CHAPTER NINE

“What on earth are they doing?” Elise leaned forward to gaze at the people who were lined up along the road, taking pictures of the bridge. Granted, it was a gorgeous covered bridge. The wood was white, and the top rose to a triangular point. From where she sat, she could see the beams crisscrossing inside. Functional, yet aesthetically pleasing.

“This is Banks Covered Bridge. It’s famous. I don’t know the whole story, but years ago, a popular television show filmed an episode here.”

“Really?” That was interesting.

“Yep.”

She studied at the bridge with renewed interest. “Ryan, look! Have you ever seen a buggy like that before?” The buggy was crossing the bridge, the horses’ hooves echoing like thunder. The buggy itself had a light brown top, almost tan. All the buggies she’d seen back home had been black.

“New Wilmington is the only place you’ll find ’em.” Ryan pulled off to the side, allowing a couple of buggies to pass him. They were in his truck, rather than his cruiser, in order to blend in more. He’d also taken the time to change out of his uniform into faded blue jeans and a black T-shirt. He still looked like a cop to her. A gorgeous one, but a cop nonetheless. Especially with the gun sticking out of the back of his jeans. A flannel shirt was sitting on the seat between them. He’d taken it to wear over his T-shirt when they were out of the truck. He used the break in driving to check his phone. “It looks like I missed a call from the chief. Hold on a minute.”

Watching the people clustered around the bridge, Elise felt the first tingle of unease creep up on her. She could see vehicles coming up behind them. They were sitting ducks while Ryan was checking the message. It was probably important, she knew that. She just hated being so out in the open.

Her mind drifted back to the Amber Alert. She’d checked her cell phone later, and she’d had a message regarding the sighting. Which meant that anyone with similar technology also had that information.

Including Hudson.

He could already be in New Wilmington. And what about the others who were after her and might target Mikey, as well? The truck cab suddenly felt like a cage. She couldn’t help the whimper that escaped her. Her baby was so vulnerable!

“Hey. Hey, Elise. I’m right here. What’s the matter?”

Without thinking about her resolution, Elise turned and grabbed at Ryan’s arm. The muscles flexed beneath her fingers. “The Amber Alert! Ryan… Hudson might know where we’re heading. He might already be in the area!” Her breath came out hard and fast, like she’d been running a marathon.

Covering her hand on his arm with one large hand, he searched her face. That’s when she knew. He had already thought of that. It was another reason he wanted her with him. To protect her and to help find her nephew. His next words confirmed her theory.

“I had thought of that.
