Jensen woke after a surprisingly restful sleep. The remainder of the morning, which he confirmed by peeking around the curtains, passed eventless. Jessika was growing excited to see him, but she withheld surprising Micah and Gabriel of his imminent arrival. Mostly because Jensen wasn’t sure when he would actually arrive.
He sent a couple of messages to Jay without response. He even knocked on Jay’s door to no answer. Thinking they might be asleep, he gently rapped on Natalie’s, but it remained shut. Wondering where they were, he finally chose the Carpenters’ room. Caroline opened it swiftly.
“I can’t find my daughter!” She exclaimed. Jensen blinked in surprise a few moments until he realized the profound meaning of her distress. Cayli was unaccounted for after Jay’s warning.
“I’ll help you look,” Jensen said. They departed in one another’s company, but on the brief elevator ride downward, he uttered a few prayers, which seemed to calm Caroline somewhat.
“We’ll find her,” he assured her before they split into opposite directions.
He searched the casino floor before the restaurant. Outdoor patios were skimmed, followed by a couple of conference rooms.
Finally, he was outside when Caroline sent him a message. Found her. Swimming of all things.
Jensen typed back: Thank God.
With the search ended, adrenaline seeped from his body, and Jensen realized he was quite deficient in coffee and food.
