Shadows In Durango

Chapter 111

*****Vincent's POV*****

"Would you just calm down for a minute?!" Reid bargains, as I launch another glass off of the wall in my office, smashing it in to a million tiny pieces.

"How is there no sign of her in any hospitals?! Where the fuck is she then? Where has he taken her?!" I rage, not liking the update that my father had brought back to me an hour after he left.

"Vincent you won't be able to find her in this state!" My father deadpans next, as I feel myself losing more and more patience as time stretches on.

I just watched her pass out on a sidewalk before being hauled in to the back of a random guys car. How did they expect me to remain calm? This was all my own fucking fault!

Any sadistic maniac could have her right now for all we know and all because I fucked up and kept secrets from her!

"Hey?" We all turn to find Emma poking her head around my office door, before her tired eyes grow wide at the destruction I had caused in here.

It looked as though a tornado had hit the office... but I needed an outlet for my anger. It was either this, or I would go out and find Daryl to beat the shit out of him instead... and so they should be glad that I chose this option! "Your silly mother keeps fucking calling me! Let me go see what she wants, I told her to stay away from us today." My father mutters, eyeing another incoming call on his phone with a hard expression.

She was the last person I needed to see right now! I feared that if she got in my way today, I wouldn't hesitate to strangle the air right out of her...

Watching him leave, I reach up to tug at my hair, pacing back and forth with the shards crunching beneath my feet.

This whole thing was soul destroying! There must be something else? Something we are all missing? She can't just vanish with a stranger without a trace!

"What I don't understand is why she even stopped to talk to him? It's as though she recognised him..." Reid gives me his input, as Emma enters fully to join us now - her curiosity piqued.

"My father seems to think that she just felt dizzy or something and asked him for help... before she collapsed." I state, continuing to pace with my brows pulling together in deep thought.
