Chapter Eleven

Landon wanted to kick himself. Two attacks now at the Silver Creek sheriff’s office. And either attack could have killed Tessa, his cousins or the other deputies. They’d gotten damn lucky that there hadn’t been more damage and there had been no injuries.

Of course, one of the shooters hadn’t had much luck today.

The guy was dead, but that wasn’t exactly a dose of great news for Landon. Just like the gunwoman from the day before, dead shooters couldn’t give them answers, but maybe Grayson and the others would be able to find the gunman who’d gotten away. While Landon was wishing, he added that the moron would cough up a name of who was behind the attacks.

And that they’d find Courtney.

The last might not even be doable. When the deputies had finally made it out to the bridge, there’d been no sign of the woman. If someone was holding her captive, then it was possible that person had taken her far away from Silver Creek.

Tessa got out of the truck and went into the guesthouse ahead of Landon. As instructed, she hurried, and that precaution was because of the stranger one of the hands had seen in the area just minutes before the attack at the sheriff’s office. Landon doubted that was a coincidence, and because of the possible threat and the attacks, everyone was on high alert.

By the time Landon got inside, Tessa was already at the bassinet and was checking on the baby—who was sleeping. At least Samantha was too young to know what was going on. That was something.

Tessa sighed and touched her fingertips to the baby’s hair. She didn’t have to tell him that she was worried about both Courtney and the little girl. There were threats all around them, and not all of those threats came from armed thugs. The biggest threat could come from the child’s own father.

Landon thanked the nanny and Gage for staying with the baby, but he didn’t say anything to Tessa until the two had left. Since he was essentially planning a crime, it was best not to involve his cousin and the nanny.

“If Quincy gets the court order,” Landon told her, “we’ll take the baby from the ranch. I know a place we can go.”

“A safe house?”

“Not an official one. I don’t want to go through channels for that, but it’ll be a safe place.” He hoped. And not just safe. But a place they could stay until they managed to stop Quincy from taking the newborn.

She nodded, and Landon nearly told her to go ahead and pack. Then he remembered Tessa didn’t have much to take with her. It wouldn’t take them long at all to get out of there if Quincy showed up with the law on his side.

“Why don’t you try to get some rest?” Landon suggested. “You’ve been through a lot today.”

“You’ve been through worse,” Tessa quickly pointed out. “You had to kill a man.”

Yeah, a man he would kill a dozen times over if it meant neutralizing the threat.
