Rafe drove toward the Haskin’s place, his foot pushing hard against the accelerator. Everybody was out actively looking for Momma. The women were making calls to everybody in town they could think of that might have seen or heard from her. Dad and his brothers were doing their own searches. Somebody, somewhere, had to find her. Anything less was unacceptable. He’d decided to head back home, which was the last place anybody had seen her. He figured he’d check out the lead about the Haskin’s place, then head to the Big House and do a check of her computer history, see what she’d been working on. Maybe he’d be able to figure out where she’d been headed if it wasn’t the Haskin’s place, before she was supposed to head to Jill’s bakery.

While he drove, every possible scenario played through his mind. The Boudreaus had faced more than their fair share of dangerous situations and devious people in the past few years. Though it was a longshot, it was possible somebody with a grudge might have targeted his momma, wanting a little payback. His gut clenched at the thought of his momma at the mercy of some maniac. Though they didn’t have a lot of crime like he’d seen in the bigger cities like Dallas and Houston, there were bad people even in small towns. He did his best to keep Shiloh Springs a safe place, but sometimes bad things happened no matter what precautions you took.

When his phone rang, he grabbed it, not bothering to look at the caller ID. “Hello?”

“Is this Sheriff Boudreau? A lady named Sally Anne gave me this number when I called the station.”

“I’m Sheriff Boudreau. How can I help you?”

“My name’s Stan Ferguson. I wanted to let you know that I have your mother—”

“What do you mean you have my mother? What have you done with her?” Rafe practically spat out the words, his fingers itching to wrap themselves around this unknown man’s neck. Probably would have if he’d been there in the flesh.

“No, no, nothing like that! I didn’t make myself clear. I found your mother earlier today. She’d hurt her ankle and couldn’t walk, and I helped her. I was driving her to the emergency clinic there in Shiloh Springs when she passed out. I thought it best to take her to the hospital.”

Rafe let out the first truly deep breath he’d taken in hours. Momma was okay, that’s what mattered.

“She’s hurt?”

“They don’t think it’s anything serious. When I found her, she’d twisted or sprained her ankle pretty bad, couldn’t walk or bear weight on it. I’ve got some EMT experience, so I wrapped it as best I could. Told her she needed to go to a hospital to be checked out, but she insisted I take her to the emergency clinic, but when she blacked out, I figured it was better she got seen at a hospital. Right now, she’s at Mercy General.”

“She been admitted?”

“For observation only. They’re waiting for the x-rays to come back, to see if she broke the ankle.
