Colin placed a call to Sheriff Barron, reporting the vandalism to Emily’s house and letting him know they would be heading out to Iron Horse Ranch as soon as they’d packed what they needed to stay for a while.

“I’ll have my team out there to investigate as soon as possible,” the sheriff said. “I’m glad you’re taking the ladies out to the ranch. With all your brothers there, they ought to be safer than if they stayed home.”

“That’s the idea,” Colin said. “What’s the word on Roy?”

“Roy Keats is in bad shape. The bullet nicked some vital organs. They were taking him into surgery when I left the hospital. The Bozeman Police Department has two officers guarding the surgical floor. They’ve got strict orders to keep a really close eye on Roy. After what happened earlier today, they’ll be on their toes.”

Colin didn’t tell the sheriff about the phone he’d found in the floor of Emily’s house. Though he trusted the sheriff, he figured the fewer people who knew about it, the better off Emily would be. And talking over the phone wasn’t necessarily a secure means of communication.

After he ended the call to the sheriff, he placed one to the ranch, letting them know they would have two visitors staying indefinitely.

His mother assured him she wouldn’t have it any other way. She loved Emily and Brenna like daughters, and they could stay as long as they needed.

Emily and Brenna came down the stairs, each carrying a suitcase.

“We’re ready,” Emily said.

“I’ll follow you in my car. I don’t like to be dependent on anyone for transportation, especially if I need to get somewhere quickly,” Brenna said.

“Tell you what,” Colin said. “We’ll follow you out to the ranch. “That way, we have your back.”

“And who will have yours?” Brenna asked, one eyebrow raised.

Emily grinned. “I have a gun. I’ll keep an eye to the rear in case we run into any more trouble.”

“That’s what I like,” Colin said. “Teamwork.”

Brenna climbed into her car and pulled out of the driveway.

Emily and Colin followed in the truck.

The drive out to Iron Horse Ranch went without a hitch. When they arrived at the house, his mother and his sister, Molly, came out on the porch to greet them.

“Where are Duncan, Angus and ’Bastian?” he asked.

“Your brothers are out in the canyon again. I don’t know what they hope to find, but they were pretty determined to get out of the house and do something,” his mother said. She smiled at Emily and Brenna, taking one of the suitcases out of Emily’s hands. “Let me have that. Colin says you’ve been through hell the past couple of days.”

Molly reached for Brenna’s case. “Let me show you to the room we arranged for you two. You’ll be sharing a room since we have all the boys home.”

“I can carry my own case,” Brenna said. “But thanks. It’s enough you’re putting us up. Hopefully, it won’t be for long.”

“Thank you, Mrs. McKinnon.” Emily hugged the older woman. “You don’t know how much we appreciate your kindness.
