Amy In Danger

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Lou came home about 3pm and started Dinner,  then Lisa returned about 4pm and Jack 15 minutes later.
"Dinner won't be long, have you heard anything about Carl because Amy is frightened to death he's going to get her and kill her".
"I know Lou, I've been with the Police trying to get them to realise how dangerous he is and that he threatened Amy's life".
"So what's going to happen".
"Nothing, they released him on bail again but told him this was his last chance".
"You have to be kidding me".
"Talking of Amy, where is she Lou".
"In her room I assume".
"Well I didn't see her Truck when I came home".
Lou ran to Amy's bedroom, it was half empty and she'd taken her own bed Linen and pillows, then she saw a letter on the Matress.
Lou walked back into the Kitchen.
"Amy's gone, she's ran away to get as far away as she can from Cal, she heard him this morning and his threats".
"When you and Lou were arguing with him I went to check that she was alright but I couldn't see her  eventually I saw her hiding in a corner crying and shaking like a leaf".
"Lou does she say where she's going ".
"No Grampa she Just says she needs to put a couple of 1000 kms between him and her, she also mentions that she doesn't feel safe, and Dad obviously isn't interested in her anymore and she feels like shes been abandoned by him again because as soon as there's drama he disappears to Moose Jaw".
"Well let's hope she gets in touch soon, have you tried her phone Lou".
"Jack, I Just tried and its switched off".
"And where the hell is Tim, did you explain that she was attacked Lou".
"Yes Grampa,  I told him everything and to get back as soon as possible ".
"I don't call 5 or 6 days as soon as possible ".

Meanwhile Amy had a 39 hour drive ahead of her and she still couldn't believe she was on a salary of $7,000 a Month for the first 3 years then she'd get $11,000 a month as an Equine veterinarian,  she'd turned her phone off and brought another with a new number,  she'd keep her old one in her safe in the Trailer.
As soon as she's settled in St Raymond Quebec she needs to find a Doctor to confirm  how far along she is in this pregnancy and look for a baby sitter while she's working as a single mother.
There was one person she would keep in touch with as long as he kept it quiet about being in touch with her.

The following day at Heartland Ranch  there sat eating breakfast when the house phone rings,
"Hello Heartland Ranch ".
"Tell Amy she gonna pay for giving me the ring back".
"Cal, stop with the threats, after what you've done she's Ran Away and we have no idea where she's gone".
Jack put the phone down.
An hour hour later Tim turns up.
"Morning all, any coffee I'm parched after that drive".
"Since when has come home ASAP Amy needs you turned into 6 days Tim".
"What, Amy had you, Lisa and Lou".
"Do you actually give a Dam about your Daughter,  it was you she was asking for not us".
"Well I'm here now, where is she".
"Gone Dad,  she was scared for her life and in the letter she left for us she said that she doesn't mean anything  to you anymore now you have Shane, Cal could of killed her Dad and he'd raped her, beaten her up on a number of occasions,  so when you didn't come home to protect her she Ran away".
"Ran Away,  where to, we need to start looking".
"You think we've been sat on are Arses doing nothing.  There's no sign of her. It's possible she's changed her name so Carl can't find her".
"Why doesn't she want him to find her there supposed to get  married aren't they ".
"Jeesh, are you really that thick Tim, Lou told you about him trying to kill her in the Loft and then throwing her down the stairs, Lou found her thankfully ".
"Well no one told me".
"Yes I did Dad, but as usual you do not listen".
"So what do we do now".
"Nothing we can do".
Jack got up and went off to check on the Herd. Tim sat down trying to think.
Not long later someone bursts through the door and walks quickly to  Amy's room. Tim follows and see's Carl, "Get out of my daughters room".
"Where is she".
"We don't know because of you".
Tim puts him in an arm lock and takes him outside,  let's him go,  then punches him Hard, a knock out .
Not long later the police turn up.
"He'll stay locked up now till his trial in two weeks".

Two weeks later Amy phoned her friend and found out Carl got 12 years. Amy explained she had a good Job and was looking for a place to rent.
Amy's Boss was great and she accepted that Amy was pregnant but she didn't know the day they spoke.
"Amy can you do this call out, he's been a regular for years when he was breeding horses,  but he's retired now and he has a cottage sat empty that his ranch hand used to live in and a barn you could put Spartan in".
"Really, how far away is it Beth".
"About 15 minutes ".
"Thank you".
Elisabeth was Amy's Boss and already she was blown away by how good Amy was, she's a natural she had mentioned to one of her friends.
Beth also agreed after hearing Amy's story to change her name to Amealia Bartlett, her first name was her original one but everyone called her Amy, so it was Just her surname that changed.
Amy had also registered with a Doctor  who checked her over and confirmed she was 12 weeks pregnant,  Amy asked about not having any morning sickness and the Doctor told her that 30% of women do not get any symptoms at all.

Back at Heartland Lou had news to share, Mitch had asked her to marry him.
