Chapter Twelve

June 20

Dawson tried to minimize the feelings for Sarah rushing through him because they distracted him. Now was not the time for them. Issues revolved around his worry about the Elson boys coming after Sarah and her family. After visiting her parents and the grannies, he was glad she didn’t have to go through the process. Her family was just as stressed over the possibility of having their home attacked and going after Sarah as she was.

David Carter was particularly relieved to hear that Dawson would be at Sarah’s side, rendering medical support as well as being her badass guard. Nell understood and agreed with the plan. Gertie didn’t, saying she’d hire armed security guards and Sarah would be safe at her homestead. It took a lot of diplomatic wrangling on Dawson’s part to get the upset oldster to see the wisdom of keeping everyone safe. Just the same, Gertie was hiring three security guards. She had a lot of employees working on her ranch and she was going to make sure no one got through the front entrance without being fully vetted and checked and on the list of people who were allowed on her property.

He was driving to the courthouse, where the sheriff’s office was located, when he got a call on his cell. Pulling off to the side of the road, he placed his truck in park and answered it. It had been three hours since he’d left the hospital.

“Callahan,” he answered in a clipped tone.

“It’s me, Sarah.”

“Are you all right?” All the brusqueness dissolved from his tone. She sounded tired.

“I’m fine. Everything’s quiet around here. Listen, Commander Tom Franks of the Teton Sheriff’s Department is having his dog trainer, Deputy Sheriff Jasmine Delano, drop off one of their working dogs, King, to my office. Can you go there to meet her? She should be arriving any minute now. She’s going to show you the commands King knows, and how to work with him. Then, you’ll bring the dog back to Gertie’s place until I can get moved into that cabin. King will be with us for the duration of my healing.”

“Hey, that’s great! I worked with a number of working military dogs in Afghanistan. We used WMDs on our recon missions with great success.”

“Oh, good! Tom is a longtime friend of our family and he told me that they’re sending their best combat-trained dog to help keep me safe. King has better hearing, better vision and can smell an intruder better than any human.”

“For sure,” Dawson said, grinning. “This is a great break for us. I’m about ten minutes outside of Wind River. How are you doing?” She was never far from his mind—or his heart.

“Exhausted, but feeling better. The supervisor for the Forest Service has okayed my request to use their missing person’s cabin headquarters, so that’s good news, too.”

“I knew the people of the valley would rally around you, Sarah,” he said, hearing the sudden emotion in her voice. Her speech was still hoarse; it would take days for it to return to normal.
