Luke trudged through the snow, ignoring the wet flakes pelting his cheeks as he searched for his son. LJ had been missing for twenty minutes. Every minute he was gone, Luke’s sense of desperation grew.

Around him, he could hear the other men searching, including the police trooper that had joined them on foot. They’d all spread out to cover more area. Luke veered to the right, taking the path that would lead him behind the lumberyard. The path was rocky, and he stumbled more than once over tree roots and debris. His shoulder still ached from being impaled with the wood from the barn.

He wouldn’t let himself be distracted by the injury.

Part of him worried about what would happen if he found the man. Luke had no weapon, and his Amish beliefs forbade him from using a weapon, even if he had one at his disposal. Not that he wanted to. Luke had flouted a few rules in the past few days in his quest to keep Jennie and LJ alive, but he would not take a life. Not even to save his own.

He would, however, willingly put himself in harm’s way to protect those he cared about.

Like he had earlier when he and Jennie were being shot at.

A flash of color to the left caught his attention. It was a bold color. Red. Like a scarf. It was moving. Walking as quietly as he could, he followed who or what was moving around in the woods.

After a few minutes, he was rewarded with a low whimper. LJ. His son was ahead. Scared, possibly hurt, but alive. Sending up a silent prayer of thanks and a plea for guidance, Luke kept moving closer.

“Quit your whining, kid,” a man’s voice growled.

LJ stopped whimpering. Since there was no other sound, Luke doubted the boy had been harmed. He needed to stay focused if he were to get to his son and bring the boy home to his mother.

Five minutes later, his prayers were answered. He saw his son being hauled over the shoulder of his kidnapper. A man that Luke had seen once before when he’d set his own sister’s house on fire with her inside it.

Morgan Griggs had Luke’s son.

Briefly, Luke wondered who’d driven the car. Was it Steve Curtis? He doubted it. Trooper Carter had Curtis’s picture all over. While Luke didn’t have access to a computer, he knew that in the Englisch world, most people walked around connected to the internet with their tablets or their smartphones. Even Jennie normally carried a phone with her.

There was no way Curtis could come here undisguised and not be recognized by someone.

Morgan was slowing down. He pulled his phone from his pocket but seemed to have trouble using it with one hand. Luke tensed as the man grabbed hold of LJ with both hands. When Morgan set the child on the ground, Luke edged closer, careful to stay concealed behind the trees.

“Don’t move,” Morgan barked. “I mean it.”

LJ didn’t move, his little body trembling as he stared up at the man, eyes bulging and fearful.
