Chapter 316

RYAN CRADLED HIS HEAD in his hands. The sounds of snoring and keystrokes mixed together. After hours without sleep it was difficult to feel completely human.

He hadn't seen Carson in going on seven hours.

At seventeen minutes after eleven, she'd crawled down into a small craft.

Ten minutes after that they'd lost both of the back-up trackers.

The closest thing to a lead they had was that they hadn't been able to find any evidence that the small boat had gone ashore, which meant the boat was most likely still in the water or they'd traveled farther than they could locate using the drones and what security cameras they could access without Zain's magic touch.

If they didn't get a lead on Carson in the next five hours, the chances of her coming back alive diminished greatly. Kidnappings like this were different from Aegis Group's normal gig, even the teams. While they specialized in bringing people home, it wasn't usually a situation that was already headed for execution.
