Chapter 9

Jane was much more settled and content the next several days. She spent much of her time at the ranch hospital, feeding, playing with and nurturing injured or sick animals.

When she wasn't in the hospital she was helping Lena and visiting. The two were quite close now. Jane confessed her fear that she was becoming too close to Bryce, and she and Lena talked about it. Lena tried to comfort her, telling her it was only natural, and if it turned out she was married, she was sure they would be able to work through it.

Deputy Armstrong came over one evening to catch everyone up on events. Jane told him about the small memories that had returned to her, but again, there was nothing they could follow up on.

“We've followed up on the Indiana car that was abandoned, and you were right, Bryce, the owner of that car is not our Jane. The local sheriff was finally able to locate her, and she's now in jail.”

“For what?” Bryce asked.

“Apparently that abandoned car was used as the get-away vehicle in a theft in Nebraska. They, she and her boyfriend/accomplice, drove it this far, but abandoned it when she got a call from a friend of hers. The friend said they had pictures of her car that had been caught on a security camera, and they were showing them on the news. They abandoned the car when they heard that and stole another one. They were caught in that new one and taken back to Nebraska to stand trial. She's in jail there.”

“Wow,” Jane said. “I'm glad that's not me. But I wonder who I am, and why those men were looking for me. For all I know, I may be running from some crime I've done, too.”

“I don't think so,” Bryce said. “I know you well enough now to say I honestly don't believe that could be a possibility.” He turned to the deputy. “But I do wish I knew why they were looking for her. Is there any news on them, who they are? Have they asked about her any more?”

“They have indeed asked again, still trying to convince us she's family. They've got a story down good and are trying to convince us she's their cousin. We honestly don't know who they are. They gave us fake names, but we haven't been able to find who they really are. They're smart, though, and that worries us a bit. They've come to the sheriff's office a few times, but they make sure they never face a camera, which means they know what they're doing. They probably know we're on to them now, so they don't come to the office. They've still called though. I don't trust them.”

“Do you know if they're still in the area if they're just calling?”

“They are. They've called a couple times from local businesses. Once was from a motel. They gave them the same fake identities they told us, and we went back and looked at their surveillance cameras, but they avoided looking up at them, as well.
