Chapter 10

Macon Ivy unfolded his tall frame from the Denver hotel chair, phone to his ear, waiting for his mother to finish her panicked ranting.

“I’d call Lincoln, but he and Sabrina are in Scotland right now,” his mother said. She was trying to solve everything all on her own.

“The police are working this.”

He heard her breathing—catching up on breathing, that is. “But kidnapped. My Savanna has been kidnapped!”

“That’s what the media are saying. You know how they can be. Maybe it isn’t what it seems.” Korbin had something to hide, but he didn’t strike him as a murderer who’d kidnap a woman. “And Savanna isn’t dumb. She wouldn’t stand up for him if he wasn’t a good person.”

“Find my daughter, Macon.” His mother began to cry. He never heard or saw her cry. She was a strong woman. Nothing ever got her down. “You kids are going to send me to an early grave.”

He chuckled, hearing her quickly overcome her moment of weakness. “Save the drama for the movies, Mom. Savanna is fine. And I will try to find her.” Even though he had zero experience as a detective and the press was camped outside the hotel.

“This is no movie, Macon. Why do my children have to get into trouble all the time?”

“Trouble finds us, I guess.”

“Go get her. Bring her to Evergreen. I’m flying there today with your father.”

“Are you trying to sneak in another reunion?” In Macon’s drinking and drugging years, he’d avoided those gatherings. Now he was beginning to look forward to them.

“Macon. How can you be so insensitive?”

“I’m telling you, Korbin isn’t a bad guy. Yeah, he ran from cops and the media are saying he killed two people, but someone shot at him up in Wolf Creek. Someone who is supposed to be a friend of his. There’s more going on here.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.” He hadn’t been at first, but after thinking about it he was now. “He’s innocent. The only thing he’s guilty of is falling for Savanna.”

There was a long pause on the line. “Really?”

“Oh yeah. You should have seen them together. Something’s going on there. They look like they’ve slept together.”

His mother gasped. “Is Savanna not thinking clearly? Maybe he seduced her and she’s fooled into staying with him.”

“Mother, stop. Savanna’s been through enough with men. She wouldn’t be with him if he wasn’t worth something.” At least, he hoped. Sleeping with someone after just meeting them wasn’t Savanna’s style. Why had she?

“I’ll find Savanna and bring her to Evergreen,” he said. And a few minutes later he was able to get off the phone.

Turning up the volume on the television, he listened to a news report on Savanna’s alleged kidnapping. Collette Hamilton’s murder. The hit-and-run. According to the media, Korbin appeared to have done them both. He hadn’t voiced his real concern to his mother. Savanna would be in danger if Damen Ricchetti came after them again. Korbin had put him in the hospital, but wouldn’t that just piss
