Rick sat beside me and gently ran a hand across the small of my back."Shellshocked," I replied, keeping my voice close to a whisper."I can't believe this is happening.Never mind me, how are Michael and Julia?"Rick sighed."Strange as it may sound, I think it's probably best to leave them alone for the time being.This is going to be one hell of a day.""And you? Luke's your son, of course.You must be in pieces right now." I squeezed his hand."I'm okay," Rick replied, his voice breaking slightly.I didn't completely believe him."We'll get him back.This is almost certainly about money and I've got plenty of that."Martin Farrell, the inspector who had been placed in charge of finding Luke, walked over to us and crouched down."I don't want to alarm the others, but I think it's important we know what we're dealing with here.It's almost certainly going to affect you in the sense that they are going to demand a ransom.""I know," Rick sighed."We were just talking about it.""Well, we don't know exactly how this is going to pan out yet but I will warn you that it's not our policy to negotiate with kidnappers.We'll talk to them, sure.But if they think they're going to get any money, they're sadly mistaken."Rick shook his head."The money isn't a problem.""You don't know how much it is yet," Martin smiled."Besides, we have ways and means of handing over fake cash if it comes to that.But it's a big if.The intention should always be to resolve this peacefully and find Luke safe and well.""And the kidnappers?" I asked."Oh, don't worry, Miss.Those sons of bitches won't get away with this.Dealing with something like a kidnapping is never fun.But I don't tolerate involving a child.No way."Rick took a deep breath and looked to the ceiling."What else is being done, officer?""Well, it's only been just over forty minutes since the first call.We have a trace put on your line courtesy of your cellphone company.In addition to that, we have teams looking at any CCTV footage in and around this property from just before, during and after the abduction.It's almost certain we'll find something, but we just have to wait.Time is of the essence right now.Our people are working as quickly as they can to find any clues as to what happened.The second they know something, we'll know too."I leaned forward."You said time was of the essence? Why is that?""Well, again, I don't want to alarm anybody.But the reality is we have to find Luke sooner rather than later.The longer this goes on, the more time whoever took him has to get further away.Right now they can't be too far.They're almost certainly travelling by road, which gives us a fairly tight radius to work with.Air traffic control is on high alert, just in case somebody wealthy has a helicopter at their disposal.But I really don't think that's what we're working with.Something tells me this is going to begin and end right here in LA."We were suddenly startled by the sound of Rick's phone jumping to life.Multiple police officers gathered around and both Julia and Michael came running.I felt sick, literally and figuratively, as Rick slowly picked up the phone."Like I said, we have a trace on the line.Put it on speaker so we can all hear
