CHAPTER 12
Complications
“Where did Diana and Elise go?” Austy asked Whitney and Arianna.
“Well, Elise was going out riding, and Diana decided to go with her,” Arianna explained. “They’ve been gone about an hour.” She checked her watch. It was four o’clock.
“Yeah, Diana’s been following Elise around everywhere,” Whitney said.
“Oh, well, I made brownies so I wasn’t sure if anyone wanted any,” mentioned Austy.
“You made brownies? They actually turned out?”
“Arianna Sue!”
“I’m just joking with you!” To Whitney, Arianna whispered, “she usually burns things.”
Austy glared at her. “Well do you want any brownies?”
“We’re coming.” They raced after Austy to the kitchen where they each grabbed a brownie and a glass of milk and sat down to eat.
Mr. Rethman had gone to the police department for the second time in the past couple days, and while the girls were still enjoying their brownies, he came home and said to his wife, “I went to the police department again because they never got back with me from the last time I went up there. Now they said they would partner with us for a week, and if nothing was figured out in that time, they wouldn’t help anymore with the search for Blossom. They’re going to scan our property and might send a detective or two out if they need more help uncovering the more detailed problems.”
“Oh, I just hope we can find that horse!” Mrs. Rethman cried.
“Well, you and the girls can put the fliers up around town. With the police helping for a week and people seeing the fliers, I’m sure someone will say something if they’ve seen anything of the horse.”
“I hope they’d say something,” Mrs. Rethman answered.
“Where’s Elise? I’ll tell her what I figured out.”
“She and Diana are riding the horses in the woods.”
“Okay, then I’ll work on my sermon some more for next Sunday. I’m glad that Roger’s doing the sermon this Sunday.”
Mrs. Rethman nodded. Roger was an assistant pastor and sometimes did the sermons on Sundays.
“We’re going to need to make supper before too long. I hope the girls come back soon.”
……
Diana and Elise were pulled to the other side of the tree by the two people.
“Don’t struggle and we won’t harm you,” the woman hissed.
“How dare you say that! You would be struggling too,” Diana blurted, breathing hard and fast. Beads of sweat were forming at the top of her forehead and beginning to slide down the sides of her face. The other person pushed her against the tree.
“I can tell you’re a smart aleck. Well, we’re not going to have any of that,” he growled in her face and then shoved her down. When Diana fell, she couldn’t use anything to catch herself because her hands were bound, so she popped her knees forward and fell on them. The person yanked her back up.
“What do you want with us?” Elise asked, her voice sounding a bit shaky. “We were just going on a peaceful ride, so why don’t you let us go and we can be on
