Chris parked his car at a safe distance from the warehouse where Vanessa had stopped and killed the engine.
The building before him loomed in the sunlight, its corrugated metal walls rusted with age and neglect.
Vanessa's car was parked haphazardly in front, and Chris had watched her slip inside a few moments ago. Now, he crouched low and moved closer, careful to stay hidden.
He scanned the area, his heart pounding. A second vehicle, a dark van with scuff marks along its side, was parked near the warehouse entrance. Chris recognized it instantly. It was the same one he had seen in the CCTV footage where Emma was dragged into.
The same van he had described to the police during the report—this was the vehicle used in Emma's abduction.
His breath quickened as the realization sank in. This was it. This was where Emma was being held.
