assertively
into the phone, “Amber Winters
has disappeared for a few days
and there are signs of struggle
in her condo. We are looking at
a bottle of prescription left
behind by the kidnapper. That’s
proof correct?” He pauses for
another moment to listen, “No
don’t send anyone to Amber’s
home here, you have to dispatch
the officers to the kidnapper’s
home before it’s too late!”
Conrad fumes in disbelieve and
blurts into the phone. “I give
up,
dispatch
whomever
to
wherever, I can’t dispute your
protocols. The address here is
16018 Collins Avenue, apartment
1808, missing person’s name is
Amber Winters.” Angrily he hangs
up on the police operator.
Looking at Taylor and Karina, he
vents furiously in incredulity.
“This is absurd and the most
ridiculous
thing I’ve ever
heard. They have protocols to
follow. She is dispatching the
cops here and not there. What
stupid protocols!”
Finding the situation hard to
believe, Conrad decides to take
matters in his own hands. “I
have
an
idea.”
he
looks
seriously at them. “The three of
us will go to Neyo’s building.
I’ll go up to his place while
both of you wait downstairs in
the car. If Amber is not there
and we are wrong with our
judgment, then we will leave and
try to figure out another way to
locate Amber. But if you don’t
see me coming down, that means
something is wrong. You can call
the police from there and tell
them you hear gunshots. That
would bring them out right
away.”
Looking confused as ever, Karina
stutters and tries to digest the
situation. “Wait, aren’t the
cops coming here? Shouldn’t we
wait for them?”
“No Karina.” Taylor looks at the
bottle of Latuda and agrees with
Conrad. “We need to find Amber
now and not a moment later.
She’s been missing for two days
already. Let’s hope it’s not too
late!”
************
Parked outside Neyo’s shady
looking condo building in North
Miami, they look around the
neighborhood and feel extremely
uncomfortable. Fortunately there
is still daylight which makes
them feel a little safer than
they would in the darkness of
the night.
They discuss the strategy again
and Conrad repeats himself,
“Remember, if you don’t see me
coming back in maximum fifteen
minutes, then that would mean
something is wrong and you can
call the cops.”
Karina is reluctant for Conrad’s
risk. “Are you sure about this?
It sounds dangerous to me.”
He assures her that everything
will be fine.
“I’m certain
Karina, Neyo knows me and it
wouldn’t shock him to see me at
his door. I wasn’t the one who
fired him so he shouldn’t have
anything against me. I’ll be
alright.”
Nervously speechless, Taylor and
Karina watch Conrad disappears
into the building. Breaking the
silence, Taylor couldn’t help
complimenting Conrad’s courage.
“Look at what he’s willing to
risk for her safety.” She speaks
truthfully from the depths of
her heart. “My man sent me on a
ninety
days
hiatus
over
nothing.” She fights against her
tears and is genuinely touched
by the love that Conrad has for
Amber.
“Well, as a consolation for you
Taylor, my man disappeared and
died on me. I will never forget
how cruel the entire ordeal was.
Mind you, he truly loves me but
shutting me out from his painful
fight against leukemia was the
only way he knew how to deal
with it. So, as unfair as things
may seem, people love in
different ways. Just because
Ivan sent you on a ninety days
hiatus does not mean that he
doesn’t love you, maybe it’s the
only way he knows how! Think
about it.”
Taylor refocuses on the crisis
on hand and changes the subject
of the conversation. She looks
at her watch in fear and
announces that ten minutes have
already passed.
“I’m scared.” Taylor admits.
Karina seconds nervously. “Me
too. I can’t breath.”
Almost fifteen minutes have
passed and Conrad is still
