid girl from school that I had a crush on, but
she was much more than that
I had never frit this way about anyone in my life
My father irritated me when he would make comments like this as for a man who forced me to grow up way ahead of my years, he till viewed me as an idiotic child at the best of times… giving me relationship advice when i handle a whole lot worse for him on the daily? Save it!
You would assume that after everything I had done for him and his business throughout my life, involving myself in his shitty crimes since the mere age of fourteen, that be would have some respect for my choices by now.

As the shock dies out, he only smiggers, shaking his head and holding up his hands. “Alright, alright, fine I hear you… you’ll find her soon enough so stop stressing out so much. I was trying to help.” He laughs, attempting to bring humour to the table as I just stare through him – unamused.
Before the conversation can progress any further, my phone begins ring, as I practically lunge at it seeing Daryl’s name flash up
on the screen.

I had refused to even speak to him only hours ago but right now I needed his help with getting Sofia back – that was priority.
Daryl Did you get in I question, as the room around me falls silent, the three of them perking up to know what would happen
“The janitor almost didn’t let me in so I had to wait for five for him to disappear before rushing in to the office… every cabinet was locked but I eventually found a sticky note with the office lady’s computer log in to get on to the system.” Daryl begins his story, 25 1 clench my teeth at the long winded response.
“Right, well?!” I hurry him on, moving swiftly to grab a notepad and pen expecting him to recite an address.
“Was worried at first because I couldn’t find him on the system and thought that it was maybe because he was new and they hadn’t added him on yet: Daryl continues, as I suddenly slam a hand down on the desk causing Emma to almost fall out of her skin with fright.
“DARYL DID YOU FIND HIS ADDRESS OR NOT? TELL ME IT?!” I rage, my patience wearing thin.
“Fucking hell Vin, I’m getting to it! I found him on the system, registered previously to an address in California, but when I clicked through his notes I found something saying pending paperwork with a listing for residency at Sunburst lane but the only thing is, it didn’t haw a specific number.” He concludes, as I scribble down Sunburst and drop the pen down on the desk.
Great, it’s a start!
thanks for th
that. I still don’t
“Great,
1 head over there now, make a start on asking around until you get here.” Daryl offers, as I nod and motion for Reid to follow me
forgive you though.” I state bluntly down the line, as Daryl laughs dryly at my comment,
“Yeah just look out for a silver lag parked in the area, I won’t be long I state, before saying a brief goodbye and hanging up.
I finally felt for the first time in hours that we had hope of getting ber back….
This had been all my fault, and I had to make things right with
