Luke walked into the barn and was nearly run over by his nephew, Mitchell. “Whoa, little guy.” He caught him around the waist which made him squeal and kick.

He was just about to put him down when he saw Stephen jogging down the barn aisle from the office. Luke opened his mouth to say sorry. He didn’t think he’d hurt him but—

“Damn, that kid’s fast. Thanks, man. I thought I’d closed that door all the way.”

Luke watched Stephen take his son, still kicking up a fuss, and toss him over his shoulder.

“Little troublemaker is determined to get into one of these stalls. And to be honest I think he’s going for the horse shit, not the horse.”

“Well.” He was still staring at his brother-in-law, not seeming the least bothered by his son’s crying. His sister’s chocolate lab bounded in from somewhere and came to his side. He gave the dog’s head a rub.

“Hey, I was just talking Hannah into running out for some lunch with me and this hellion. Want to come? Or I could bring you something.”

“No, thanks. I can hold things down here.”

“Thanks, man. I’ll just go whisk my wife away for a bit. We’ll be back in an hour.”

Luke moved on down the aisle, checking the swing of each lower stall door. He’d noticed one was off kilter but couldn’t remember which. Hannah and Stephen hadn’t been gone ten minutes before the office phone was ringing. Figuring he wouldn’t know the answer to anyone’s inquiry, he let it go to voicemail.

When the ringing started up again and didn’t stop, he stepped in, picked up the receiver from the wall. “Freedom Farm.”
