AN HOUR LATER, Gavin breathed a sigh of relief when the ex-agents and sheriff finally departed. Lindsey looked exhausted. She’d thrown together a stroganoff dish while he’d checked the equipment with the agents and coerced Jernigan into letting him monitor the incoming calls for the night. They’d replayed a few calls that had come in shortly after the TV show. Several false leads had surfaced already, a couple of pranks. Unfortunately nothing helpful.

The agents had wanted to stay the night. Gavin knew they were only doing their jobs, but Lindsey’s place felt cramped enough with the two of them. They didn’t need two uptight former FBI agents to add to the mounting tension. He guessed Barnes wasn’t so bad, except he hadn’t liked the way he’d looked at Lindsey. As if he’d noticed she was a woman and he’d be glad to comfort her.

Gavin scrubbed his hand over his tired eyes and sighed. God, he couldn’t believe the direction of his thoughts. He actually sounded jealous. Not that he had any claims on Lindsey…except she had carried his child.

Cory would always tie the two of them together.

He’d always sympathized with people who’d lost children, but he’d never understood the gutwrenching emotions that could steal a person’s sanity. Now he knew.

They ate in silence, both too exhausted to rehash the day’s events. At least he ate. Lindsey simply pushed her food around with her fork to give the semblance of actually eating. She wasn’t fooling him, though. When the phone rang, she hurried to answer it, and he followed her to the den, easing up the receiver to the other line to listen.

“Lindsey, this is JoAnn. I saw the news today. Are you all right?”

Lindsey leaned against the sofa. “Yeah, t

So this woman was the Jo she’d called from his apartment, not Joe a man. He slowly lowered the second phone to give her some privacy and decided to clear the table. Her soft voice cracked as she confided the day’s events to her friend.

“Thanks for calling, Jo. Good luck with the kids tomorrow.” She murmured something low and discernible. “Don’t worry, I’ll let you know when we find him.”

When we find him.

The hope in her voice tore through him. He couldn’t disappoint her.

As soon as she hung up, the phone rang again. “Mom, oh, hey. Thanks for praying for us, I can feel your wishes all the way to my heart.”

He smiled at the affectionate tone she used, his chest tightening as he heard her describing their day. He wandered outside on the porch to give her some privacy, scanning the yard and woods for anything suspicious. A few minutes later, he glanced through the window and saw her sway slightly as she hung up the phone.

He rushed in and caught her. “You need to eat something.”

She shook her head. “I can’t. My stomach’s been upset all day.”

“You’re under a lot of stress, you’re probably exhausted.
