CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

“What did you find?” Kevin asked urgently as Harsen and Muir stormed into the police office.

Harsen ignored him and grabbed a phone. He dialled a number quickly. “I need a team to go to”

“WHAT IS GOING ON?” Kevin shouted “Where is my cousin!”

“What did you find at Pete’s?” Nick asked. “Is Brian okay?”

“Unless you let me do my job,” Harsen snapped. “He probably won’t be! Pete is very angry with him!”

Kevin backed away in shock. Harsen turned back to the phone and began giving instructions to the person on the other end.

“I knew it!” Nick sobbed. “Pete’s going to kill Brian!”

“Shut up, Nick!” AJ said, tears in his eyes and pure panic in his voice.

Harsen put the phone on and went to leave, Kevin grabbed his arm. “What are you gonna do now?”

“I’ve got another address. I’m going to try and help get your cousin and Sammy back!”

“We’re coming,” Kevin said.

“No you’re not!”

“Kevin, let them do their job!” Howie said.

Harsen shrugged Kevin away and stormed out of the building. The others rounded on Howie.

“What did you do that for, D?” AJ said.

“We could’ve made him take us with him!” Nick snapped.

“Weren’t you guys listening to Harsen on the phone?” Howie asked calmly.

“Huh?” Kevin said.

“He called a different state and told the police to go to an address. I’m assuming that’s where he’s heading and that’s where he thinks Brian and Sammy are.”

“You were eavesdropping?!” AJ said.

“Of course! I have learned some things from you over the past few years, AJ!” Howie said, grinning. “C’mon guys! We’ve gotta get a plane!”
