"H ere are your keys, Mr. Weaver. So good to meet you.” The man stood and shook Landen’s hand. “My card is in your file so if you need anything at all, just give me a call .”

“Thanks, Mr. Camden.” Now, Landen finally had a place to call home. His hand shook as he wrapped them around the cool metal. He rolled his thumb back and forth across the jagged edge of the house key and realized his heart was racing. Owning a house was going to be different than the apartment he’d been used to for years .

“Jack, please.” He grinned as he handed Landen the file. “Welcome to town. I hear you were a hero the other day. People are already talking about you .”

“I’m no hero. I was just doing my job .”

“That’s not entirely true. Don’t be so modest. This is a small town, no matter the population. We look after our own.” Jack beamed. “You have no idea who you saved in that fire, do you ?”

Landen shrugged. “Not really. He was someone who needed my help .”

“I think this town is going to like you, son. You saved the father of one of the town council, in visiting for the week. My guess is that you have a friend for life.” He walked around his desk .

“Thanks. Couldn’t have done it without my team .”

Jack slapped him on the back. “I like you, myself. Let me walk you out .”

As Landen walked out of the office, he could see several sets of eyes following him, coming from both men and women .

“Like I said, small town. If you ever need anything, give me a call. Everything should be in order, but you can never tell. You’re about four miles from any other ranch, so something to keep in mind .”

“I like to be alone.” Very much alone. Landen grimaced as he thought the words .

“I understand. You jumpers are all alike. Private. Don’t share much with folks, but we care about you. We really do .”

“Thanks again .”

Landen shoved the keys in his jeans and tossed the file onto the passenger seat. As he started the engine, he thought about the town council member. Maybe this could help with garnering evidence against Jeffries Development. Maybe .

How the hell was he supposed to gather any information? He didn’t know anything about the town or the people. As he headed out of the city limits, he stopped and bought two of the local papers as well as a six pack of beer. At least he could get a feel for the players in town. He thought about stopping at Shannon’s house, if for no other reason than to pick up Jace, but what was he supposed to say to her? There was no easy way of letting her know his feelings .

Snorting, he turned on the radio. Who the hell did he think he was? Feelings? Right now, he was numb from the visions. Being exhausted only added to the tenseness remaining in his muscles.
