Dom’s POV
“The police just searched Jason’s mother’s house. She hasn’t seen him since he went to jail and they swept the house, he ain’t there Dom.” Vince filled me in as I stood on the front porch with Hector.
After our initial search the police had called us all back to the house for questioning. I had been impatient, wanting nothing more than to get in my car and start searching all over again. It had pissed me off completely when the police ordered me to stay at the house; their only excuse was in case she comes back. I had almost punched the cop had it not been for hector and Vince’s quick reflexes. Even though all our statements had been the same and Jason hadn’t yet been found nor had his parole officer heard from him, the police seemed convinced she would ‘just come back’ like she had the choice.
“Bro we’ll find her.” Hector spoke gently, patting me on the shoulder as he stood at my side.
“I’m going to kill him.” I whispered as I stared out into the darkness.
“As I said at the trial and when this whole mess first started, family or not, I’ll be right by your side. He deserves everything that’s coming to him.”
“I wish we knew who posted his bail. He would of gone straight to that person.” I swore, thumping my fist on the railing.
“I’ve tried bro, the police don’t know either. It was all done anonymously.” Hector sighed in frustration.
“Thanks for your help man, I really appreciate it. It’s late though so you should head home and get some rest, send the boys home too. I’ll call if I hear anything.”
“No way man, none of us would be able to sleep knowing she still hasn’t been found.” I nodded gratefully, sending him a sad smile in return.
“In saying that though I will head home just for a quick minute. I left Jacob over there by himself.” Hector groaned and I forced a smile at Hector’s frustration with his younger brother.
“Still getting into trouble huh?” Vince asked lightly.
“Man every time he’s over my alcohol seems to disappear, not to mention my food. Mum can’t handle him at the best of times so she sends him over to me.” He grunted in annoyance.
“Family man, you can’t pick and choose ‘em.” I muttered and he nodded in agreement.
“Oh but how I wish. Back soon brother, ring me if ya hear anything before I get back.”
“Of course.” I nodded and watched as Hector left, leaving only me and Vince standing on the porch.
“Dom.” I turned to face Mia as she walked out the door. Her eyes were still red from crying and I held my arm out to her. She came willingly and I held her to my side tightly, afraid if I let her go she would disappear too.
“The police just called again.” She spoke quietly and I tensed at the tone of her voice.
“What did they say?”
“They’ve called off the search until morning. I tried to argue with them but they wouldn’t listen. They said they’d start again at first light.” I tensed angrily, furious at the thought of them resting while anything could be happening to my Letty.
“They’re what?” Vince demanded angrily, storming off without a reply no doubt to phone the police once more.
“I’m going looking then.” I snapped, gently nudging Mia backwards.
“Dom no, you need rest and you shouldn’t be driving in the state you’re in.”
“Mia I am not going to sit back and do nothing. He has her Mia, I know what his plans were for the last time I would hate to see what tricks he’s picked up in prison.” I snapped.
“I know, I’m worried too. I just don’t want you going to prison.” She spoke softly and I sighed.
“Mia I do find the bastard I am going to kick his arse. I want him dead or rotting in prison for the rest of his miserable life.” I admitted before I walked inside the house to seek out the others.
“Edwin is rounding up the gang and meeting us here. The cops are fucking useless, we’re better off doing this on our own.” Leon spoke to me as he ended his phone call. I nodded in agreement; glad they weren’t planning on talking me out of looking.
“You called Hector yet? Let him know what’s happened?” Vince asked me after he walked into the room. I shook my head and he nodded, pulling out his cell to dial Hector.
“Hold up, Hector’s ringing me.” I spoke answering the call as everyone waited for some positive news.
“Dom, I got her. My place.” I didn’t wait for anything more to be said, I just hung up the phone without so much as a word. Trading a look with Vince he let out an audible sigh of relief as I darted from the house. I didn’t care that I hadn’t explained it to anyone else; I knew Vince would take care of that. Right now all I wanted to do was get to Letty, hold her in my arms and never let her out of my sight again.
