Chapter 46 – Connection Made
Connor pressed his hand to his chest, breathing hard. “I’ve got to go,” he gasped to the assembled men in the room.
“Go where?” Ellis demanded when the others remained silent with knowing expressions on their faces.
“I…don’t….know…” his face scrunched up in thought, twisting as he tried to make sense of the images he’d seen inside his head.
“Give the boy some space,” Nathan admonished…

Chapter 53 – The Airport
Sage swam as far as he dared before going to shore. Walking on shaky legs that felt like jello after having adjusted to swimming underwater. It wasn’t until he walked into the airport that he realized he was only wearing his heart boxes. A couple of young girls twittered nervously behind their hands. Others just wrinkled their noses in disgust at him.
The glare he received from the ticket…

Chapter 57 – Trial and Punishment
Several months later Caleb came home to find his husbands anxiously waiting for his arrival. “Well” they chorused together looking at him.
“It’s over,” he announced doing little to ease their anxious expressions.
“But … she’s still free,” Connor mumbled, not liking the idea of her walking about free to do whatever she pleased.

“Well isn’t this sweet,” a familiar but not welcome voice said as the three moved apart.
“Leave them alone,” Caleb stepped forward hoping to protect his husbands the only way he knew how.
Tilting her head to the side “why would I do that?”
“I’ll do anything you want,” he pulled himself free from his husbands restraining hands.
“Caleb don’t,” Sage cried.
“We’ll find another way,”…

“Are you sure we’re going in the right direction?” Sage asked wiping sweat from his brow.
“Yeah,” he folded the map and stored it inside his duffel bag.
“How much further?”
Grimacing “you sound like one of the kids. Whine, whine, whine.”
“Sorry,” he murmured, slinging his heavy duffel bag over his shoulder.
Watching him Connor reached for the bag, “hand it over.”
Jerking away…

Chapter 50 – Instincts
Connor glared between the two older men he’d known all his life. Respected them. He’d always thought they knew everything …. “It’s been two days,” his voice rose, showing his frustration as the two men lifted their heads in amusement at him.
“Son why don’t you go outside with Elli?” Nathan suggested with a smile.
Bristling under what he felt was a patronizing tone. “No. I won’t sit on the…

Chapter 41 – Incident on the Beach
Nathan took careful aim, blocking out everything else. The only thing that mattered was stopping those men from taking his son. Slowly his finger pulled the trigger. His arm recoiled from the repercussion from the blast. The shot echoed in his as he watched the results of his aim.
Connor closed his eyes as he felt the bullet pass his ear. The man holding him grunted as the bullet tore through…

Standing Connor called to Charlee and Cooper, “come on kids it’s time to go.”
“No” Cooper whined sitting on the ground “stay.”
“Go bye bye” Charlee asked eager to see and do something different.
“No bye bye” Cooper wailed “play.”
“You can play later” Connor told him as he scooped him up from the sand before he took off for one of the tunnels. He’d done that before refusing to come out for hours.
