“Nah. She has her house programmed into her GPS all we need to do is tell it to ‘go home’.”

Gavin shook his head. He’d have to suggest she change the address on her GPS to the closest police station. Programming home with your real address was a terrible idea. “See you there in a few.”

“My new toy is already benefiting you, little brother,” Gray said.

Gavin chuckled. “I’ll admit it looks fun to drive. Toss me your key fob. I’m driving.”

After dropping off Sam’s car, Scott climbed into the back of the Bronco. “Love the wheels, Gray.”

“How do you know it’s not mine?” Gavin asked.

Scott laughed. “I just know.”

“So, I’ve been thinking. When Grayson gets back with Jenna, maybe you and I can do a little breaking and entering.”

“Trying to convince me your wild like your big brother?”

“I’m serious. We have the resources and the skills. They could be holding Cate over at that Ricketts Estate. If she’s there, who knows what she’s enduring?”

Gray nodded. “I’m with you. Let’s go get our sister.”

“Not you. What I’m talking about doing could get me arrested, and Jenna won’t appreciate me dragging you into it.”

Samanthasatinsidethepop-up hunting blind she’d brought along to conceal herself from drones if they were deployed again. Darkness had descended, but she had her night vision goggles. Billy was close by if she needed him. He’d stayed on the paved road, headlights off, watching for trouble.

Her walkie talkie crackled. “See anything yet?” Billy asked.

“Nothing worth noting. A light went on in a back room and another in the basement.”

A chorus of spring peepers filled the air. Weather in the fifties the past few nights had no doubt brought them out. Closing her eyes for a second, she drank in the moment.

“Sam, there are two figures headed toward the property. See them yet?” Billy asked.

She scanned the area until she found them approaching the fence with wire cutters in hand. Prepared to do a little breaking and entering. “You’ve got to be kidding me?”

Billy chuckled. “Friends of yours?”

“Yeah. Now what? If we stop them we tip off the people inside that we’re on to them, but if we don’t we’re complicit in a crime.”

“Let’s see if we can stop them quietly. No arrests. No noise. Then we’ll regroup back at the park office.”

“You sure you’re okay with that Billy? I don’t want you to put your job on the line.”

“Let me worry about that. I’m retiring soon anyway.” She’d been hearing that line since she’d started working with him, but let it go. He wouldn’t retire until he was forced out.

“Do you mind joining me over here? A show of force so myfrienddoesn’t think he can talk me into letting him break the law.”

Sam moved silently toward the fence.

Scott bent down with wire cutters in hand, and Gavin flipped on his flashlight illuminating Samantha’s face and temporarily blinding her. “Sam, I, uh—“

“Save it, Gavin. Head back out to the road.”

“You know I have to find out if she’s in there.”

Billy had arrived, so she cleared her throat to let Gavin and Scott know they weren’t alone. “Ranger Stone, do you have your cuffs?”

“Of course. Never leave home without them,” Billy said.
