Leonardo's POV
Sirens wailed through the air as squad cars swarmed the location. I jumped out of my vehicle and immediately spotted the car parked up ahead.
"Found it! That's our suspect's ride!" I yelled.
Lachlan and his team piled out of their car, all of us noticing the thick smoke pouring from the warehouse nearby.
"The warehouse is burning!" Lachlan shouted.
"Veronica could be trapped inside!" Panic clawed at my chest as the words left my mouth.
I saw that smoke and lost all rational thought. Grabbing a fire extinguisher from my car, I sprinted toward the warehouse entrance.
Lachlan waved frantically, directing his crew to hunt down more firefighting gear.
Flames already licked at the warehouse doorway. I searched desperately for any sign of Veronica, calling her name over and over.
"Veronica! Veronica! Are you in there?"
——
"Veronica..." Her voice came out as barely a whisper.
