Hidden *Sequel to Stolen*

Chapter 6: Using the enemies as help

The lady stood behind the desk, reading over what Agent Wolfe had typed up for Sean and Mason telling them what they would get in return if they helped. I swear she read it like five times before handing the papers back to me. "Who are you here to see again?" She asked, looking at Heath for a bit. "Sean Dryer and Mason Evert." I said for maybe the fourth time already. "Okay, just take a seat and we'll get them ready for you." She said as she grabbed at her walkie talkie, reading off what I guess was Sean and Mason's prisoner number to someone else.

"What did Luke say to you back there?" Heath said as he took the seat next to me, and I turned my face away from him.

"Nothing. We just-just got in a fight, that's all." I said.

"Sure." Heath said.

I rolled my eyes at him before I sank more into the chair, not at all liking how this place felt. Jail was the last place I ever wanted to end up, the building always just left bumps on my skin and made me felt so helpless. I looked up when I saw a male officer walking towards us, a clipboard in hand. "Are you two here to see-" He paused as he looked at the names. "Mason Evert and Sean Dryer?" He said looking at us. Heath stood up and nodded his head. "Yes, sir." The officer lowered the clipboard and watched as I stood up. "Follow me." He said and we did so.

He led us down a small hall, past a few doors that had the name of the rooms printed across them off to the side and we came to a stop as he stopped in front of a metal detector. "I need you to walk through this, it's just for safety. Miss." He said leading his arm out for me towards the machine and I nodded my head, handing him my phone and a few other things and I made my way through it, when it let out loud beeps, the officer looked at me confused and made his way over to me. "Do you have anything on you?" He asked. I shook my head no. He sighed. "Let me pat you down." He did so and I saw that Heath was watching closely. The officer stood back up straight, rubbing his head. "That's odd, must just be the machine, you're good to go." He said before looking at Heath. Heath gave up his stuff before he walked through, the machine not beeping for him, that was odd. "Please follow me." The officer said leading us down yet another hall and when he stopped in front of the room, I saw through the thin line of glass a person sitting at a table. "Just yell or knock." The officer said as he opened the door and we both stepped in.

I looked over just as the person looked up at me, his face showing he was surprised. After the officer left, I looked back at him, his eyes meeting mine. I forgot how much his eyes made me almost buckle at my knees. He raised one eyebrow as he looked between Heath and I, leaning back in the chair and pulling his hands as much the cuffs would let him into his lap.

"Whatever it is, I didn't do it." His voice was rocky and the dark bags under his eyes showed how tired he was.

"You didn't do anything, Sean." I said, walking over the table.

"Then what did I do to get a visit from you?" He asked, looking over at Heath.

I looked over at Heah who meet my connected and nodded before I looked back over at Sean who was looking at both of us. "I-we need your help." I said and Sean snorted.

"Right, you need my help, do you even see who you're talking to?" He said raising his cuffed hands. "What do you really need?" He asked.

Heath stepped forward. "We need your help finding someone."

"Why?" Sean said looking at me.

Heath looked at me and I gave him the answer. "Because they took Ayden." I said and that seemed to draw in Sean's attention.
