Chapter 6: New York

The next day…

Ever since the first report about Michael Cortez, Nat and the guys have been watching the news for any updates on him. They hoped that when he was captured that the police would find Rosalina as well, even though it wasn’t likely. They hadn’t seen anything since the previous day, but it wouldn’t be too long before Thomas and David saw something…

“Nat! Cooper!” the two yelled running into the Wolff residence. Nat and Cooper, along with Alex and Qaasim, were startled by the boys’ sudden arrival.

“Guys, what’s wrong?” Nat asked getting up off the couch.

“We just saw another report on that Cortez guy!” Thomas said.

“What did it say?” Cooper asked.

“It said he was spotted heading towards Colorado,” David answered.

“Colorado? Why would he go there?” Alex asked.

“Who knows man,” Qaasim said. “Who knows?”

Meanwhile, on the streets of Denver, Colorado…

Michael Cortez was using his tracking device to find Rosalina. He kept a hood over his head and sunglasses over his eyes to avoid being recognized.

I’m getting close, he thought to himself. That brat is going to pay for delaying my trip to Japan. I could easily go without her, but who knows if she’s gone to the police or not.

Michael came up to an alley as the signal on his device got stronger. He was right in front of the tracker, but there was no sign of Rosalina. He looked down and saw the tracking tooth.

Son of a bitch! Now there’s no telling where she went.

Michael grabbed the tooth and turned off his device. He walked away from the spot as his anger rose.

Where could she be heading?

He had gone back to his van and sat in the driver’s seat. He spent a while thinking where Rosalina was heading. Then, it clicked.

New York…
