More to come

The ride back to the ranch seems to take twice as long as the ride up, each passenger lost in their own thoughts.

Jason stares out the window as Austin drives, his mind a million miles away. Despite his resistance, he kept going back to what JT had told him. Was what he’d said really going to affect him? Must he rethink it over and over? Was it that significant?


Sparky sits with Jeff at a table, going through the same files they’ve been over ten times already, but still searching for something new…anything to give them a new lead…anything to give them hope. Though Sparky’s concentration is not dedicated to his task. He has a mission to complete, but it will have to wait until Mick gets back. He can no longer ignore the issue, but must confront it, lest he live the rest of his life wondering if he’d done all he could.

Luke stretches out on his bed, wincing just a little as his legs kink. There’s so much on his mind, how can he dedicate himself to this case? But he has to…for when it was over, they could finally be at peace. Happiness was just around the corner…it had to be.
He glances at the clock, hoping that Angel and the others won’t run into any trouble before getting back.


Wyatt raises an eyebrow at Katie’s remark. “Pool, eh? Well, we might just have to see how good you are.” He grins as she promises to return, and stands to clear off the table.
Once Katie comes back, they get back in his jeep for the short drive back to TJY. Wyatt walks her inside and pauses before going his own way. “Well, Katie, I have you to thank for an enjoyable lunch break.” He glances at his watch. “Dang time flies too fast.” He lifts his gaze to smile at her. “This afternoon I’m supposed to show you around the lower level, so whenever you’re ready, just find me.”
