“I'd have followed and tried to convince you, what would you do then?” Josie asks.
“You are doing this the wrong way,” Luke interrupts. “He was not raised like us. He probably knows about Greys,
but he may not know about bonds. Josie, what would you have done if I'd approached you at 17 and said you
were like me, and | was destined to be bonded to you for life?”
“I'd have been scared and gone into the most public place could find,” she says, scanning our surroundings.”
Let's assmost of these places were not open yet,” she adds, and then her eyes narrow on a fast food place
across the road. “There, it's open 24/7, I'd have gone in there to talk,” she points.
“Then let's start there,” Luke nods and we follow him.
Harper is not there, but after showing the staff a picture of her, a few of them think they remember her coming

Axel’s phone starts ringing, and he looks at the screen with a frown before answering
“Hello,” he says before pausing to listen.
“Yes it is. Thank you for calling, letput you on speaker so we can all hear you,” he says and then places the
phone in the middle of the table. “It’s Archie.”
| want to ask who the fuck Archie is, but Josie pulls the phone closer to her, eager to talk to him.
“Archie, thank you for calling. I'm Harper's mum. She used my phone to call you on your birthday. Have you

“Thank you, but I'm not sure that there’s much you can do right now. If she contacts you, can you call this
number right away?” Josie asks.
“Yes, | will. | hope she is okay. If there is anything else | can do, then just givea call,” he says, and Josie
thanks him before ending the call with a sigh.

We watch in silence as Harper takes a phone from her pocket and Dillon reaches over, placing a hand on the
phone and shaking his head as if stopping her. My blood begins to boil. He stopped her from calling us! The boy
says something and Harper seems to give a reluctant nod before the pair stand up and leave the restaurant.
“Can you pull up the outside camera to see which direction they went?” Luke asks.
The security guy nods and the image on the screen flicks to a feed from outside the restaurant and | watch as
