Seventeen

Brayden knocked on the door to Lana's house. It was quiet in the house. Nolan and Ryder had to have been somewhere else.

Susan answered the door, looking tired.

"Good evening." He smiled, despite his own fatigue. Brayden had worked all day in the clinic and then he'd gone to the hospital's gym and worked out. It had been so long that his muscles burned worse than they had in a long time.

"Come on in." She moved aside, not smiling back.

He walked in, seeing the boys sitting quietly on the couch.

Maybe they'd had a busy day running around the beach.

"How are you boys doing?" he asked, sitting in between them.

Neither looked up or responded.

"We had a bit of an incident last night," Dwight said, coming into the room. We're all tired and won't let them run around like usual."

"Incident?" Brayden asked, concerned. "What do you mean?" And where was Lana?

"Someone tried to break in last night. Luckily, we scared them away."

"I'm glad everyone's okay." Why had their home been broken into? Attempted, anyway. There hadn't been a single break-in all year in Kittle Falls, and now in less than a week, there were two—and both places were where he and Lana lived. Brayden covered his growing concern.

"I'll sure feel better when a security system is installed," Susan said. "We're told it'll take a day or two."

"A day or two?" Brayden exclaimed. "That's not acceptable. Who are you renting from?"

Dwight told him the name of the company.

Brayden shook his head, anger building. "I went to school with the guy who owns that." He pulled out his phone and searched for the number online. He dialed and demanded to speak to his old schoolmate.

"Parker Jacobs. How can I help you?"

"This is Brayden Hunter. I—"

"Brayden, old buddy! How are you? Still in Dallas?"

"I'm not calling to chat, Parker. Did you know about the Summers family renting one of your homes?"

"There are a lot of families renting my homes and condos. Can you be more specific?"

"The family that had an intruder. Does that ring any bells? They need to have a security system installed now—not days away. What kind of a business are you running?"

"Hold on, Brayden. I haven't heard anything about this. Give me a second."

Brayden heard the clicking of a computer keyboard.

"Okay. I've found it. … Attempted break-in. Police came. Family requested security system …. Why is it supposed to take so long?"

"That's what I'd like to know." Brayden had to force himself to remain calm, especially with Nolan and Ryder on either side of him. They watched him with wide eyes.

"Tell you what, Brayden. I'm going to call the security company myself and do whatever it takes to get this done before they go to bed tonight. Then I'll deal with the screw-off who messed this up."

"Thank you, Parker."

"Anything else I can do for you?"

"No. I appreciate you taking care of this." They said their goodbyes and then Brayden looked at Dwight and Susan, standing. "The company owner apologizes for the way you were treated is going to personally make sure you have the system installed tonight.
