Chapter Eight

Seth watched helplessly as the EMTs loaded up Rachel and his mom into the ambulance. His stomach rolled with anger and fear. What if his little sis didn’t survive? If she did, what would her life be like after? She was so confident, beautiful, and ready to take on the world. Would this destroy her future, or could she rise above it?

Luckily, there were a couple of their sport utility vehicles not parked in the garage. Caleb, Luke, Mar, Cosette, and Isaac climbed into one while their father and the rest of the family piled into the other. Isaac motioned to Seth. “Let’s go!”

“I can’t leave Breeze.” Where had she gone?

Caleb nodded. The ambulance roared away as the firefighters continued to drench the house with water and cut holes in the roof to relieve the pressure. It was loud and crazy but, somehow, not chaotic as the firefighters worked together. Seth was pretty sure the house was destroyed. That would be another blow to his family, but nothing was as important as Rachel.

He sprinted around the back of the house, searching for Breeze and calling for her and Ridge. Where could they have gone?

The fire seemed to roar behind him like a furious, sizzling beast. He glanced at the house, and the horror of losing it stabbed him. All those memories. Rachel was all that mattered, but it would still gut his mom to lose this house.

Seth asked a couple of firefighters who were around back if they’d seen a blonde woman and boy. Finally, a tough-looking guy with slightly graying hair told him, “I saw a girl and boy run for the trees a bit ago. Didn’t have time to go after them.”

Seth stared into the trees as if they held the answers. Why would Breeze and Ridge take off? Caleb ran around the side of the house. “Seth! Let’s go!”

He was torn. He wanted to chase after Breeze and see what was going on, but he had to go to the hospital. Even though he could literally do nothing but be moral support to his parents and Rachel, he had to go. He hopped into the SUV.

“What happened?” he asked Caleb as they drove off.

“I don’t know.” Caleb shook his head. “I was out back with everybody when it blew.” He lifted his hands. “Honestly bro, I wasn’t messing around with anything explosive.”

Seth pursed his lips. His mind raced with questions as they drove toward the county hospital and waited for news about their sister. Why would Breeze run? Could Ridge have been responsible for the explosion? “Ridge?” he asked Caleb in a low voice.

“Right by my side,” Caleb insisted.

Seth nodded, relieved. Ridge had made mistakes, but Seth felt he was a good kid and didn’t believe Ridge could have caused the explosion.

He tried to think of other explanations of how the house had exploded and why Breeze and Ridge would take off like that. What if she knew who had set the bomb and had gone
