5 Years Too Late **Edited 2024** Complete

Chapter 44: Found

Marco

I sit at my desk going over what Toby said.

I don't get how Spencer even likes that little punk.

I pull up the file on Kirk Philips, he's still a missing person.

His family is concerned about him, his wife stating if he was on the run he would've found a way to contact her but he hasn't in about a week.

I decide to track his car, since just yesterday Miss Phillips came in to report his car stolen.

Maybe he took it without her knowing.

The GPS pings the car just on the backroads on the hoarder of rosewood and ravenswood.

"Cavanaugh, Calderon, Richards! Have you guys signed out yet?" I yell

"No sir" Christina is the first to respond

"Not yet" Lorenzo reply's as Toby walks over with him

"You're with me, we've got a lead on a missing persons case" i state as I get up and grab my coat

"Which person?" Toby asks

"Kirk Philips" I state "let's move, Richards you're with me"

Toby

Fuck

A lead on Kirk.

Jesus.

"Lorenzo you drive" I state "I've just gotta use the washroom before we go"

I head to the washroom and pull out my phone quickly dialling Spencer's number

"Hey babe, everything okay?" She asks

"Babe listen, I don't know what yet. But we are leaving right now on a lead to Kirk. Who's now registered as a missing person"

"What?" She gasps

"I just wanted you to know. I gotta go I love you" I say and hang up.

"All good Toby?" Marco asks

"You called me Toby..." I say confused

"We may have an issue or two but at the end of the day I'm not a monster, he is your late fiancé's father, your child's grandfather and your girlfriends attempted killer. I'm sure this is affecting you in a way" he says with a small smile as he places his hand on my shoulder

"Thanks. I'm alright" I nod shooting him a small smile.

It's the nicest thing he's ever said to me

"Are you okay to be on the case? I asked you because Spencer is your girl and I'm sure finding some clues on him would make you happy but if you aren't okay then I'll ask someone else"

"I appreciate this thank you. I'm fine though, and if anything changes I'll let you know"

"Alright then let's move"

Spencer

Holy fuck they know.

They are gonna know

What if they find him

Our DNA is on him

Holy fuck

I'm going to jail.

We're all going to fucking jail.

I gotta call the girls.

Toby

We located his car that still has his keys in it, and there are multiple footprints on the trail, hard to tell the direction they are in as this is a commonly walked trail, people use daily for hikes and dog walking.
