Chapter Nine

Blaine didn’t dare stir. The warm body sprawled out over him brought back memories he’d been trying to forget. But now he wanted to feel them in the present and enjoy them while they lasted.

He peeked open one eye, thankful the room was still dark. Prying open both eyes, he glanced at the clock. Only five in the morning. He should be good for another hour, so he relaxed and drifted back to sleep only to be startled by his pager. “Damn,” he muttered.

He managed to keep one arm around Kaylee while he snagged the vibrating gadget. Dave’s number appeared on the small screen. The phone was on her side of the bed and his cell was in its cradle being charged across the room. Careful not to disturb her, he reached across her.

“I’ll get it,” she whispered. “The wind is really howling.”

“I bet the roads are a mess.” He hit the numbers on the phone and waited.

“Sorry to have to wake you,” Dave said.

“No problem. What’s up?” Blaine wrapped his free arm around Kaylee, nestling her head to his chest. It was like she’d never left ten years ago.

“We need to get out on patrol. Everything is going to be shut down. The other side of the lake is without power and we’re asking for no unnecessary travel.”

“Give me five.” Blaine flicked on the small reading lamp. “Toby can hang here with the girls and my mom.”

“My brother’s coming to get Shima to take her to the farm.”

Blaine thought about that for a moment. She would be safer at the Whitcomb Horse Farm since most of the help lived on the property, along with Dave’s brother and his family.

“I can have everyone transported there,” Dave said.

“Actually, I’d like to get Kaylee over to her father’s house and have her go through it. Can you take Kaylee, Toby and Emma to the Mead residence before you take my mom to the farm?”

“Shouldn’t be a problem. Now get your ass in gear.”

Blaine handed Kaylee the phone and she left his arms to hang it up. “I don’t really want to go back to that house right now.”

“I need you to.” He ran a hand through his long hair, pushing it from his face. “I’ve got a theory.”

“I think we both agree it’s Nino who is behind all this.”

“Probably, but I need you to start looking for something specific.” Adjusting the covers, he glanced at her. Waking with her had been natural, like she should be there with him every night, but at the same time, he knew he had to pull away from her.

“What?” She sat up, pulling the sheet up to her chin. “What am I looking for?”

“Phone records, credit card bills, old letters--anything dated back from about year before you were born until right after your extended hospital stay.”

“I wouldn’t have a clue as to where he kept those things.”

“Hadley’s looking through old tax returns and anything he has, but he swears he doesn’t know who your father could be.
