Chapter 224
Romeo
I immediately phoned Arlo, luckily, we were basically on the same time zone so he has to be awake. “Romeo, how are you?” He answered the phone. “I’m not sure not after the message I received from you. What’s going on?” “Well Brad escaped.” What the fuck, did I hear right? “What do you mean Brad escaped?” “His not in rehab anymore he pulled a Houdini and is gone, no one can find him.” “Fuck Arlo I can’t deal with this now and I can’t tell Jenn about this now?” “Why not?” “Except for the fact that we are on our honeymoon?” “Yes except for that fact?” “Well, if you must know Jenn is pregnant, very early days.” “Oh my God Romeo, I thought you didn’t want children.” “I didn’t but I want them now, I want them with her, she is made for me Arlo, but she has high blood pressure at the moment and severe morning sickness, so I really don’t want to bother her with this.” “Understandable.” “Have you guys been looking for him?” “Off course we have we even asked Peter to go to his favorite places but nothing, we can’t find him.” “I’m not ending our trip because of him, I’ll get some of the men that is still in Vegas to look for him, I would appreciate it if you call me as soon as someone finds him.” “We will and you call me if one of your guys finds him.” “I will, thank you Arlo.”
I called Lucas and Elijah to come to me on the patio, “Yes boss?” Lucas asked “Brad is missing.” Then I heard a big gulp behind me. Oh fuck, I turn around and saw Jennifer standing behind me. “What is going on?” “Angel please sit down, Lucas, Elijah, I’ll call you in a minute or two, don’t go to far.” “We won’t boss.”
Jennifer
I woke up, the room was dark but Romeo wasn’t lying with me anymore. I could feel I was hungry but truth be told I felt a bit sick as well. I got up and brush my teeth to get the sour taste out of my mouth then I went downstairs to look for something to drink and to look for Romeo. As I was walking down the stairs, I could hear Romeo talking clearly, he didn’t expect me he was calling Lucas and Elijah, Elijah saw me but Romeo didn’t, all I heard was “Brad is missing.” It was like someone hit me in the gut. “What is going on?” I heard Romeo swear underneath his breath before he said “Angel please sit down.” I couldn’t sit down; my father was missing I thought he was in rehab? “Angel I’m not going to talk if you don’t sit down.” I went to sit down or else this would take longer than it should. “Okay I’m sitting what’s going on?” “Arlo called you father escaped from rehab.” “How the fuck did that happen?” “We have no idea no one can tell us what happened.” “Maybe we should go back and look for him.” “Oh no we won’t, his a big man, he doesn’t have an illness like dementia that we have to be afraid something happened to him. His just throwing that tantrum you talked about. Arlo and the others are looking for him and I’m going to get Lucas and Elijah to get more men to look for him, we will get him and if I have to, I’ll get someone that won’t give him privileges like even walking out side.” “But his still my dad.” “He is but you have someone else you need to worry about as well angel you can’t worry about your dad.” “I know it's just a little bit difficult.” “Okay tell you what if we don’t find him in the next 3 days we can go back home, but you have to promise me you will not worry or else your blood pressure won’t go down and the doctor won’t like that.” “All I can promise is I’ll try.” “That’s good enough for me. There is someone in the kitchen making food if you want to grab something before dinner there is sandwiches in the fridge.” “I just want something to drink.” “The fridge is stock you go get yourself something while I talked to Lucas and Elijah.” “Okay.” I got up and kissed him on the cheek before I went to the kitchen where I found Rebecca she said her name was making the most delicious bolognaise sauce. I grab a soda and started to wonder around in the house. I found a TV room, sat my ass down on the coach and started to channel hop.
I ended up on the news I’m not sure why but I’m glad I did, there was a photo of my dad on the screen saying his missing and anyone with information should call the rehab center. “Romeo!” I basically screamed. He came running into the TV room. “What’s going on?” “Look” I said, he rewinds the news and saw what I saw my fathers face and the contact details of the rehab center. “Fuck” “You can say that again, he will never forgive us now everyone knows his in a rehab center.” “Angel this is not on us; he escaped this is his fault completely. If he didn’t escape this wouldn’t have happened but I will call them and ask them to remove it from the news we can handle this in house.” “You will?” “Yes, off course I will.” “Thank you, Romeo, his really going to be upset when he finds out about this.” “I’m going to tell you again this has nothing to do with us.” “I know but still.” “Please watch something else and try to calm down, or better yet come with me I’ll make a few calls and then we can take a walk on the beach before dinner.” “That sounds good.” Better than sitting here stressing about my dad.
