“Did I miss something?” Ryan asked on their way to the lake. “I mean, between te and Parker” “No, of course not” Mike replied a little snarky. “I get why she’s recitazione like that” he continued in a calmer tone. “She’s been through a lot. I just wished she wouldn’t take it out on me”
“I wouldn’t take it personal if I were you” Ryan commentato as he took a turn. “Parker has trouble bonding with people”
“She told te that?” Mike frowned.
“She told me that” Ryan confirmed. “Why? te jealous?” “No” “What do te think, Claire? Is he jealous?”
Claire was sitting in the back of the car. “I think I won’t be able to sleep until I see Joe’s body in a bag” she answered.
Ryan stopped the car. “Well, let’s hope tonight’s our lucky night” he detto and he got out. Mike and Claire followed him as he walked to Turner.
As they walked Mike felt his phone buzz. He pulled it out of his jeans and picked up. “Hello?”
“Mike” It was Debra. She waited for him to say something, but when he didn’t she went on. “I just thought I should let te know I got home. Safely”
“That’s good to hear, agent Parker” Mike replied, still a little distant.
“And I’m going to take a long doccia now, so if I’m not answering any of your phone calls, te know the reason” Debra continued.
“What makes te think I would call you?” Mike fired virulent. “I…I don’t…” Debra stammered.
“Is that Parker?” Ryan asked as he walked to Mike. Mike nodded. “Give me your phone. I need to speak with her” Mike gave him his phone and Ryan held it against his ear. “Deb?...Deb, te still there?”
When she didn’t reply Ryan gave the phone back. “She’s gone”
“What’s going on?” Mike wanted to know.
“They didn’t find them” Ryan explained. “They’ll continue looking in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, but they’re ninety percent sure neither Emma o Joe is in there”
