“He does have a little sister he loves more than life itself.” A sister he loves more than life itself. My words echo in my mind. “Oh, God, Maddox, what if he took Tobias’s sister? What if he hid her away? Buried her under the ground?”

He hangs up and paces some more.

“Now what?” I wring my hands.

“We wait.”
