S2: Chapter 10: Live and On Air

Vic pulled himself up from the floor and pulled out his cellphone. He quickly punched in Yvette’s number and waited.

…“Hello…?” Brett asked sounding a little groggy.

“They took them…they took my family.”

…“What? Who took them? What are you talking about…?”

S2: Chapter 09: The Price of Freedom

Vic hung his head heavy as he dragged his equipment into the garage and dropped onto his work bench. He hadn’t slept soundly for a week and now that he knew Yvette was alive, he didn’t expect that to change much. Now the focus would be on resolving the case and finding the person that placed the hit on her.

He was so lost in thought he hadn’t realized his son was standing beside him rambling on about the motorized car Kiara had thrown into the bathtub and ruined. He stopped talking for a minute and stared at his Daddy waiting for an answer to a question that went unheard.

S2: Chapter 08: Bad Streak

“Pin Cushion?” Ryan called stepping into the apartment with a bag full of groceries and a pizza. “Where are you?”

“Hey, Ry!” Stefanie smiled stepping from the back bedroom. Her face beamed brighter as she saw the pie in his hand and immediately relieved him of the load. “I’m starving!”

“I figured. You’re eating me out of house and home,” he laughed remembering the empty cabinets and fridge he was shocked to find the previous night. “Had I known you had a tapeworm, I would have asked it to pay rent before you moved in!”

S2: Chapter 07: La Cosa Nostra

They pulled up to a large mansion sitting atop the hill. “You know the people that live here?”

She shrugged, “I did. There’s no telling what I’d find there now.”

Three armed men walked out to the front and pulled them from the vehicle. “Call it intuition or my sixth sense, but somehow or another I knew I’d see you again, Vette,” a man dressed in black stepped from the ornately adorned doors of the home with a glass of wine in his hand. “Missed me?”

S2: Chapter 06: Decoy

“Where are we going, Uncle?” Tao asked as he slid from the passenger seat of Dustin’s Lancer.

“You’ll see. I told you I’d bring you to my favorite place in the city.”

S2: Chapter 05: Upping the Stakes

“If Yvette isn’t back soon, we’re going looking.” Victor said placing his weapons on the dresser and settling in. “I’ll give her thirty minutes. I don’t like the way this feels for a simple recon mission.”

“Try her line again,” Ryan suggested.

Again Brett dialed the number he was given and again received no answer. “She said it was a burner. Maybe she got rid of it.”

He dropped onto the bed and sighed. “Gabe being wanted like that…the entire town is on the lookout. There’s no telling what happened to her.”

S2: Chapter 04: Inside Man

Brett got home, showered and changed and tossed himself on the couch. He checked his machine for messages before turning on the television to catch the morning news. He smiled thinking about the night he’d spent with Yvette and got lost in the softness of her body. He let his mind wander over having her back and leaned against the cushions of his sofa feeling comfort and a sense of happiness he thought was lost the minute he heard those gunshots.

“No…no, no, no, no, NO!” Brett yelled. “FUCK!” The room fell silent. The intercom started again and they could hear the sounds of the fire as the flames flickered and ran throughout the location consuming the evidence and everything else in its wake.

S2: Chapter 01: Manhunt

Harrison stood and walked towards the screen near the back wall. “She has a known intimate relationship with this man,” he said bringing up an image on the screen. “Gabriel Tasker, a Field Operations Director for the Agency. Since removing her tracer, he too has come up missing. Now there isn’t any information proving that he is involved, but he is a person of interest in this matter.”
