Chapter 16 - MIA DISAPPEARED

The worst ten minutes of my life began with an empty bedroom.
Elena screamed.
Mia gone.
Window open.
Guard unconscious.
On pillow:
Bring the two keys.
Old port.
Alone.
Elena turned toward me.
“You’re not going alone.”
“Yes.”
“No.”
“Mia—”
“Is my daughter.”
That ended argument.
We went together.
But not alone.
Rocco coordinated police contacts and our own security from distance.

Power without stupidity.
I was learning.
