Feelings

Clint obliges and goes to get Wendy some coffee.

Austin sets down his coffee and immediately picks up the phone, not even questioning Katie as to how she knows the flower was from Jason. “Yeah, Reese? Get Lukas over to Myersville. Hmm? No, we got a lead. There’s…” He leans over to see Katie’s computer screen. “…two possibilities there. Have Lukas scout them out and call us back immediately with ANYthing out of the ordinary.” He ends his call and takes a deep breath, glancing to Katie. “This has got to be it…I didn’t think they’d go that far with him, but they had to have.” Austin looks at her inquisitively, pausing his thoughts for just a moment as if getting stuck on one in particular. “So…you’ve always been able to sense when something is wrong with Jason…what…I mean…do you feel anything now?”



“I told you he’s not gonna talk!”

A crook rolls his eyes at his partner. “You’ve been at him all night! How much more time do you need? We have to get this thing over with. You know those people at that ranch aren’t stupid. They’ll be out looking for him.”

The other grits his teeth. “Look, I’m doing all I can, short of cutting the kids throat. Maybe we should just take him in to headquarters.”

“No! You know we don’t do that. There’s too much risk for security breach. We get him to talk here or not at all.”

“Well how much time we got?”

“Until tomorrow night. If he doesn’t talk by then, we’ll kill him and move on.”
