Chapter 411: Wednesday. Mlilo Animal Reserve, South Africa.

PAXTON KNOCKED ON Coco's door again, but there was still no answer. She hadn't responded to his texts or answered her phone. No one had seen her.

He didn't like this.

She should have never gone with them. She was already an easily identified target. What if someone followed them? Or what if there was another person working here that informed the poachers?

His gut clenched at the idea Coco could be out there fighting for her life and he was here, searching for her in places she'd never be found.

He pulled out his phone again.

No reply. No missed calls.

It was time to phone a friend.
