Cell signals in these parts were spotty at best.
We were communicating with Massimo via satellite phones, and he managed to send us the coordinates to locate the houses.
It wasn’t easy.
And it was taking too long.
I stood up and looked out at the expansive area in front of me, trying to think about anything else but what Isa might have gone through.
Was my girl eating properly?
Was she hurt?
I closed my eyes. I knew she was hurt. I saw the fucking video from Valentino’s apartment.
I had watched it over and over again, trying to find any clues. All I ended up doing was torturing myself with the image of Isa being thrown against the dresser. Of those fuckers beating on her.
Of Thompson knocking her out cold and carrying her out of there, taking her away from me.
Valentino came up and stood beside me. “We’re going to find her.”
I nodded because that was all I could manage.
We were going to find her, but what kind of state would we find her in?
The satellite phone hanging by my side rang, and I picked up.
“Elio, we got her. We know where she is.”
My heart hammered from his words. Romeo heard and came up to us.
“Where?” I asked.
“I’ll give you the coordinates. Write them down. I don’t think it’s far away from the last house you ransacked.”
Romeo nodded as he wrote down the coordinates, checking them on the map.
“How did you get this?” Valentino asked.
“She sent it to us. From Walter Thompson’s phone.”
I shared a look of surprise with Valentino. How did she manage to get her hands on that?
“She sent it to Tommaso’s phone.”
Fucking hell.
We got her.
“Okay, thank you. We’re going to get her now.”
“Alright. Just… be careful. All of you, okay?” Massimo said, and it wasn’t hard to hear the worry in his tone.
I clicked the phone off and looked at Romeo. He rechecked the map. “We’re about six miles away. The car will bring us pretty close, but there will be some hiking.”
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go,” I said, heading out to the Jeep.
I was going to bring my girl home, no matter what.
