An Old Friend

Chapter 30: "I can't lose her like I lost Maeve."

Spencer
"Sorry that's all I found registered in his name. Just one house. Nothing else." Garcia says.
"Are you positive?" I question.
"Of course I am Boy Genius. And you know that I'm not even supposed to be telling you this. You have been given a break on this case." Garcia adds.
"I know but I can't just not help. What if...........what if we don't find her in time?"
"Oh Spencer, don't think like that. We'll find her in time." Garcia answers.
"That's what you all promised about Maeve" I reply then end the call. Tears begin to slid down my cheeks for the fourth time today.
Oh man, what have I done? Why did I do that? I probably just made Penelope feel worse than she already does. It's just getting on my nerves that the team won't let me help and I'm being left in the dark. It's already been 10 hours since Mia has been abducted but it has felt like an eternity. Who knows how long Daniel will keep Mia? He could drive to a different state if he wanted to because Mia was his prime target. She could not cooperate and he might kill her. Oh please no. I can't lose Mia like I lost Maeve.

Mia
I open my eyes and feel an even more massive headache now then when I first got here. I slowly sit up, ignoring the surge of dizziness and nausea I perceive, to observe my surroundings. The table that just minutes or hours ago had the tray with the syringe resting on it now has a plate with a sandwich and glass of water. Since I'm starving and parched I decide it's worth ingesting.
If Daniel wanted to kill me he would have done it by now. Right?
With that nagging thought in the back of my mind I reach out my chained arm to the plate and grab the sandwich. I closely examine it. I see a strange, white slip poking out of the bread so I pull it out. It's a note.

We'll be leaving tomorrow night. Enjoy the sandwich, drink the water, and have a wonderful night.

"Ugh, where the hell is this monster keeping Mia? I don't understand. We've already been to his house and found no sign of him. If he doesn't own any other property where is he?!" I yell, completely irritated.
"Maybe he is keeping her temporarily at an abandoned building. He could be planning on taking her to a permanent location in another state." JJ considers.
"That's possible. If Mia was his primary target all along, chances are he planned everything to the second." Emily adds.
"We can't let him possess or............k-kill..............Mia. It will crush Spence. He'll never be the same again." JJ whispers.
"Yeah, you're right. I can't wait to catch this son of a bitch!"
