Harrison is worried. Alex’s plane has not arrived. Checking at the hangar, the staff calls radio control and there has been no sign of the plane since leaving Dallas. Something is wrong. Calling Alexander, he gets voice mail. “Al, you need to give me a call as soon as possible. The plane is missing with Alexandra in it.”
He has to call Grayson, calling his cell, no answer. He calls the office and asks for Zoe. “Zoe, its Harrison. I need to speak with Grayson. Alexandra’s plane is missing. It never arrived in Chicago today. I was supposed to pick her up. I never heard from her, radio control hasn’t heard from the plane since shortly after takeoff in Dallas. I have called her dad and left a message to call, Grayson needs to come home.”
“Oh no this can’t be happening, Harrison, hold on.” Zoe bursts into tears, sobbing, trying to get her words out. “He’s in surgery Harrison. I will go tell him personally, don’t call his cell. I will get us a private flight to Chicago and call you on the way to the airport. In the meantime, keep me updated.”
“Millie, please book a private jet for Grayson and I and, possibly one more, to Chicago and cancel the rest of the week. Oh God, how do I tell Grayson Alex’s plane is missing? How do I tell him that Millie?”
Running to the surgery department, Zoe finds Grayson just finishing a procedure and walking out to talk with the family, so she waits. In a few minutes, he returns back to the lounge, “Grayson, we need to talk, Alexandra’s plane is missing. We have to go to Chicago.”
She wraps her arms around him, but she can see him crumbling, he sinks into the sofa, “How do you know this?”
“Grayson, Harrison called and her plane never arrived, they have had no contact with the plane since shortly after take-off.”
“Oh, Lord, please don’t let her be in harm's way, Zoe. I asked her to marry me last night and,” beginning to break, “we are having a baby.”
Zoe breaks into tears again, grabs Grayson’s arm and leads him back to the office. “Grayson, we are going to my house to pack a bag and you can call Alex’s roommate. We will go to your apartment, get your bag and pick up her roommate if he wants to go. Come on, let’s go, Millie is getting us a private charter. I have to call Harrison back.”
As Zoe calls Harrison, Grayson calls Cooper, who will meet them at the airport. “Give me the phone, Zoe. I want to talk to Harrison.”
“How in the hell did you know about the plane, H?”
“Alex asked me to pick her up at the hangar, but her plane was really late. She was going to surprise you by coming in quick to gather her things and fly back home tonight. I tried to call her and text her, but no response. The airport staff has had no contact since shortly after take-off. I tried to call her dad, but got his voice mail. He doesn’t know yet. G, you must know that Alex and I are only friends. There has never been anything between us. We are just Bears fans, that’s it. I’ve known from the beginning that she loves you.”
“I know, H, there is so much about her you don’t know. Another thing, we are engaged. We are having a baby,” almost speaking in a whisper, his voice cracking.
“G, hang on tight, just get here as soon as you can, we are going to find her. I have been making calls; we have local authorities and the FBI in on this. We will find her, I promise, just you and Zoe be safe. I’ll see you soon.”
As, Cooper, Zoe and Grayson boarded the plane, Alexander Morrison phoned Grayson. “Grayson, I have received demands from the hijackers...”
