I Broke Her

5

Dalton.

"What time are we heading to the warehouse this morning?" "In an hour" "great" "let's go eat then we'll go. I know you have a bit on your mind" I nodded.
All of us walking to the dining room angelic brought us all some food and a drink.
"What is happening today?" "We have a shipment to send to san diego" angelic looked at me "that's not all is it?" "Nothing gets past you does it hun" "oh you know me" I grinned "apollo seen bridie yesterday" "oh that woman" "she didn't do it angelic" "what?" "Jamee did and she is now dead and at the bottom of the ocean" "you hurt an innocent person? And of all people, Bridie." "hun let's not .." "did you question her?" "No I didn't and I'm the one that has to live with what I did" "damn right you do" angelic is probably the only woman I would ever let speak to me this way but I deserve it. I deserve everything for hurting bridie the way I did. "Who found out?" "Alia found a letter in my mother's room" "that wonderful woman may not have been able to speak anymore but I'm glad she left that letter. What are you going to do?" "Find her" "then what?, That woman is probably traumatized" I nodded "I know" I just shook my head "I fucked up, I know that" "good fix it. Bridie was a wonderful woman" "yes I know" "hun we need to eat" "hmm fine" angelic left and callan looked at me "sorry" "no I deserve it. Shes right. I didn't question bridie, I just acted out of hurt and anger" "well for your sake, I hope you can find her and fix everything" "I think I'm going to have to start with fixing her" callan and apollo nodded. "I have never seen her fearful and it killed me seeing her that way yesterday" "she knows that you'd tell me and I can only imagine what's running through her mind" everyone sat silent eating their breakfast.
"We should get to the warehouse" I nodded and stood up.

Getting to the warehouse, I looked at the three crates "these are the crates?" "Yes all packed and ready to go. When is manny getting here?" "He said first thing" "shouldn't be too far then" "I will transfer the funds to your account" "I know" I nodded.
Hearing a truck roll up, we looked out the window. "Looks like manny is here" "let's get these on the truck and out of here".

"Manny" "callan, dannon and apollo" "are you sure you have enough room?" "plenty. I will reverse her in so we can load her up" "alright".
Opening the warehouse doors, manny reversed the truck in and apollo jumped on the forklift.
Loading the three crates in manny locked the truck.
"Good luck and stay safe" "I will be right, I will see you at the other end" "that you will. Maddox will be there if I'm not" "alright I will see you all soon".
Waiting for manny to leave we then closed the warehouse doors.
"Lets back to the house" "yeah. Any news?" "She has gone to sacramento that's as far as I know. She couldve been there for a night or staying. If I hear anything or if her car is on a camera, we'll find her" "alright".

"That was very quick" "it only needed to be loaded hun" angelic nodded.
"When are you heading back to San Diego?" "I'm not" apollo looked at me "you are not coming back to san diego?" "No" "you are going to find her on your own?" "Yes I am" "why don't you let us help you?" "You can but I can't pull everyone away from what needs to be done" "do you have a plan?" "only to get her back. I will follow her until I find her" "I don't know how this is going to turn out dannon" "I don't care. I need to apologise, I need to fix what I broke and I want her back. I haven't even looked at anyone besides her" "we know" I nodded.
"Do you want me to help dannon?" I looked at angelic "how?" "Maybe having a female around could help" "I appreciate it but I don't know how long it's going to take" "I can tell you really want to make up for your mistake dannon but i can also tell you it won't be easy" "I know" angelic nodded "if you find her and need help, I'm only a call away" "we are all with you dannon" "thanks callan".
Just sitting here, I wasn't sure what my next move was going to be but I need her. She is the love of my life. I need to find her. I need to convince her I'm not going to hurt her. I need to show her how sorry i am but most of all I need to fix her and bring her home where she belongs.
"Are her parents still around?" "I don't know" "maybe go visit them, they might have an idea where she is" "what the hell am I supposed to say?" "Just ask if they have seen her, you are looking to reconnect with her" I nodded. "If they have the same number I can call them" "you still have their number?" "Yeah" "well call them" I nodded.
Walking away from everyone, I pulled my phone out of my pocket.
Finding elsie's number I then pressed call.
"Hello" "hi elsie it's dannon" "dannon... Oh it's been a long time, is everything okay with bridie?" "Actually I was calling to speak with her but I'm guessing you havent seen her" "no, not for six years we thought she was with you and maybe we had done something wrong. We really miss our daughter dannon" "I'm sorry, I haven't seen her. I miss her too. How have you been?" "We have been doing well thank you and you dannon?" "Busy but alright" "do you know where my daughter could've gone?" "I'm sorry I don't but I will find her" "maybe I should put in a police report" "that won't be necessary, I will find her" "please do dannon, we really miss her" "I know, I will contact you as soon as I find something" "thank you, take care dannon" "you too elsie".
Shit they haven't seen her for six years which means she cut ties with everyone. My guess is to protect them as she thinks I want her dead and would go through her family.

"How'd you go?" "She has cut ties with them, my guess she has cut ties with everyone. They haven't seen her for six years" "makes sense. They are her family. she would want to protect them" I nodded
"Well the only thing we can do is track her by her licence plate" "what about her bank records can anyone access them?" "I don't know anyone" "no" angelic grinned "that I can help with" "reese?" Angelic nodded "yep he still works at the bank" "see what you can do" "alright give me ten minutes".

"Hopefully he can help" "reese is a family friend. he is a trustworthy person" I nodded.
"Would he be willing to do this?" "That I don't know but I'm sure angelic can get him to agree" "hopefully".
"What time is the flight back to San Diego?" "Eight" apollo nodded "alright plenty of time. Are you sure you aren't going to come back?" "No I'm not. Everyone knows what they need to do and Im sure you can handle it while I'm not around" "apollo if you need a hand, I have men you can use" apollo nodded "I don't know if you should do this on your own dannon" "well I can't go in with heaps of men" "he has a good point".
"Here" angelic put a piece of paper on the table.
"Transaction records?" "Only the last twenty four hours" "hmm well we know where she is staying but for how long" "call them find out what a room is worth".

"Mento motor in, how can I help you?" "Hi I'm looking at getting a room, can you tell me the price for a night?" "Eighty four" "okay thank you I will give you a call back soon" "no problem, bye".
"Two nights, so she'll be there until ten at latest tomorrow morning" "need transport?" "Yeah" "are you going now?" "No he is not. he needs to eat lunch" "angelic" "you need to eat, whether you stay or not you will be eating" "okay" callan smirked "I'll go get a car for you" "thanks" "I better go make you some food" "you do not need to do that" "I am and I do" "thanks angelic".
"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you dannon?" "if I need your help, I will call but I think Its best I do this on my own. I know she is already scared. having more than just one person is going to make her feel worse".
