she believes Thomas is her baby. We’re dealing with a psychosis break here.” Jess nodded. She hated the fact that she’d trusted this woman.
    Mike’s cell rang. “It’s Nikki. I hope she found something that could help us figure out where Lisa is headed.” Mike’s words calmed Jess enough to focus on what needed to be done. She needed to find her baby.
    “Nikki is sending the surveillance shot we discovered the other night from the prison. There’s a female visitor on the logs while Marshall was there.” Mark brought up the pictures on his screen. Jess and Tom moved closer to Mark to have a better look.
    “Is that Lisa?” Mike asked Jess and Tom.
    Jess brought her hand up to her mouth and gasped. She turned to Tom. “Oh my God, she visited Trevor in prison. Is this revenge on his death? Is that why she took our baby? Mike, can I talk to Nikki?” Jess held out her hand for his phone.
    Mike passed it to her without question.
    “Nikki, its Jess. Is there anything in Lisa’s apartment that will tell us where she’d go? Does she have friends on the east coast? Does she own properties anywhere?” One question after another rambled from Jess as she desperately hoped for some sort of clue. She needed to find her baby and now. She listened as Nikki quickly answered each question. Nikki told her there were no findings of pictures that would tell anyone she had friends. No ownership papers were found either.
    “Wait a sec, I’ve just run a check on her passport. She only used it once last year, the day after you shot Trevor. She travelled to Ontario, Canada. I’m searching further to see if I can find exactly where she went. I’ll get back to you as soon as I have something.”
    “Thanks Nikki, please hurry,” Jess pleaded.
    “And Jess,” Nikki said before Jess disconnected their call.
    “Yes?” Jess asked.
    “We’ll find him.”
    Jess ended the call and closed her eyes. She silently prayed Nikki’s words would come true and sooner than later. She needed to find her baby before Lisa took him out of the country.
    “Lisa used her passport to visit someone in Ontario, Canada last year; the day after I shot Trevor. Nikki is searching to find out where exactly.” Jess turned to Tom. Her chest felt as though a ton of bricks rested on it. She took short quick breaths. Pain struck her and she felt dizzy.
    Tom took her hand and led her to the sofa. “Jess, you should lie down before you have a panic attack.” He placed a cushion behind her head and one under her feet.
    She smiled and uttered, “We have to find Thomas.”
    Tom leaned down and kissed her on the top of her head. “We will Jess.”
    She hoped his promise happened soon.
    “I’m heading over to the Roberts’ residence. The girls mentioned they’d been here and went home to gather more food. They haven’t been back?” Gina asked as she entered the study.
    “Why the hell didn’t we check there first? We’re sending APBs out for airports and surrounding areas but she didn’t take our car.” Jess walked past everyone and started down the stairs.
    Tom followed her. “Mike stay here with Mark. Gina, come with me. You know we can’t stop her.”
    Jess walked out of the house and ordered one of the police officers to take her up the road to the Roberts’ residence. Tom and Gina got in the police car with her.
    Tom held Jess’s hand as they drove up the shore road. Within minutes, they arrived at the Roberts’ house. The car wasn’t anywhere in sight. Jess ran to the door. It wasn’t locked. The officer asked her to wait while he checked the premises. He drew his gun and entered the home. Minutes later, Jess heard him call out, “It’s clear.”
    Jess ran inside. The house was empty. She walked toward the patio when she noticed Thomas’s baby blanket on a chair. She picked up the wet blanket. “She was here with Thomas.”
    The officer asked Tom for the make and model of Henry Roberts’ vehicle and called it in.
    “They couldn’t
