Chapter Seven

Ryker

It took a concentrated effort to pull myself out of bed the morning after Everlie left to go back to Vegas. Even though she’d only been at the ranch for a week, she’d managed to leave her prints on everything. Each room in the house now held new memories. Even Bowie knew something was wrong. He’d bonded with Everlie, and kept rooting around the house, looking for her.

“She’ll come back,” I said to my four legged companion, scratching between his perked ears. “She has to…”

I spent the day outside, hoping the fresh air and hard labor, mending pasture fences, would keep my mind busy enough so I could momentarily stop the pain and loneliness from plaguing me. When dusk fell, I put away my tools and went back into the house. I hadn’t gone grocery shopping and was down to the bare minimum in the pantry. I thought about going into town, but knew everyone would ask where Everlie was. She’d made quite an impression in the short amount of time she’d spent with me. Wherever we went, she’d been sweet and kind to anyone who came up to say hello, which, in a small town, was nearly everyone.

I cracked open a can of chili, set it up on the gas stove, and went to search for some crackers. I was just coming out of the pantry, when my cell phone started buzzing on the butcher block counter top that laid over the large kitchen island. The number was unlisted, but a churning in my gut told me who it was before I’d even answered.

“Marshon?”

“Hey, man,” he answered, his voice missing its normal jovial tone.

“What’s wrong?”

He sighed. “Shit, man. I hate to do this, but Boss needs you back in Vegas. Things are…complicated. We need your help.”

I rolled my eyes and leaned back against the counter. “Really? There’s no one else in the entire FBI that could help?”

“Ryker, I know, this is the last thing you want to do, but Sanderson’s group is a lot larger than we’d originally profiled. We need help chasing down the new leads and making sense of it all. Boss wants you. You have experience with the case and it’ll be a hell of a lot easier to get you up to speed, than bringing in someone new and having to start at the beginning.”

“Then why are you calling? If this is from Boss?” I pushed off the counter and went to stir the pot of chili before it scorched the stainless steel pot.

“You calling me a liar?” Bennett replied, the sound of his teeth grit together, warning me he wasn’t in the mood.

“No,” I said, sighing. “I guess I should have seen this coming. I should have known there was a reason Boss wouldn’t just take my resignation. The whole six weeks to decide was bullshit.”

“Are you coming or not?” Bennett asked, impatience rising in his tone.

“Why should I?” I slammed the spoon back to the counter, splattering chili in a messy ring where it landed.
