Slade

Heartbroken

"Mommy where's daddy?" Riley tugs at my pant.

I rub the back of her head. "He'll be home sorry, baby" I sniffle and wipe my tears.

"Alright... we know where Slade is" Thorn walks on, upset as ever.

I look down at Riley. "Go play in your room baby, mommy will be there in a second" I say softly and she nods before running of.

"Is he okay?! Where is her?!" Whisper asks.

Thorn sighs. "Arkansas"

"What?! How?!" she asks in shock.

"The cop took him there..." he gulps.

"For what?" I wipe a tear.

"Death row" he says and Whisper and I gasp.

"It's gonna be okay love!!" Kaitlyn rubs my back as I cry. "They can get him out!! He has a tracker in his body, remember?! They'll find him!"

"His execution date is in two days!" I cry.

"I know... I saw the news. But they won't tell where he is" she sighs.

"We found where he is" Ethan and Dallas walk in.

I pull back from Kaitlyn and look at them with my red puffy eyes. "W-where is he?" I ask.

"Yea! Spill!" Kaitlyn says.

"San Diego" Dallas says and we drop out jaws.

"But don't worry! We've leaving now to get him. We'll be there by tomorrow..." Ethan adds.

"Before his execution time... right?" I ask. They look at each other. "Right?!"

They sigh. "We're trying. We're taking our private jet and planning to get there right on his execution time"

"What time is it exactly?" Kaitlyn asks.

"I think five in the morning. Which is why we gotta go NOW at this exact moment" Dallas looks at Ethan.

Ethan nods. "Yea, we just wanted to inform you before we leave"

"Okay, go get him!!" I rush.

"We'll be back with him!" Dallas says before they run out.

"Do you feel better?" Kaitlyn asks softly.

"They're timing to get there doesn't seem so promising" I frown.

She rubs my back and Riley runs in. "Mommyyyy, I want daddy home!!" she frowns.

I walk to her and pick her up. "He will. Tomorrow or the next day" I say softly and she bursts out crying.

"I want daddy!" she cries.

"She's such a daddy's girl" Kaitlyn laughs.

"I know, baby. I do too, but we have to be patient for daddy! Why don't you draw him a picture for when he comes?" I ask softly.
