Kadens pov.

It's been over two weeks since Stormi has disappeared. I have called in people that I wouldn't even consider.

My parents have been a huge help and Jarred has found out important information.

First of all, Stormi's parents were involved in some money laundering business and owed my uncle alot of money. A few million dollars.

Four to be exact.

It surprised me because Stormi lived poorly. From her parents finances, they looked like they were doing great. Their house wasn't huge and the food and clothes Stormi had wouldn't suggest her parents had any money so what could they do with the few million dollars that they borrowed?

Second of all, Stormi has a brother. Not just any brother but Manny is her brother.

After finding his DNA from an old school file, Jarred ran it in the database. He didn't find anything in records but he compared it to Stormi's and it was a positive match.

I wonder if Manny has known he's Stormi's brother.

If that's why he's so desperate to get her.

Third, Stormi's parents had everyone planned out in her life incase something happened to them.

From the social worker involved in Stormi's case to each foster parent. The length and time was all planned out.

I wonder if they had the abuse planned out too but I doubt they would. Who would willingly put their daughter in harm's way?

But also, what parent wouldn't step in if they knew their child was getting abused?

My uncle wanted them dead so he's probably the one who made them run, if they are still alive.

My parents found that out when they went through old records that my uncle kept and they talked to all of his old workers that are still alive.

We still haven't found out for sure if that was really Stormi's mom on the phone the other day but Jarred is working on it.

For Stormi's sake, I really hope it isn't.

Only because it's going to crush her knowing her parents were alive this entire time but didn't help her, find her, or protect her.

But if they are alive, maybe they can heal some of the damage that's in Stormi's heart from losing her parents.

And lastly and most importantly, we know who has Stormi.

Manny.

Manny and his crew.

They are keeping her hidden in a warehouse two states over in the middle of a busy intersection.

They keep the place surrounded with guards and dogs.

But tonight, were coming to rescue my baby.

And this time, I'm not letting her out of my sight.

As I stare into the binoculars, I see movement from coming inside.
