A Cowboy's Love (Ford Brothers Book #3)

Chapter Thirteen: Jackson

"I Think I know where Amelia is." I tell my family as we gather around the kitchen island.

"Where do you think she's at?" Lucas asks me as he pours a cup of coffee.

"Did anyone drive by the shack where Charley was?" I tentatively ask, not wanting to upset her or Nate.

"I didn't think to look there. I try to forget that place." Nate admits.

"We didn't go that way either." Aidan says from the doorway.

"That's where she must be." I declare. I do not know if she there, but I have to believe that she is.

"When do you want to go?" Ryan asks from beside mom.

"As soon as possible."

"It's not even four yet! The sun is still down." Ryan remarks.

"We can't wait. The sun will be up soon enough, but what if he decides to leave before sun up to get away without being seen?" I ask him.

"I agree with Jackson." Mom replies taking my side.

"I agree too. Y'all go change while us women get your coffee to go." Charley says as she stands up from her seat with Nate's help.

After we were all dressed and ready to go we met everyone in the kitchen. True to her word all the women were handing out travel mugs. I know that it will be hard on Nate to go back to the shack, but he is putting it aside to help me. I am thankful for all of my brothers for standing beside me during this difficult time.

"Bring her back home." Charley says as she hands me the travel mug that she is holding.

"I will." I state as I turn around and follow my brothers out the door.

Outside we split up into two groups. Lucas, Nate, and I head for Lucas' truck while the other three head for Grayson's. When Grayson turned around and started up the drive, Lucas put his truck in gear following close behind them to the run down shack. This is the only place left to look and I am praying that we will find her there. After all this someone should really burn that place down. We do not need another kidnapping to take place there.

************

I had a gut feeling that she would be here and now that we have conformation that she is here; I have hope that we made it in time. We could make out a small car that is parked behind the shack. Lucas found it as soon as we pulled off on the side of the road. Now that we have found her we have to come up with a plan to save her. We made a plan last time when Charley was here, but he moved her before we could get a inside look of the place.

"I'm going to send mom a text to tell her that we found Amelia and to put a call into the station." Lucas says from beside me.

"Are we actually going to wait for the cops this time?" Ryan questions.

"Nope, same plan as last time. Jackson and I will be going inside to get Amelia. Ryan and Nate will watch the front side while Grayson watches the back door." Lucas says giving us our orders.

"What will I be doing?" Aidan asks from my other side.

"You will be watching from here. We will need someone to meet the cops when they show up." Lucas tells him.

"Why do I have to wait here?"

"We don't have time for this." I state.

"Jackson is right, we don't have time to waste. Does everyone understand the plan?" Lucas questions the group.

"Yes."

"Yep."

"Good, now let's get Amelia out of there and get her back home safe." He replies as we break apart to get into our places.
