Sought and Snatched

Chapter 19

Eleanor's P.O.V

"Richard we're leaving."

Richard Jones put down the picture frame that he was staring at and gave me a puzzled look. I rolled my eyes at him and headed for the door. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him.

His eyes crinkled at the corners and he pouted his lip. His dark eyes searched mine. Trying to figure out what I was thinking.

If only he knew. 

"Eleanor, what's wrong?"

I relaxed my shoulders. "I think I have an idea of where Josephine is. But you're going to have to trust me."

His eyes lit up and I tapped my foot. Precious seconds were already going to waste. "This is great!" He crushed me into a hug and I awkwardly put my arms around him.

"We should contact the police and let them know."

"No!" He raised an eyebrow at me and I flashed him a fake smile. "I just think we will waste time doing that. We can't spend another minute waiting around when there is a chance that our daughter is out there right underneath our grasp."

He looked at me but didn't say anything. "Honey, don't you trust me?" Richard ran his hand through his hair and pulled on his coat. I let my shoulders go limp.

"I don't like this Eleanor."

"Trust me. I could practically feel her."

"Is everything okay? You almost seem too cheerful about this. How can you be so certain?"

"A mother's intuition."

Richard gave me one more look before heading out the door. I sighed. He was getting way too suspicious. He was a problem that now had to be dealt with.

The car ride was silent and I hummed along to some tunes. I nodded to the music and tried to shake the tension off in the car but it was no use. Richard didn't trust me anymore but it was fine. When we got inside he wouldn't be a bother anymore.

I pulled into the building and turned off the ignition. My hand shifted towards the gun in my pocket and I slowly began to pull it out. Then there was a knock on my window.

Jack Jullian. I tried to hide the bubbly smile that was already fighting its way to form into my face. I rolled the window down.

"Ahh Mrs. Jones! It is so good to see you! We have found your daughter and she is safe and sound!"

Richard glared at Jack then looked over at me. I ignored him and got out of the car. "Please we will show you to her right away."

"Why is he here?" Jack whispered quickly in my ear.

"Don't worry," I reply.

"I'll handle it."
