Mercy's Debt (Montgomery's Vampires Series Book One)
Page 17
Robert set the phone down and touched his comrade on the shoulder. “Would you mind leaving me for a moment?”
“Of course not. I’ll just wait outside.”
“Thank you, Carl. You have always been a good friend to me.”
Carl left the kitchen, and Robert busied himself by looking through every cabinet and drawer. He found nothing of use, not a single clue as to where Mercy might have gone.
Frustrated, he started towards Mercy’s bedroom; perhaps there was some clue he had overlooked. Remembering her cell phone, he turned and headed back into the kitchen.
He froze, seeing for the first time the crumpled paper ball in the corner of the room. He snatched it up from the floor and smoothed it out on the counter.
He let out a gasp and ran to the front door. “Carl! Come quick!” he called out, and then returned to the note in the kitchen.
He positioned the paper next to the notepad, holding both up to the light. The indentations matched. This was the last note Mercy had written.
“What is it?” Carl asked breathlessly, sprinting into the room.
“I need you to go home and prepare my travel casket,” Robert commanded. “We are traveling to Florida to find Mercy.”
