David sat in the living room at Xavier’s house. The lights were low. His phone rang. It was an unknown number. He answered it quickly.
A rough voice spoke on the other end. “We have Scott. If you want him back, come to the old warehouse by the docks. Come alone. No police. No tricks.”
The line went dead.
David stood up fast. His face was hard. He told Xavier what happened. Xavier wanted to go with him but David said no.
“This is my fight,” David said. “Scott is Micah’s brother. I will bring him back.”
Xavier nodded but looked worried. “Be careful. Take Sarah with you at least.”
David agreed. He and Sarah left the house in the SUV. They drove fast through the dark streets. The rain started again. It made the roads wet and slippery.
Sarah checked her gun. “You think this is a trap?”
