Kaylyn answered, “He’s the game warden in this area You and Jaris ht the horses so we could test how the dogs would react”

“The rancher,” he said “I remember him”

Nicole continued, “The tracks Jason and the others found caether by Syca on Stone Ranch met up there”

“Do you think this could be connected to Lunceford somehow?” Kaylyn asked

Chance’s gut tightened He wasn’t about to let anyone, let alone Destiny’s worst enemy, harm her

“Maybe,” the deputy said “We know for sure that Lunceford wants Belle, but we can’t figure out why he would shoot Kaylyn We can’t find the connection”

“The bastard has declared war on the whole town” Jaris’s tone held an edge of rage “We all knoould love nothing more than to burn Destiny and all its people to ashes”

Chance knew he could count on his friend to help protect Kaylyn “That creep is a complete psychopath No one is safe until he’s dead and buried”

“Or behind bars,” Nicole said

“Nicole, don’t give the law enforcement line” Jaris was as frustrated about what Lunceford had done to Destiny as anyone “We all know prison was never able to hold him”

The deputy sighed “True We actually don’t have a lot to go on now, but I’ Kaylyn”

“Nicole, please call Jason and s” The fear in Kaylyn’s voice crushed him

Chance understood her worry Not having Annie by his side didn’t sit right with hiht to the clinic

“We will keep looking for them I promise” Nicole was a fantastic person and law enforcement officer She cared deeply about her job and about the people of Destiny

Kaylyn’s cell rang “Oh boy It’s my mother Hi, Mom I’m fine”
