“I’VE GOT something.”

Finn was exhausted by the time he got to James’ house. One look at his brother, though, told him that he was doing better than at least one member of the family. Ally sat next to James, holding his hand and murmuring quietly. He had no idea what she said, but Finn was almost mesmerized watching his siblings interact.

“They’ve been talking for an hour straight,” Grady said, keeping his voice low. “She’s the only one who has been able to keep him calm. I have no idea what she’s saying to him, but he’s listening and talking back to her. He’s not yelling or anything.”

Finn furrowed his brow. “Has he been yelling?”

“Screaming is more like it,” Jake said, his eyes never leaving Ally’s sad face. “She’s magic.”

“Oh, geez, we have another lovesick cow on our hands,” Grady groused, lightly cuffing the back of Jake’s head. “You’re just as bad as James.” Grady realized his mistake as soon as the words were out of his mouth. “I didn’t mean that.”

“I know,” Jake said, waving off the apology. “We’re all going through it. We know what will happen if we don’t get Mandy back.”

“Oh, we’re getting Mandy back,” Finn said. “It took forever … and I swear I’ve been looking at gun purchase documents so long my eyes want to bleed … but I’ve figured it out.”

“You’ve figured it out?” Grady asked, dubious. “What, exactly, have you figured out?”

“I know who has Mandy.” Finn made the announcement a little louder than he planned, and when he shifted his eyes to the left he found James’ haggard face hovering a few inches from his own. “Cripes, man. Make a sound when you do that. Oh, and you might want to shave.”

James grabbed the front of Finn’s shirt and yanked him closer. “Who has my baby? You said you know.”

“I think I do know,” Finn said, wrenching away from James’ iron grip. “Has anyone considered making him shower?”

“We’re just glad he’s not drinking or threatening to kill someone,” Grady said. “Seriously, though, I have to agree with him right now. For the record, I think he’s borderline crazy because he hasn’t slept. You’d better tell us what you have.”

“Well, I was going through Red’s records and coming up empty,” Finn said. “I thought about giving up, but I knew I couldn’t do that. I decided to go through a second time and just focus on the last names.”

James was at his wit’s end. “And?”

“And I found a last name that kind of … jolted me,” Finn replied. “When I added the first name to the last name, it didn’t stand out. When I just took the last name into consideration, though, it did. Then I ran the entire name through our database and found out that the name on the registration belongs to the mother of someone we know.”

“What was the name on the registration?” Jake asked, curious. “I looked at all of those registrations and nothing stood out.”

“Yes, because we weren’t looking for an Abigail Phillips,” Finn said.
