Chapter 15

“We really should go see the sheriff,” Harper said as she started up her SUV.

“I don’t think we have time for that,” Logan replied. “We need to get away before Bart can follow us.”

Elizabeth’s brow furrowed. “What? You really think he would?”

Logan nodded. “Yes, I do. We can talk to our sheriff when we get back to town. He can contact the Bozeman authorities and let them handle Bart and his gang.” He looked down at the girl sitting between him and Drake. “Besides, this young lady needs medical attention. She’s not looking too good.”

The girl’s face had paled, and she was shaking.

“Logan, trade places with me.” Elizabeth stepped back out of the front passenger seat before Harper could back up. She walked around to where Logan had been sitting and got inside with the girl. “Maybe we should have kept Mia with us instead of the guys.”

Drake shook his head. “No, you need protection in the car in case we’re chased.”

The girl sitting between them shrank down, and a tear escaped from her eye.

“Shh, Drake. You’re scaring the poor girl.” Elizabeth put a hand on the girl’s shoulder. “It’s alright. You’re safe now. No one is going to follow us.” She looked pointedly at Logan, who seemed to know exactly what she was thinking.

All they needed now was for Bart or one of his goons to find them and follow them back to Beacon Creek. Elizabeth was trying to keep up a strong front, but she did fear that might happen. Those two men watching them had to be Bart’s. She wasn’t sure what they could do to lose anyone once they were on the road back home. It was mostly a straight shot and not a lot of other roads, except to ranches.

Logan looked around them, and when he was confident they weren’t being followed, he sighed in relief. Then smiled at the girls in the back seat.

Elizabeth did the only thing she could think of…she prayed. Asking the Lord for protection seemed to be the only thing that could calm her. A feeling of peace and security came over her in a way no person had ever been able to give her. She knew her Heavenly Father was in control. Whatever happened, it would be because He allowed it and not because some criminal got the best of them.

The farther they got from Bozeman, the more the young girl next to Elizabeth relaxed. When they were only about ten minutes from home, she decided to see if the girl would speak to her. “Well, it looks like no one has followed us. You’re going to be safe now.” She hesitated a moment. “Do you think you could at least give me your name?”

The girl looked up at her, and Elizabeth could see she was thinking. The girl tilted her head a little, and one of her cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk storing an acorn. “My name is Analise, but everyone calls me Ana.”

That was the most Elizabeth had heard from her.
