Chapter 26
Jaxon
Once we pull up to Franklin’s house, we all get out and make our way inside. Franklin pours each of us a glass of scotch, and we get to work.
I know there is some sort of link between her school and her attacker, I just don’t know what it is. Or maybe there’s not, and I’m overlooking something so obvious because I’m too focused on it. I’m beyond frustrated. Not having Melody in my arms is an agony I wouldn’t wish on anyone. I miss her so much.
Franklin gives each of us the same documents so we can all review them in case anything was missed.
“Franklin, did you ever look into her graduating class to see if there was any connection when Jaxon asked you before,” James asks.
“I did, yeah. I couldn’t find any correlation between her and the attacker,” Franklin replies, looking up from the file he holds.
The three of us grow more and more frustrated as the night wears on. I hate to even think what Melody is being put through. I refuse to even think that he’s killed her. He wouldn’t go through all this trouble just to get rid of her right away. No, he’s about as obsessed with her as I am, but he definitely has me beat on the psycho scale.
We’ve all agreed we won’t be going to the cops if we discover who this is and where he’s holding her. James has connections to the Bonetti family who runs the Italian mafia along the west coast. He’ll be calling in some favors for how we plan on handling this guy. I can’t wait to get my hands on him. He’s going to wish he was never born by the time we are done with him.
