Chapter 308 - Without Waiting (1)
Greg’s knuckles whitened around the phone as Cammy’s voice rang out, sharp and trembling.
"What do you mean my son is missing?!" Cammy’s cry echoed through the parking lot.
On speaker, Grace’s voice cracked. [C-Cammy...]
Greg cut in, his tone tight and controlled. "You’re on speaker, Grace. Where exactly are you?"
Grace’s words spilled in a frantic rush. [We’re at Dalton Airport. Our connecting flight got canceled last night, but we were offered an earlier direct flight this morning. I didn’t want to bother you that late, so I took it.
Dylan—he wanted to surprise you. Said he wanted to buy something special for you with his savings. So I agreed.
We were eating while waiting when someone bumped our table, spilled sauce all over my dress. I told Dylan to stay put, just for a minute. I went to the restroom, literally two steps away, and when I came back, he was gone. Just gone! No one saw where he went, no one noticed anything strange!]
Cammy clutched her chest, her breathing ragged. Her vision blurred as her pulse thundered in her ears. "Oh my God... Dylan..."
Before she could respond further, her phone lit up with another incoming call. Randolf Evans.
She ignored it, but it rang again. And again. On the third attempt, she answered with a snap.
"Not now, Attorney Evans—"
[Don’t hang up!] Randolf’s voice cut through, urgent. [Duncan just called. Annie contacted him—she has Dylan. He’s on his way to her now.]
