Nathanial looked like he wasn't certain Chase was being honest, but he was too polite to say so. He just rolled his eyes. "Whatever, you both need to listen to me because you weren't there when the call came. Your father isn't with Derek—at least, not where we believe Derek is right now. Which is with Aiden."
"Right now?"
"Well, it was a couple hours ago. But the point is, your dad wasn't there. That's a good sign. Maybe his car just broke down or something?"
I gape. "You are joking, right? Did you see my father? Did you see the fear in him?" I gasped.
"We have a team on Derek and they haven't seen him. He hasn't been living in the house with the others—Aiden and Amy. He just…visits. We think he'll leave your father alone as long as Amy's under their thumb."
I shook my head. I couldn't believe his naivete. Please, I pleaded with the light. Keep him safe. I'll do anything…
