Back in McKenzie Ridge, everyone was on edge as expected. They executed their plan, putting Lydia out there front and center for Tom to see from wherever he was hiding. Life was back to normal, whatever that was.

The O’Reilly brothers were set up at Sugar Pine Stables when they got back, having snuck in under the guise of darkness the night before. Their command center was there, and they were watching everything, 24/7, rotating shifts. Ronan and Ryker had followed Dec and Lydia back to McKenzie but drove on through so as not to be seen.

Later that night, they did as the brothers did and came back to town. They hiked through the forest and came in from the north, where nobody would see them, right into Lydia’s garage through an entry door on the north side.

The cousins were their secret weapon. Tom would anticipate the O’Reilly brothers’ presence, despite not seeing them. Ronan and Ryker, however, left them with the upper hand and element of surprise. He wouldn’t see them coming once they got a trace on Tom. He’d walk right into them. They were the eyes and ears Tom didn’t know they had.

The brothers were spread out. Dace and Wylie were staged at the O’Reilly cabin, where they were less likely to be tracked and able to come and go following leads without detection. Tom knew the cabin, but it was just far enough out of the way that he couldn’t watch them and everyone else.

Liam and Luke stayed at Sugar Pine Stable on the opposite end of town. Tom didn’t know they were there and wouldn’t think to even look there. Liam had his cyber recon equipment set up, watching everything clear to Arrow Springs, the next town over.

Blake and his local team were spread out as well. No matter where Tom was or how he decided to strike next, there was a team nearby. He couldn’t watch all of them, all of the time. The pressure was on, and Tom was sure to falter.

When Lydia left the house, she left with Declan. He was the only person Tom would see with her. Tom would bank on that when he finally decided to make his move.
