Zane sweetie, I need someone like you in my life

For sometime now MIIA's Dynasty has been in and out of my mind
But after I read a chapter of this really amazing book I can't get it out
😩😩😩

Something has to be done, something needs to be done, but... what? Restricted and set aside from the investigation, Zane doesn't know what he can do but he can't just sit back and do nothing. Not when Clarissa's becoming more depressed, not when the boys are starting to grow older than they are because they're taking care of their mother, not when Logan's crumbling again and Jess isn't there to put him back together and not when... he can't sleep knowing Kate maybe out there not getting sleep, waiting to be found and worse yet... battling for her life.

He plays with the ring hanging form his neck absentmindedly. They had promised to be there for each other, to protect each other, also, they had promised to never leave each other. That is what the rings are for. A promise and testament to their love. They had their whole lives planned.

Graduate, become a Detective while she becomes a doctor, get married, tour the world visiting as many places as they could, buy a home together, settle down, have kids and grow old.

It's only realistic to know things don't always go according to plan but kidnap? What if they never find her? What if they find her dead? What if they find her but she's forgotten who he is. There are honestly Soo many cases he's worked on that have all those three outcomes. He tries to stop his mind from wondering not knowing how on point he is with the third one.

"Anything?"

He snaps out of his thoughts and turns to his friend. Chapped lips, dark under eyes, pale skin and hair spread every which way showing he's run his hands through it atleast a thousand times today... He does it again.

"We'll find them"

"What makes you so sure? You told me yourself, with such cases the longer they're missing the more likely they're dead or trafficked"

He did say that. That has always or 75% of the time been the outcome so... Why did he think their case would be different. Maybe because the people concerned are people he cares about but isn't that what the families of all the other victims think. Everything's fine, they'll be found, they'll be alright but... that never really happens, so why'd he think their case would be different. He turns back to the files and papers spread out Infront of him. He's not allowed to be here, he's not supposed to be here but he can't just sit back and do nothing.

"We'll... find them. We will"

Legs bouncing up and down in quick succession, Logan roughly wipes his sweaty palms down his jeans and abruptly stands.

"What are you..." Zane starts to ask but is cut off

"I'm going for a walk. Call me when you find something, anything... Please"

"I will" and with that he storms off like a crazed person. Which in actuality he is now.

Focusing back on the task at hand. The files show a total of 31 girls missing, all between the ages of 19-27, all reported missing on the same day -sunday- and all last collectively seen at a club, the one that just opened... the one they all went to. This means it was a trap from the beginning.
