Page 6 of Protection for Asher (Safeguarded By The SEAL #4)

Squat and Thario spent most of Saturday looking for Asher. As they were eating dinner, Apple called and asked what he was doing.

“I’m at Thario’s. We’re doing research on a human trafficking ring.”

“Why?”

Squat blew out a breath. “A friend is missing. I got word that she was taken by a trafficking ring, and we're looking.”

“Dammit, you should have called.”

“Sorry, we were in the weeds of it and didn’t think to contact anyone else.”

“I’ll round up the gang. Have you all eaten?”

“Yes.”

“We’ll be there in a bit.”

“Thanks, man.”

He hung up and met Thario’s gaze. They hadn’t found much luck, and Thario looked dead serious.

“I’m glad they’re coming. They can help search. We’ll cover more information.”

Squat rubbed his forehead. “I’m going to go crazy with worry.”

“You'll be okay because you have to be. We'll either find her or find the people who took her. Once we know who they are, you guys can make sure to deliver karma.”

Squat nodded. “Karma would be good.”

Less than thirty minutes later, the guys from his team began showing up. Having extra eyes helped get through more information. Though they hadn’t found the exact group, they had been able to mark a few people off their list.

Going back to work on Monday was difficult. Thario promised to keep looking, but the search would slow down to a snail’s pace. He needed to find Asher. He could imagine what was happening to her, and that was the problem. She had to be scared to death.

Looking for the people who’d taken her wasn’t easy. The group was operating under every radar. They were hiding well, but eventually he would find them, and then they would pay the price of taking someone special to him.
