Chapter 19

"Levi,what the fuck do you mean he's gone? Gone where?" I bellowed down my phone.

"I don't know, boss. He went to get his toy ray, take a leak, and never came back. I went to his dressing room after five minutes and he wasn't there. We've combed the building, he's nowhere to be found. He's not anywhere in the building."

Fuck!

A moment of fear gripped me; the what if of several scenarios flooded my mind. My military training took over. I pushed my feelings into my boots; my mind focused on the task at hand and everything I needed to do to get Lennox back in one piece.

"Levi, CCTV, I need every exit they have, the corridor of his dressing room. Check them all. Cars, anything at all that looks out of place. The man hasn't just disappeared, something will show us what's happened. I'm on my way back, ETA about eight minutes." I didn't wait to hear Levi's reply before I hung up.

The last miles back to the venue passed without me even really registering how I arrived there. My mind was racing with everything that I would need to do to make sure that I got Lennox back safely. My heart was down in my belly, filling it with nervous knots in a way that I had never experienced before.

I thought about everything that had happened between Lennox and I over the last few weeks. I thought about what had happened between us just a few nights ago in Belfast. It wasn't long before my mind also raced with thoughts about everything I should have said that day and didn't have the balls to. What if I never got the chance to say them to him now?

No.

That could not happen. I would get Lennox back or else.
