Audrey White returns to Los Angeles to hire Mick to help her find a missing boyfriend.
Beth was doing some research for Mick with she heard the familiar ping notifying her of an email. She quickly opened it and found it to be from Audrey White.
"Mick come look at this" She said motioning for him to come over. "You remember Audrey White? You saved her life from Donovan Shepard. Well, she just sent me an email, asking for your contact info"
Mick looked over her shoulder and read the email. It looked like she needed his professional services.
"Give her my phone number" Mick said and in 15 minutes his mobile rang. "Mick St. John" He answered.
"Mr. St. John.....you probably don't remember me.." She said.
"Audrey, I do remember you. Is everything okay?"
"Not really. You see I moved to British Colombia to get away from everything that happened in California.....but I think someone from the cult took kidnapped my boyfriend" She said in a shaky voice.
"Start at the beginning" Mick said.
"Well about three months ago, I kind of felt like I was being followed, so I hired a private detective and I was being followed. The PI got some very clear shots. His name is Jake Monroe and he was involved in the cult. He was one of Donovan's top guys but I just figured that it was a coincident that we both ended up in Canada. I mean a lot of people are moving here. But I told my boyfriend about it and he said he would talk to the guy, find out what he wanted and why he was following me. But that was five days ago and no one had heard from him. He hasn't showed up for work or talked to his parents. Then the PI I hired tells me that Michael, that's my boyfriend's name took a flight to Los Angeles yesterday
and that he was with Jake. Mr. St. John, I think he brainwashed my boyfriend" She said.
"Where are you now?"
"I just arrived in Los Angeles a couple of hours ago. I went to your apartment but was told you moved out, so I just contacted Beth since I still had her email address" She said.
"Listen, I want you to come to Kostan Towers, I'll meet you in the lobby okay?". Mick said and looked at Beth. "Looks like someone from Donovan's cult snatched Audrey's boyfriend and brought him here."
"I'll call Carl and see if he can get the file on the cult and their whereabouts" She said picking up the phone. "Why can't they leave the poor girl alone? She's been through enough"
"I'm going to find out" He said making his way to the lobby.
Audrey arrived in about 45 minutes.
"Hi Mr. St. John. Thank you so much for helping me" She said shaking his hand.
"Not a problem" He said walking her to his office. She saw Carl and recognized him from the Police Department. "You remember Carl Davis? He was a lead detective in the Shepherd case"
"Yes I do. Thank you for being here" She said as she took a seat.
"Tell me everything you know about Jake Monroe" Carl said.
"His family was from Walnut Grove, but he ran away and was just a street kid when Donovan recruited him, but he was very devoted to Donovan and his teachings. I mean he ate it up. Jake was more than a follower, he was an actual believer" She explained.
"Do you remember any of the old hangouts?" Mick asked.
"Well the ranch was demolished so the only other place I can think of is the tunnels underneath the Griffin Observatory. That's where Donovan held his sermons before he found the ranch" She said.
"Where are you staying?"
"I booked a room at the Freehand on W. 8th" She said.
"Carl will you go with her to collect her things and bring her back here. We'll set her up in one of the guest bedrooms. It's better for you to be here instead of a hotel on your own. I'm going to check out these tunnels" He said as he took off.
Mick whisked all around the observatory and found the tunnels hidden around back. There was a large boulder in front of the entry which Mick moved aside. He walked through the dark tunnel and came into an open space that looked like a home someone had built a long time ago. He could tell that folks had been squatting here for some time based on all the debris. There were books and take out containers that cluttered the entire area along with miscellaneous drug paraphernalia. He closed his eyes and took a quick sniff. He smelled aftershave and not the cheap stuff. That had to be from Audrey's boyfriend. I think I'll just camp out here and see what shows up he thought to himself.
Jake watched the officer pull up to the Freehand Hotel so he followed him inside. Jake got on the elevator before Carl did and held the door for him.
"What floor?" Jake said casually.
"8. Thanks" Carl said. He got off the elevator and walked to door 811 and opened the door. Carl quickly went through and collected everything Audrey had brought with her. Jake watched him bring the rolling suitcase with him as he checked her out and went back to his car. Jake followed him and saw him pull into Kostan Towers. There was no way Audrey was staying there he thought, but she must be as the detective picked up her stuff. It looked to be pretty darn secure as well. Maybe he'd send her a little gift from Donovan.
Audrey was pacing the floor holding her phone tightly.
"Audrey sit down. Mick will find your boyfriend. He will" Beth said reaching out for her hand.
"I just don't understand why I can't leave this all behind me! Why won't they leave me alone?!" She screamed.
"I don't know......Donovan had a lot of kids convinced that he was a savior. I'm sure some still think that but he wasn't. He was a serial killer who enjoyed hurting people and making them afraid. He was nothing!" Beth pleaded. She heard a knock on the door and went to the security monitor almost thinking that she'd see Donovan's face looking back at her, but saw it was Carl. "Thank God it's you Carl" She said sighing in relief. "We're getting a little jumpy here". She said looking all around. Suddenly Audrey's mobile began to ring and she saw it was from her boyfriend.
"It's Michael!!" She said excitedly and pressed the answer button. It was a video. A video of Donovan. He was staring straight at her.
"Hello Sweetheart" He said. Audrey screamed and dropped the phone.
"It's him!! He's back!! Oh God!!" She cried and fell to the floor sobbing. Carl walked over and picked up the phone and saw the video play he then showed it to Beth.
"Its just a video clip" Carl said "Looks like Jake wants to scare the hell out her, but why? Shepherd's dead and he's not coming back, so why is he after you?" Carl asked.
"Because I lived" Audrey said. "He wants me dead because his savior is dead because of me and my testimony" She cried.
Mick walked some more through the tunnels and saw evidence of someone being there recently. He spied a receipt on the ground and bent down to pick it up. Something hard hit him over the head as he fell to the ground.
