“I wish it was,” Lucy said. “He said that he was talking to his father in his room, she overheard him, and burst into his room. She threatened to have him killed. Dean said that he was afraid that he would be facing a mob and he wanted to protect us, so to keep her from talking, he took her with him.”
“How stupid and reckless. He could have found a way to stall her long enough to leave and just warned us and we would have left town.”
“I know. I guess he just panicked. He wasn’t thinking. He said he did have her write a note saying that she fell in love with someone and was leaving town with him.”
Micah snorted.
“Does he really think that is going to work?”
“I guess so,” Lucy replied, shrugging her shoulders.
“What is he planning on doing with her in Montana?”
“He is taking her to the cabin and is going to keep her there.”
“Forever?”
Lucy held her hands up and said, “I don’t know. But that is a tomorrow problem.”
Micah gritted his teeth and ran his fingers through his hair.
“Not only is he going to cause a lot of problems here, but he is going to make home a target for these people. It’s no secret that we are from Livingston, Montana.”
“I know.” Lucy sighed.
He closed his eyes and groaned.
“I’m going to murder him with my bare hands when I get home.”
“I’ll help,” Lucy promised. “But what’s done is done. Dean and Alexis are gone, and it’s not like he could just change his mind and say, ‘oops, my bad.’ One other thing – Clara overheard the conversation.”
“I think I feel a migraine developing,” Micah said.
“Dinner? I’m buying.”
“Yeah, sure. Let’s have it delivered. I don’t feel like peopling right now.”
“I feel ya.”
Lucy headed back to her room for a shower and a change of clothes. Although the incident with the hunters and Dean’s awful decision wasn’t her fault, her presence in Ivy Springs has been a curse for the city. Maybe it was time to pack up and go home.

Micah
Micah was furious. What in the hell had Dean been thinking?
Dean picked up his phone on the second ring.
“Go ahead. Let me have it,” Dean said, without even a greeting.
“Why?”
“It was the only thing that I could think to do at the moment,” Dean said. “She burst in on me and took me by surprise. She had already picked up her phone to call someone. I didn’t know what else to do.”
“Anything but kidnap her,” Micah roared.
He could feel his blood pressure rising, and his white knuckles showed with his clenched fists.
