Chapter Five

As soon as he realized Jenny was at the barn, Caid whipped the utility vehicle around and raced back toward the house. She’d been sleeping when she left, looking adorable with her head resting against the wall, the binoculars slack in her hands. He’d thought he’d been quiet when he’d left the house and said a prayer she wouldn’t awaken. He should have known she’d be in the middle of the action.

He motioned to Bull to take the man on his right, Logan going for the one on his left. Her brother had been watching the far side of the pasture at his request, and having the three of them together made it like old times. Except instead of the Taliban, they were fighting assholes exploiting Jenny’s cattle to make money. He wasn’t sure which group was worse.

He swung at the man in front of him. The man went down with a grunt, and Caid quickly jumped on him, flipping him over and fastening his wrists with zip ties. He disabled his legs in the same manner, then turned toward Logan who was fighting two more men. True to form, Jon had bolted, the sound of squealing tires announcing his departure from the barn. No doubt he’d encounter the sheriff’s deputy stationed not far down the road.

Bull came at them, seeing Logan and diving into the fight to support him. The woman he’d been chasing must have gotten away. Damn it, that possibly made two of them. From the way these men worked, Caid pegged them for hired muscle, told just what to do and nothing more, lest they give away the entire mission. He scowled and hurried for the barn.

For a moment his heart dropped, not finding Jenny. A moment later her head poked up over a half-open stall door and she rushed forward. Caid held up his hand. “Let me make sure it’s safe. Stay put.”

It seemed like a lifetime, but only was a few more minutes before he returned and pulled her into his arms. “You okay? Why didn’t you stay in the house?”

She flinched at the bark in his words. “I woke up and you were leaving. I won’t be left behind again. I came to the barn to saddle Daisy. Jon was here.” Her voice shook. “I stabbed him with the pitchfork.”

His admiration for her ratcheted up several notches. “He didn’t hurt you?”

She shook her head. “No. I think he wanted to kidnap me.” She swallowed hard, her shuddering breath audible in the darkened barn. “I bit him and when I got him with the pitchfork, he ran. I don’t think he expected me to fight back.”

“Good for you,” he said and meant it. “The pitchfork gave you distance, though your brother taught you how to punch, right?”

She answered with a chuckle. “Yeah.”

“Good. The next time that bastard gets close to you, hit him with everything you got.”

“Next time?” She shivered in his arms.

Two thuds and the groan of a downed man made her jump.
