Two days later as Lyndsay sat at the airport waiting for Carl’s flight to land, she couldn’t stop wringing her hands. There had still been no word from Nick and both Lyndsay and Gracey continued to call the police and hospital every day. Lyndsay couldn’t eat or sleep and she could barely keep her mind on her work. She had told her boss and Jodi what was going on and they were both extremely concerned for both of them. The fact that Jodi had stopped referring to Nick as Mr. Hottie Pants let Lyndsay know she understood the gravity of what was transpiring and that this wasn’t the time for jokes.

The moment she saw Carl walking toward her in baggage claim, Lyndsay raced into his arms and couldn’t stop crying. Because of changing flights over the past few days trying to get home from Iraq, Carl had no idea what was going on. It was obvious, however, that her tears were not from joy at seeing him again. He knew instinctively that they were tears of pain and heart ache. His first thought was that something had happened to their dad. Since she was crying too hard to talk, Carl just held her as passengers walked around them to get their bags from the carousels. When he could finally hear her sobbing slow a bit, he lifted her chin up to see her face and asked, “Is it Dad? Did something happen to Dad?” Carl loved his father deeply and had always felt bad that he had never remarried after their mom died. Momentarily relieved when Lyndsay shook her head, Carl was then even more confused. He just couldn’t imagine what had his sister so distraught and hysterical. “Lyndsay,” Carl said in a stern tone, more because he was scared rather than mad. “Tell me right now what has happened.”

Hearing his sharp tone snapped Lyndsay momentarily out of her grief. “Let’s get your bags and I’ll tell you on the way to Dad’s house.” Fortunately by that time, Carl’s bags had shown up on the carousel so they didn’t have to wait, and immediately headed to her car.

“Give me the keys,” Carl said in a brotherly tone. “I’ll drive and you can tell me what the hell’s going on.”

For the next 45 minutes Lyndsay explained what had happened over the past three days. Carl knew about Nick and had even seen pictures of him because he and Lyndsay stayed in touch regularly by email and Skype. From everything Lyndsay had told him about Nick, Carl knew he’d like him. He was actually looking forward to finally meeting the guy. Lyndsay had told Carl that she had fallen in love with Nick and that they had an amazing relationship, even though it was still fairly new. Carl was genuinely happy for his sister because he too had grown close with a woman from his Marine platoon and was beginning to get serious with her as well. As the story unfolded, Lyndsay
