The night was not restful but Laura Rowles knew that things were bad when her phone rang and she saw that the clock indicated that it wasn’t even four am. “Hello?”
“The Angel gave us a delivery,” the Chief spoke and Laura sat up in bed. She rubbed her eyes while instantly finding energy. “The Angel has never been in our city.”
“We weren’t the only city that had a visit from the Angel either,” the Chief replied. “But this one will protect Lisa.”
Laura jerked her head slightly and rolled her shoulders. “Really?”
“Just let them go, Laura,” the Chief suggested and Laura stood up. “I got to at least tell them… I now that they have an early flight this morning…”
“Let them be,” the Chief directed again and Laura stood there. “Isn’t it odd that the Angel took care of this? Are we sure that whatever the Angel did is enough to link…”
“The evidence was on the computer,” the Chief answered and Laura shook her head. “It’s too nice and neat… and someone from Special Forces could have done that.”
“Lisa wasn’t talking, Laura,” the Chief pointed out. “This is a blessing for all parties involved… and we both know that your two Special Forces personnel couldn’t have been on Boston last night. Boston, Laura.”
“Copycat.”
“The card was at both locations,” the Chief revealed and Laura sat down. She rubbed her face. “This is too neat.”
“And sometimes that’s what we need in our lives, Detective,” the Chief declared and the hung up. Laura stared at the phone and exhaled. She didn’t like this and she worried that this was just a setup to flush out Lisa. She pulled out her gun from the safe that she had in the hotel room with her and stepped out. She nodded her head to the other officers, whom did not know that the Angel made everything right in the world and she walked towards them. “Quiet night?”
“They talked for a couple hours… about finding jobs…” the officer reported. Laura nodded her head and looked towards the room. “Are they switching the duties of watching?”
“Should be Renee right now,” The officer answered and Laura shoved her hands into her pocket. She was thinking of calling but if Lisa was asleep, she would wake up. Laura exhaled. “They aren’t even married yet… and they are going to raise Lisa?”
“They aren’t young,” the officer pointed out. Laura nodded her head as she pondered that thought, finding it odd that they had just gotten engaged. It sounded like they knew each other for many years. She walked down the floor and knocked at the door quietly. “Renee… It’s Detective Rowles… I have good news.”
There was no response. Laura looked back to the officer and he shrugged his shoulders. Laura looked towards the window as the officer headed closer to the room. “I don’t hear anything.”
Before the officer could comment that maybe they all fell asleep, Laura pulled out the key that she had been given. She tried it and it didn’t work. She knocked at the door again, this time louder. “Renee… It’s Detective Rowles… let me in.”
There was no response and Laura didn’t wait. She stepped back and kicked the door back with all of her body. It gave way too easily and she was in the dark room and knew.
They were gone.
Laura turned on the light and found absolutely nothing in the room but a tape recorder. She turned around and looked at the officer. “How did they disappear?”
“I… I… I watched… no one has been even on this floor…” the officer looked around in disbelief. “And they were talking.”
Laura rewound the tape recorder and pressed play to hear Renee laughing about maybe she could get a dull and boring job since she has been having an exciting enough life. Laura tossed the recorded onto the bed and pulled out her phone. She started to call for crime scene techs and the officer pulled at her arm. “We have all exits recording… I even set up the extra camera that is focused on just this door… no one came in or out of this room!”
“People, especially with a teenage girl, don’t just disappear; Laura stepped out of the room and pulled the officer with her. She started to issue Megan Alerts and she went to the railing to find that the car that was driven here was still in the parking lot. She turned and pierced a glare at the officer. “Not another soul gets into that room until crime scene gets here.”
It was almost ninety minutes later when Chief Snowden yanked Detective Rowles around. “What are you doing?”
“I’m looking for my witness… and the so-called aunt she had… and try to find out how three people vanish into thin air,” Laura growled as she rubbed her head. “They didn’t leave thru the front door… and they were there…”
“Leave it be, Detective.”
“How?” Laura questioned as she shook her head back and forth. “Lisa might with be someone who is going to do her harm.”
“Trust me, she is going to be fine,” Chief Snowden tilted his head to the side and shook his head. “I need these resources at Martin DeRossi’s house… there is real things going on there because of the Angel.”
“And you don’t think that these things are connected?”
“You are the only one who is making that connection.”
“That doesn’t mean that I’m wrong.”
“But it doesn’t make it right to keep looking for them. This is probably the right thing for them to do, Detective,” the Chief’s voice was low and intense. She frowned and shook her head as a shout come out from the room. Ignoring the Chief, she ran up the stairs and into the room.
There was a crime scene tech that had pulled the carpet up and pointed carefully to the floor. “Looks like they cut the floor below.”
“Someone got to them from below?” Detective Rowles snapped a picture on her phone and the technician shook his head. “This was made from this room down. They wanted to go down.”
“Open it up,” Laura directed as the Chief cleared his throat from the door. “Don’t do this to yourself Detective.”
“Just because they were national heroes doesn’t mean that they get to disappear on my watch,” Detective Rowles announced as she watched the work started in the room, not knowing where it was actually going to lead her.
