CHAPTER 11

Brigid was sound asleep when her phone began to ring. At first it had entered her dream, where she struggled to find the source of the ringing. She finally jerked herself awake, realizing that her phone really was ringing and wasn’t a part of the dream. She threw back the bed covers and reached for it.

“Hello?” Her voice cracked as she struggled to collect her thoughts. She looked over at the clock and saw it was 5:27 in the morning. She couldn’t figure out why anyone would be calling her at this early hour unless there was some sort of an emergency.

“Hey, Brigid? It’s Sheriff Davis. Sorry if I woke ya’, but I could really use yer’ help. Ya’ know a Maggie and Holly Lewis, don’tcha?”

“I’ve met them. What’s wrong?” Brigid asked as she rubbed her hand across her face, trying to collect herself.

“It’d be better if I told ya’ in person. Can ya’ come down to Father Jordan’s church? I know it’s early but…” he let his sentence trail off as he started speaking to someone.

“Of course, just give me a few minutes to get dressed.” Brigid ended the call and changed into the jeans she’d worn the previous day and the first shirt she saw in her closet. She didn’t know what was going on, but she was certain that Sheriff Davis wouldn’t call her this early in the morning unless it was something important.

She grabbed a clean pair of socks and her shoes as she hurried into the great room. Jett was sound asleep on his loveseat. “Good morning, Jett,” she said. He yawned and lifted his head, as if he was wondering what was going on.

“Do you need to go out, Jett?” she asked as she rushed into the kitchen. Thankfully, she’d pre-set her automatic coffee pot, so there was already some coffee brewing. She quickly poured herself a cup while Jett dragged himself off his loveseat. She added her favorite creamer to her coffee and stirred it, joining Jett at the back door and letting him out.

Knowing he’d be fine for a little while, she picked up her cell phone and purse, along with her keys, and headed out the front door. When she was in her car, she sent a text to Linc.

Sheriff Davis just called me and asked me to come to the Jordan’s church. When you wake up would you go over to my house and see if Jett wants back in the house and then feed him? You know where the emergency key is. I’ll let you know what’s going on when I learn more.

She pushed send and dropped the phone onto the passenger seat. As she started her car and prepared to back out of the driveway the phone lit up, indicating she had a message.

That’s strange. Not a problem. I’ll check on Jett in 20 - 30 minutes. Want me to hang out with him until you get back? I don’t have anything to do this morning that can’t wait.
