“It’s got nothing to do with us, but they still want to pin it on us. What are we supposed to do?”

Manny was restless, and his expression showed it.

That thought alone made Manny’s face grow darker.

Dale drew in several deep breaths before he forced himself to calm down. “You’re going to start looking for her right now.”

“Yes.”

Manny gritted his teeth, throwing Dan one last glare.

But Dan sat there looking completely unconcerned, which only made Manny angrier.
