Chapter 12

Logan leaned hard into the turn, taking the angle so sharply he had to use his foot to push off and keep his bike upright as he straightened out. The wind tore the prayers from his lips as he rode. The Sheriff’s Department wasn’t far from where he lived, but he felt like he was going in slow motion. She was in danger. She was in danger, and it was all his fault. His fingers curled harder around the grips.

Let her be okay. Please. Just let her be okay.

Logan smelled burned rubber as the wheels of his motorcycle squealed in protest. He finally turned into the Sheriff's Department parking lot and saw Charlie's beat-up car pulled all the way up to the front door, her bumper nearly kissing the glass. Good girl. The driver's side door stood open, and he could see her standing in the lobby, arms wrapped around herself like the hug he wanted to give her but couldn't. He pulled his bike up beside her car, kicking down the stand and pulling off his helmet in one smooth motion. He was still peeling off his gloves as he shouldered open the door.

“Charlie,” he said. The look on her face when she turned to him was half fear, half relief. She was shivering, but he could tell she was trying to hide it, her fingers digging into her upper arms as though she was willing herself to at least appear calm. She hesitated, then closed the distance to wrap her arms around his waist. Logan froze. He’d been so busy reminding himself not to touch her that he hadn’t considered what to do if she touched him first. After a moment, he returned the hug, folding her against his chest and resting his chin on top of her head briefly.

She looked up and offered him a lopsided smile before stepping back. Her eyes were filled with tears again, and his chest tightened at the sight.

She cleared her throat. “I'm okay.”

Logan looked over her shoulder to the deputy she'd been talking to when he walked in. “You got cameras on the parking lot?”

The deputy crossed his arms over his chest. “What's it to you?”

Charlie frowned and turned back to the deputy. “Really? He's my friend. He's the one that told me to come here.”

The deputy relaxed a little but not much. He knew who Logan was, and he obviously had opinions about it. Logan didn't care what he thought of him unless it got in the way of helping Charlie.

“I ask, because maybe they caught the van. Maybe it had to turn around at that street light out there. Does it have traffic cams?”

The deputy laughed. It was a harsh sound without humor. He sounded more like a jackal than a man. “Here in Willow Bough? I think not. Already got somebody checking the parking lot cameras, but thanks for telling us how to do our jobs. We love that.”

“Hey,” Charlie said. “Seriously, there's no need to be rude here.
