The Blossom Café was quiet. Not a single sound except the sizzle of bacon frying could be heard. Cy was used to reacting instantly, but he didn’t. He couldn’t. All he could think about was his little girl. Was she dead? What happened?

“No reports to indicate she’s dead,” DeAndre answered. Cy didn’t know if he was a mind reader or if he’d spoken out loud. “As to what happened, I don’t know yet.”

Cy was up and out of his seat. “I have to get to her. Where did the plane go down?”

“Mountain View Airstrip,” DeAndre answered.

“Should we call her assistant to see if there were any mechanical problems or something?” Aniyah asked in a shaky voice Cy had never heard before. Most of the time DeAndre’s girlfriend was confident to the hilt. She was secretary for Reagan’s twin sister, and Cy enjoyed verbally sparing with her when he’d visit Riley at the capitol building in Frankfort. This worried voice of hers sent his heart dropping.

“I’ll call her now,” DeAndre said as Cy felt his wife gently tugging his arm.

“Let’s go. I’ll call Porter and Parker. They’re in Atlanta for a rodeo. They can meet us there. We’ll find her, Cy.” Cy looked at the determined face of his wife and nodded. It was him who should be coming up with a plan, but right now it was Gemma.

“Mo, Dani, can we borrow a plane or something?” Gemma asked as she walked a couple of tables away and hugged a tearful Kenna and Will Ashton. Damn, Cy had forgotten about Carter. The pale faces and tears in their eyes reminded him that Will and Kenna were going through the same thing he was.

“We’ll find them. I swear it. I’ll die before I stop looking for them,” Cy told his friends.

“Before we stop looking,” Will said, standing up. “I’m coming with you.”

“Then we’ll need the bigger helicopter,” Ryan said to Mo, also standing up. “Carter asked me to look into two men who owned a horse he was flying with today. I haven’t gotten a chance to do it yet, but I’ll do it on the way there and make sure the boots on the ground know there was some concern about these men. We’ll need to find them too.”

“Is one of them Mick Connors?” DeAndre asked. Ryan looked down at his phone where he’d taken notes and nodded.

“Yes. How did you know that?” Ryan asked.

“Because he was on the plane with them. He joined them at the last minute.”

“You can take our large helicopter. It’s at the airport. It’ll hold sixteen and will be able to make it there on one tank of gas. Nash, can you fly it?” Mo asked his second-in-command of security.

“Of course. I’ll head there now and get it ready.” Nash stood up and kissed his wife, Sophie.

“Bring my cousin home,” Sophie whispered as she ran her hand down his cheek. Nash nodded and strode out the door.

“I’ll bring Robyn,” Bridget said from her wheelchair.
