I left a quick message and was just hanging up when Alex walked back through the door. One look at his face and I knew it was bad. Really bad.
Not wanting to hear what I knew would be awful news; I just stared at him, frozen in horror.
His voice was tight when he asked me. "Who were you talking too?"
"No one. I called Anna to tell her where we were, but I ended up having to leave a voicemail."
"I'm afraid you won't get Anna on her phone. Kyle just got in touch with Chaz. Anna's been missing since she left our house last night. Her car was found parked in the usual spot at her apartment but her phone, keys and pocketbook were found on the ground beside her car." At the stricken look on my face, Alex came forward, wrapping his arms around me.
"We'll find her, Brooke. Ethan and Kyle are already on it. I've called for our jet to be prepared and it should be ready within the hour."
If I had still been human, I would have been shaking like a leaf. As it was, fear was running rampant in my veins. "I knew it," I whispered. "I knew something bad was going to happen. That vision was not just stress." My fear kicked up a notch as I remembered the bloody matted, blonde hair that had flashed by me during the vision. Hair the exact same shade as Anna's.
I pulled back from Alex, grabbing his shoulders and looking him in the eye. "It's the vision Alex. I saw hair the exact color as Anna’s and it was covered in blood. There were lots of green rolling hills, and a stormy looking harbor with gray, choppy water. It has to mean something. Maybe the hills and the harbor are near where she was taken."
He looked at me thoughtfully. "Maybe. But even if she is, those kinds of places exist everywhere. It's not specific enough to go on right now, but maybe once we find out who has her, it could help us narrow it down."
Chaz stuck his head back in the door. "Car's out front when you're ready." Alex nodded his acknowledgment and turned back to me.
"I have a feeling this is related to us somehow. I don't think that this was a random act. I need you to be extremely careful. If I'm going to help find Anna and get her back, I can't be worried that you're not safe."
I felt a little bad that he even had to remind me but, given my history, he was certainly warranted. I nodded. "You don't have to worry about me. Just find Anna. Please."
A couple of hours later, I was sitting in my living room back in Charlotte, alternating between pacing and watching my phone for news. Alex had left straight from the airport to meet Ethan and Kyle once we'd landed. A driver had picked me up, taking me home where I was supposed to wait for news. I knew they were just trying to protect me, but I felt like I should be doing something to help. Anything had to be better than sitting there pacing the floors. Alex had a member of the security team in the guardhouse at the road and several more outside watching for any surprise guests. I had a feeling that they were on double duty; both to keep anyone out and to keep me in. There was some validity to that, as I was itching to get out of the house and do some investigating of my own. Remembering my promises to both Alex and Ethan, I reined those thoughts in and, taking my phone, headed up to my room to unpack. Anything to take my mind off of things for a while. Worrying wouldn't do anyone a bit of good.

I looked up from my suitcase; my vision zooming in on the window where the noise had originated. The thick curtains that hung in front of our large bedroom windows were effectively blocking my line of vision. I moved stealthily towards the window I‘d heard the tapping noise come from,
