“Who saw Timothy last?” Quinn was not in a friendly mood and did not have time to make any small talk.

“I believe that was my wife, Martha. Let me get her for you.”

“Fine. Jess, get a statement from Mrs. Miller and be quick about it.”

Quinn pushed his way through the gaggle of plain folk gathered around Hannah. He did not take notice of who he bumped into or shoved, he just wanted them out of the way. Hannah was red-eyed with tears flowing freely down her cheeks. Quinn, not caring who saw them, wiped the tears from Hannah’s eyes.

“I knew you would come. You’re a good friend, Quinn.”

“I will always come when you need me, Hannah.” Quinn’s voice was barely a whisper.

The women gathered in tighter around Hannah as if to protect her from Quinn. He was an Englisher, an outsider, and even if he was the Sheriff he was too close to Hannah for their comfort. Quinn lost what little cool he had.

“I want every last one of you off this porch. NOW! I need to question the boy’s mother and I don’t have time for interference. A boy’s life is at stake so please do as I ask. Anyone who knows anything needs to meet with my deputies and give them as much information as you can.”

The porch cleared quickly. Deference was given to Quinn’s authority as the law. Hannah was sitting in a rocking chair. Her face was ghostly pale.

“They took my boy, Quinn. I’m so afraid the men who killed Eric have taken my boy.”

“We don’t know that, Hannah. Let’s just focus on searching the woods and all around the house right now. As I recall Timothy has a penchant for running off and hiding. But just in case, I need to ask you some questions. Tell me who all has been here today. I want to talk to anyone who may have talked to Timothy. Are the Yoders here?”

“I think so. They were here earlier. Why?”

“I just want to keep track of everyone and I’ll have to start with people I know. Listen, I’m going to get everybody who can help look for Timothy organized into a search party. I’ll be back to talk to you shortly. Hannah, I will find him. I give you my word I will find your boy.”

“I know you will, Quinn, just like I knew you would come.” Hannah grabbed Quinn’s hand and squeezed it hard in an effort to reassure them both.
