Chapter Seven

DETECTIVE ALLEN made the call to the DEA and gave them the info on Mona O’Mara and then began searching property records on May Schulter.

Flynn eyed the tall, dark-haired detective staring intently at his computer screen and decided this was a good time to give his mother a heads-up on what was happening. When he made the call, she answered so quickly he knew she must have been sleeping with her phone right by her hand.

“Hello?”

“Mom, it’s me.”

Mona threw back her cover and sat up, running her fingers through the flat side of her hair as she recognized her son’s voice. “Do you know anything?”

“Some stuff. We know who took her and why, but we don’t know where they are.”

“Oh, my lord,” Mona said. “Pat is beside himself, and there’s nothing that will make this better until Tara comes home.”

“Are you still there?”

“Yes. I bunked down on the sofa after Pat finally went to his room.”

“I need you to know that I told the police about Dad’s message and that you understood the clues.”

She groaned.

“I’m sorry, Mom.”

“No. It has to be done, and we want this over with once and for all.”

“The police notified the DEA. It’s their case, so one of their agents will be contacting you.”

“Okay. Thank you for letting me know.”

Flynn looked up and saw Rutherford coming back into the room.

“Yeah . . . hey, Mom. I gotta go. I’ll call again if I know something.”

Rutherford waved Flynn over and then headed for Allen’s desk.

“Find anything?” Rutherford asked.

He nodded. “There’s a homestead exemption filed in her name. I have a legal description of the property, and I’m running a search to find out exactly where it is on the county map.”

“This is good! Right?”

“It’s progress,” Allen said.

Flynn was watching the computer screen when all of a sudden he heard Tara’s voice.

Flynn! Can you hear me? They’re going to run.

Tara! Tara! Yes! Can you hear me?

When she didn’t answer, he groaned, but one thing was good. He’d heard her again. Whatever was wrong with her might be clearing up.

“What’s up, kid?” Rutherford asked.

“I just heard her voice. I answered, but she didn’t respond like she usually does.”

They both turned and looked at him.

“Are you serious?” Rutherford asked.

Flynn frowned. “About what?”

“You two are tuned into each other’s thoughts all the time?”

“If we want to,” he said.

“Holy Moses,” Allen said softly. “What if you’re thinking stuff you don’t want her to hear?”

He shrugged. “I still can’t control it, so she hears it. The saving grace is not following through on the thought.”

“Gotcha,” Allen said, still shaking his head, and then he jumped as his computer search ended. “Hey! I got a hit on that legal description.”

“Is it close?” Flynn asked.

“About six miles west of Stillwater then back south.”

“Let’s go! She said they were going to run! We have to hurry!” Flynn yelled.

“Wait, wait, kid. We’re not going in cold. We need backup to make sure we don’t make matters worse for her, if they’re even still there. If Marsh Story’s mother called him after we talked to her, they have almost a two hour warning.
