It felt like my whole heart had been tossed through the sky.
Everything around me was falling apart, and all I could do was stand there beside Donnor and pretend he didn't hear anything Smith told him.
But that wasn't the case.
I nodded to Smith, who had a glimmer in his eyes. He watched us both with newfound hope and a warm smile.
"We will get to the bottom of this...and get the ones who deserve to be in jail, in jail."
I shot a drilling gaze at Donnor who didn't flinch but glanced at me straight in the eye.
Smith broke the tension.
"Let's hop into the plane. Next flight is straight to Ireland!"
"Right..."
I muttered under my breath, trying to adjust myself to the new situation at hand.
As we got in the line, my mind clicked.
"Smith? That man is calling you, over there!"
I pointed in the opposite direction. Smith got out of the line, looking for the man.
"Where?"
I grabbed his hand, leading to the other side. I could feel Donnor's eyes on us from the line.
"Where---"
I held Smith's hand, interrupting him in a rush.
"Smith, I need to talk to Taylor. Can you get me his family's number?"
Smith stared at me, his lips curling in.
"Family?"
"Yeah...I lost my phone, his phone isn't with him...Jasper, Donnor's second got ahold of his phone. I need to talk to him, it's urgent."
"But---"
"Do it. Otherwise, I won't go anywhere with you."
He shook his head in disbelief.
"Are you serious right now?"
"You bet I am."
He held his phone, chatting with someone. Within a minute, he faced me.
"Here you go."
He handed me his phone. Taylor's father's number popped on the screen.
I saved it on my mobile, giving it a ring with a thumping heart. I held Smith's shoulders, giving him a nudge.
"You can go and join Do--I mean join my friend...he must be getting bored."
Smith nodded, getting back to the long line. Someone picked up the call.
"Hello?"
That voice!!
"Taylor!!" A smile broke my face as I stood still in a state of pleasant surprise.
There was a pause from his end before he spoke, a glimmer of happiness filling his voice.
"Callie!?"
"Yes! It's me! Gosh, Taylor! Hope you are doing fine. I was so worried."
"I am...fine now... at least...got kidnapped by Jasper back in Amsterdam on the way back from the bar."
My shoulders dropped.
"What did he want?"
"Uh..." His voice grew weak. I could tell he was hesitant.
I spoke gently, "It's okay...you can tell me..."
