159) Loving Goodbyes

"Vlad, is everything alright?" I spoke into the phone as I paced back and forth in the living room. 

"No. During our stakeout at Aces place we noticed there had been no movement for a number of hours. It was strange. There's only three exits for the whole house and we were watching every single one of them. I ordered a search and when we went in the house it was completely empty. We searched the whole house and in his bedroom there was a hidden door. From there we found a tunnel. It was not in the city plans," Vlad; despite his best efforts at keeping his composure, he sounded incredibly stressed. 

"What does that mean for Vasili?" I sat down on one of the couches and ran my hand down my face. 

"We have no idea where Ace is. I'm not going to lie to you about that. James allowed me to bring a team over to Los Angeles and I spoke to John to get a few extra hands. My team is already here," he sighed.
