Chapter 139

He handed Cleo the detective card after he wrote something on the back. "Call him on the cell number and tell him to meet me at the address on the back. Let him know there might be trouble and he needs to hurry."

Cleo caught his arm. "Is she in trouble?"

"I don't know." He rushed out and jumped back in Parker's car. "Let's get down to the site."

Upon arriving at the site by the back entrance, the security vehicle was strangely parked near the front of the opened gate. Parker stopped his own vehicle nearby and they walked up to the vehicle.

"He's dead," Parker said before Ethan got a close up look to see the neck slashed. Ethan looked around the place and saw Cleo's car parked at the front entrance. She wouldn't have seen this so she was walking right into a trap. He went to the security trailer to find the gun the personnel always left in the top cabinet, but it was missing. Parker followed him and let him know the gun on the officer was missing as well.

A computer blipped and they saw the newly installed elevator sensor was activated meaning someone had just stepped into the booth and according to the readout was heading to the top floor.

"Get on your car phone and call the police. Let them know someone's broken into the building and they have a weapon," Ethan said heading out the door. "I'm taking the steps up to the seventh floor, but the signals not good up there so come after you finish the call." He didn't even wait for Parker to speak again before he ran out the door and headed for the front of the building.
