"How did this happen?!" Cooper roared as he slammed him fists down on the steering wheel in front of him, making everyone in the car jump.
"Cooper... We have everyone across the city looking, we'll find her. She couldn't have gotten that far." Sam cautiously spoke, hoping to calm his brother.
"This shouldn't have happened in the first place, there should always be someone at the front gate." Coopers anger was rolling off him in waves.
"I'm sorry Cooper, I didn't even see her there..." Coopers anger was indirectly Sam's fault. It was his car that had opened the gate and therefore his fault that Natalie escaped.
Cooper had been downstairs in the living room on the phone, waiting for Sam to arrive. They had a few work related things to go over this morning. Usually meetings were conducted at the office, but Cooper didn't want to leave Natalie here alone too long on her first day.
It was amazing that no one had seen Natalie's 'Big Escape'. Of course the cameras out front had seen her go down the side of the driveway, but by the time anyone figured out what was going on she had snuck off the property and disappeared into the city.
If it had been anyone except Sam in the car that let her out Cooper would have killed them with his bare hands. But since it was his baby brother he might just smack him around a bit after they find her.
"You better find her, Sam." The unspoken threat in Coopers words were well understood. Sam knew Cooper wouldn't kill him, but he was still afraid when his big brother spoke like that.
The car ride was tense and awkward, everyone on their phones communicating with various people that were on the lookout for the runaway girl. They drove around aimlessly, checking the few places they thought she could have gone.
"Where the Hell would she go?" Coopers rhetorical question went unanswered.
Just as he was about to start beating the steering wheel again, Sam's cellphone rang.
"What." He rudely answered, all manners gone for the moment.
It was the police station nearest Coopers home. One of the officers on their payroll had seen Natalie come in. He was holding her, just waiting on word from the boss.
Slamming on the brakes in the middle of the street Cooper came inches from causing an accident. He jammed the car in reverse and sped back the way they had just come. Giving everyone minor whiplash.
Cooper was now hopeful and excited. He couldn't wait to show Natalie what happened when people went to the cops. She would be getting a real punishment this time, no more 'Mr. NiceGuy'.
Pulling up to the station in record time, Cooper parked out front and hopped out. Rushing over to Sam's side of the car he bent down to speak with his brother briefly.
"I'm going in alone. Pull around back and keep the car running, just incase she decides to make a scene." Sam jumped to follow his instructions with immediate obedience.
Walking up the steps to the precinct Cooper tried to settle the butterflies in his stomach. The relief of finding her so quick along with the knowledge of her impending punishment was making him giddy.
The gang had many people throughout the city on the take, cops included. So Cooper could find his away around all of the precincts easily, having spent time in most of them. Knowing exactly where he was going he marched in with the confidence of a man who had fucked most of the women he walked past. Ignoring all of the lustful and fearful looks he was getting he headed for the elevator and went straight to the second floor. Cooper was on a mission for Sergeant Parten's office.
"Where is she?" Cooper demanded from the Sergeant that was nervously waiting outside the elevators for him.
"She's- ah- she's in my office, Mr. Grant." The poor man was shocked, not expecting Cooper Grant himself to be the man coming to collect the crying woman currently seated in his office.
"What has she told you?" Walking past the stuttering man and heading for the office, Cooper wanted to know how foolish his new love actually was.
"Ah nothing Sir. I don't think she actually knows anything. She's just scared and confused, she's crying and just wants to go home." Parten sounded confused himself. "I don't think she even knows what your last name is." He added as an after thought.
Cooper silently listened to the man. The first thing his father taught him about the family business was to never say more than you have to when talking to the cops. But he was rather interested to hear that even after all hat has happened his little Natalie was still clueless.
"You did good. You will be thanked for this, now go away." Cooper stopped just outside the door and spoke rudely to the man on his heels.
"Yes, sir." Sergeant Parten wasn't surprised by the tone or even the words that Cooper had used, but he still felt uneasy about leaving that poor girl alone with this psychotic man. Seeing no other choice, he turned and walked away, praying there would not be a crime scene to clean up when he returned.
