Chapter 364: I don't understand

Pickle POV

"I already told you Mr.Smith-Spencer no one left her room after you both come in at eight ten. The door was never opened till four eleven when you knocked." The security guy says looking at me and the police.

"That's fucking impossible!" I say waving around "Should we check in here again!" I say pushing the bed over and walking in the bathroom "THERE'S NO WHERE ELSE SHE COULD HAVE WENT!! I scream at him.

"Oh bubba!" I turn as I see Chailor, Lincoln and Ted in the doorway. The tears come as soon as Chailor hugs me.

"She couldn't have just disappeared! She was here! Now go do your fucking job and find my daughter or I'll sue you all!" Ted yells coming over and hugging me.

"I want her call and visit logs now and I want all your surveillance videos and access to the surveillance sent here." Lincoln says handing the guy a paper.

"Brain's on it. He'll call if he gets anything."

"Mr. Spencer like I already told your guy on the phone earlier the system had a security update and there isn't any footage."

I throw the chair across the room shattering it against the wall. "Someone took her! That's too big of a coincidence!" I yell.

"I didn't even hear anything! That's impossible! I'm not a heavy sleeper. I usually wake when she moves." I say dropping to the floor.

"Draw his blood." A detective says "Last week at a different facility two girls went missing and her father had been drugged by some kind of cake or cookies a man had given her."

"Cookies?" I say jumping up. I quickly look over the room "There was a tin with cookies in it from her friend Johnny. I think he's a patient here." I can't see it anywhere.

"Where are they?" I say looking for the cookie tin.

"We don't have a Johnny here sir, I'll check nicknames." The manager says.

"He was here yesterday and he says I've met him before."

"Okay so this week looks like it was just her brother Ryder who came to see her. He was here Saturday after Mr. Mumford and Mr. Burks left, then again twice on Sunday. He wasn't here Monday but he was here just before you got here last night." The security guy says.

"No your wrong Ryder and Flame are still in Mexico and have been for over a month." I say taking his log. That's his name in the log.

"Pull the footage." I say looking over his shoulder at the camera feed.

"Here's the check in footage." He says. I look over the ID scan sheet. "His photo is black you didn't think that was a fucking problem! Any fake ID picture goes black when scanned!"

He waves over a young woman she's new. "It wasn't like that I swear. It was a normal ID. Mr. Smith is sweet he's always here with her for group and dinner time. He even walks with her after dinner on the trail." I nod, she must be confusing him with Sheldon.

"Your thinking about Sheldon. Red hair he's tall." She shakes her head.

"No he has brown hair and blue eyes. Super cute smile. He's a huge flirt." I look at her.

"He took me dancing a few nights ago. He's a amazing dancer." She says blushing.

"No that's impossible."

"I know I'm not supposed to date anyone I met here but we just have this amazing connection and the way he is with his sister is.. he's just a sweet guy."

I quickly get in her face.

"Your wrong! Ryder is paralyzed, he will dance with his fiance if he has to but he doesn't like dancing! That isn't Ryder! FUCK!!"

"No it is. Look here a picture of him and River yesterday. I took it for him."

I rip her phone out of her hand "That's him! That's Johnny!"

"Brain I don't know! I'm sending you a picture. This fuck is claiming to be you, he introduced himself to me as Johnny he looks familiar but I can't place him. Find out who the fuck he is!"

"Where is he? How the fuck can you people be so fucking stupid!"

"Sheldon, I'm in here!" I say loudly.

He crashes into me. Holding me tight for a long while.

"What are you guys doing to find her!" He says turning to the detective.

"Get me everyone who is available! I'll double their overtime! She is somewhere, now get away from me. Marco make sure they do their jobs!" Lucas yells rushing in the door to me.

"Pickle my boy. I got everyone on it. We will find her." He says hugging me. Lucy rushes in and hugs me tightly.

Ten hours later

"You had GHB and a sedative in your blood panel. Probably from the cookies you said he gave you guys. They can't find her doctor or any of her blood logs for the last three days." Ryder said over video call.

"This can't be happening." I say shaking my head "It's like she just disappeared." I say not trying to stop my tears from falling.

"Nate and Emerson are on the way here with Annie. She's pissed that she has to come back to Mexico but Flame promised her she can fight at the children's center in the ring."

I laugh. "Of course she agreed, she's definitely Lucky's kid."

"It will be okay brother. We'll find her." He says. I can hear him clicking away.

"What the fuck! Is that? That doesn't make sense that's impossible. Pickle look at this footage from her room."

I open the laptop and pull up the file. I gasp as I watch a man in dark clothes come in her room. His head is covered by his hoodie but I notice the way he pushes the door closed. He is missing a hand. I gasp.

He goes to her and just watches her for awhile. She wakes up and wraps her arms send his neck he doesn't move for a minute then he pulls her tightly against his body. They talk for a minute then he kisses her and sits holding her till she falls asleep. He stands and looks at the camera briefly before he hurries out.

"It wasn't a dream!" I cry as I watch it again.

"It was him right?" Ryder says. I jump at his voice I forgot he was still on here. We've gotten reports over the months of people spotting him, more facial recognition pulling him up on video different places, different countries doing different things but it's him.

"I don't understand why he doesn't just come home." I say sadly playing it again. I jump as glass shatters behind me.

"That's... that's him." I grab Sheldon and pull him to me holding him tightly.

"No.. why? Why wouldn't he just come home." Sheldon voice cracks as he watches the video playing behind me.

"I don't know. We'll find them both." I say trying to convince myself as well as him.
