Filed to story: Rylee the Orphan Luna Novel
“More than good, they practically worship each other,”
“Text me his last known location and a recent photo of him,”
“Sure,”
“I’m also asking for $100,000,”
“Let me tell his family, one moment,” I cover the receiver, “He wants a hundred grand to find him,”
“Tell him I’ll double it if finds Wyatt in 48 hours,”
“Mr. Harrison, his girlfriend is willing to pay you to double if you can Wyatt in the next the 48 hours,”
“I see she’s desperate to find him, desperation shows me that money is not an issue and that she is truly scared,”
“You have no idea,”
“Very well, I accept the challenge, I will give you a call when I have any news, good day,” he hung up on me and I quickly sent him a photo of Wyatt and his last known location, which was the accident on the bridge. I looked at Rylee shocked that she would make such a bold move, but I agreed with the P.I., she was desperate.
“Thank you Victor, hopefully, this guy is as good as he seems,” I tell him.
“Malcolm won’t accept that money, I hope you know that Rylee,” she looked up at him. “Malcolm spills that the magic number to see who is really willing to pay whatever it takes to find someone,”
“How does he make a living if he doesn’t get paid?” Kendrick asked.
“Oh, he gets paid for his other work, you know cheating spouses, background checks on potential gold diggers, that kind of stuff, but when it comes to finding missing people, he does that for free, but he was a cop, so he’s cautious when taking on jobs like that. That magic number of a hundred grand is way of knowing if the person hiring him is involved or not. He’s learned that true victims who are desperate to find their loved ones will sell their own soul, and those that oppose the amount or get defensive are involved with the victim going missing,”
“Wow, he’s a smart guy,” I reply.
“He is, which is why I’m certain he will find Wyatt, in less than the time frame Rylee just gave,” we all nodded.
“Victor, are you hungry, son?” Ronan asked.
“Yeah, but I can wait, I don’t want impose anymore,”
“Nonsense child,” Grace said getting up. “Come sit, and I will have a plate made for you,” she said and forced Victor to sit with us. She went to the kitchen and we could hear her barking orders at the kitchen staff.
“Thank you, Victor,” Rylee said softly.
“Thank me when he’s found,” he replied bluntly. We all nodded while he ate his food. All we could now was wait.

“Hello?”
“Mr. Lexington?”
“Mr. Harrison?”
“I’ve found Mr. Valencia,”
“What?! Where!?”
“He was wandering aimlessly in Cleveland,”
“CLEVELAND!? What the f**k was he doing there?”
“I don’t know, I wasn’t actually the one who found him. A local recognized him and actually called the authorities in Detroit. My daughter works for Detroit dispatch, and was the one who alerted me of the call that came in, U.S. Marshalls have picked him up and are transporting him to the police headquarters downtown right now, he should be there with an hour,”
“Thank you, Mr. Harrison, I know you said you didn’t find him, but thank you for calling and letting us know. Please tell me how we can send the payment,”
“No need, when it comes to missing persons, I don’t take payment. I’m just happy that he is alive and well. Good luck to you,”
“Thank you again, thank you!” I hung up and ran straight to Rylee’s office where I know where everyone current was trying to strategize on how to find him. I don’t think I had ever run so fast up those five flights of stairs.
“HE’S BEEN FOUND!!!” I screamed while barging through the door.
“WHAT!?” they all asked standing from their seat.
“Harrison just called; Wyatt’s been found. He’s being transported to the police headquarters in the city, come on!” I don’t think I’d see people move so fast. Although everyone wanted to come, we decided to have Melody, Milan, Keaton, Irene, Victor, and Lorenzo hang back. Rylee, Kendrick, Grace, Ronan, and I went to go get Wyatt along with Angelo as the driver.
***Rylee’s P.O.V.***
I couldn’t believe it. I seriously could not believe it, but Wyatt was finally found. After seven agonizing torturous days, we were finally going to bring Wyatt home. I couldn’t understand why I felt our bond fading while he’s been gone, but just knowing that I’m going to see him soon, be in his arms was making me feel the butterflies, but I still couldn’t figure out why our bond still felt almost half empty. I figured it had to do with the fact that he was gone for so long, and according to Jason, he was in a completely different state. It had to be the distance. I was certain that being close to him again would make our bond strong.
The drive to the human police station took longer than we wanted, but Angelo tried to get us there as fast as he could without going too much over the speed limit. The anticipation to see Wyatt was killing me. I wanted to touch him, hug him, kiss him, and everything else in between. My anxiety was getting the best of me, and luckily Grace was holding my hand the entire way, but I could tell that she too was anxious.
“Rylee, Aunt Grace, he’s fine. He’s alive, and we’re going to see him soon,” Kendrick said from the seat behind us and put his hands on our shoulders. I just nodded and took a deep breath.
When we reached the police station, I was nervous because I had never been surrounded by so many humans before, let alone humans with guns. I could sense the occasional supernatural amongst them, but overall, at least 90% of the people in the building were human. I looked around a little nervous, but eventually, we made it up to the front desk,
“Hi, can I help you?” the lady cop asked us.
