Jason POV 💋
Nik's assistant brought coffee at his request and she handed me a steaming cup of espresso. "Thank you." I murmured taking it from her. My body was so reliant on coffee that even the aroma of it made my senses come alive. I was about to take a sip when the door of Nik's office opened.
Alex stood in the doorway but didn't walk in. "We just got an alert from Andrew Holmes phone carrier that he's turned his phone on."
His words had Nik leaping out of his chair. "Told you they'd slip up and make a mistake." He cracked a satisfied smile at me before asking me to come with him.
I followed him and Alex down a plushy carpeted hallway and into a huge room that was buzzing with activity. A large U-shaped desk was in the middle of the room, which was equipped with high-tech computers, laptops and all the other exclusive gadgets needed for investigations.
More than a dozen people were huddled over computers, some tapping away furiously at their keyboards and others talking into headphones. Huge flat screens covered nearly every inch of wall space and showed live security feed from all over the country.
"Sir." A woman addressed Nik, her voice laced with urgency. "We just got a match on the truck Michael Ryder and Andrew Holmes were driving. One of our choppers spotted it abandoned on the outskirt of the city."
"Tap into the security cameras and find out what they did after leaving the vehicle."
"I'm afraid there aren't any cameras in that area, sir. But two choppers are canvassing the surrounding area."
"Keep monitoring the surveillance footage. They are bound to pop up somewhere." Nik instructed and walked up to a guy who was at the back of the room. He had three computer screens in front of him, all switched on. "Elliot. What have you got?"
Elliot tapped on his keyboard and a map of Los Angeles appeared on the right screen. It was dotted with red flags that marked all the cell towers in the state. "Andrew Holmes turned his phone on about five minutes ago. As you know, every active phone emits a low-power signal and connects with the nearest cell tower. I'm tracking his location by localizing the pings emitting from his phone and triangulating his position."
"How long will it take?"
"Just a couple of minutes." Elliot answered Nik's question as he turned his attention to the middle screen. "Unfortunately for us, he doesn't have a built-in GPS in his phone. If he had then I would have been able to get his exact location."
Nik glanced at me and gave me a reassuring nod. "We are close, Jason. I'm sure Andy is still with Michael and Kate so by tracking his location we are also finding out where she is."
I nodded and stepped off to a side not wanting to be in their way. Taking a deep breath, I pushed my hands deep into my pockets. My heart was leaping in my chest. I held on to the hope that had sprung to life within me.
Elliot tapped away on his keyboard for a minute before turning back to the screen that showed the map of Los Angeles County. He clicked on a flag that stood for a cell tower in South Pasadena. A circle appeared on the screen. "I've got him." He announced excitedly. "Or at least, his general location." He moved the cursor over the circle. "He is somewhere in this area. I can get an accuracy up to 10-mile radius from the tower."
