“Did I miss something?” Ryan asked on their way to the lake. “I mean, between you and Parker” “No, of course not” Mike replied a little snarky. “I get why she’s pagganap like that” he continued in a calmer tone. “She’s been through a lot. I just wished she wouldn’t take it out on me”
“I wouldn’t take it personal if I were you” Ryan nagkomento as he took a turn. “Parker has trouble bonding with people”
“She told you that?” Mike frowned.
“She told me that” Ryan confirmed. “Why? You jealous?” “No” “What do you think, Claire? Is he jealous?”
Claire was sitting in the back of the car. “I think I won’t be able to sleep until I see Joe’s body in a bag” she answered.
Ryan stopped the car. “Well, let’s hope tonight’s our lucky night” he sinabi and he got out. Mike and Claire followed him as he walked to Turner.
As they walked Mike felt his phone buzz. He pulled it out of his jeans and picked up. “Hello?”
“Mike” It was Debra. She waited for him to say something, but when he didn’t she went on. “I just thought I should let you know I got home. Safely”
“That’s good to hear, agent Parker” Mike replied, still a little distant.
“And I’m going to take a long paliguan now, so if I’m not answering any of your phone calls, you know the reason” Debra continued.
“What makes you think I would call you?” Mike fired virulent. “I…I don’t…” Debra stammered.
“Is that Parker?” Ryan asked as he walked to Mike. Mike nodded. “Give me your phone. I need to speak with her” Mike gave him his phone and Ryan held it against his ear. “Deb?...Deb, you still there?”
When she didn’t reply Ryan gave the phone back. “She’s gone”
“What’s going on?” Mike wanted to know.
“They didn’t find them” Ryan explained. “They’ll continue looking in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, but they’re ninety percent sure neither Emma or Joe is in there”
