Davey pulled a gun from behind, aiming it at Erick.

“How exactly do you plan to kill me, you fool? Do you think your men can outdraw my bullet?”

With Raegan in his grip and Erick at gunpoint, both appeared cornered and outmatched.

Davey, losing his patience, shouted, “Maybe you can convince your sister to tell me where she hid Casey, or she’ll be the first to go, then you!”

Erick stood firm.

“Davey, I’ve already involved the police from Houghton and Aurora.

I’d think about giving up if I were you.

Davey sneered, “You really don’t get it, do you? I’ll only count to three.

He ominously announced, “At three, you’ll watch your sister’s brains paint the pavement, then you two can lie there together.

Erick’s skin crawled, and he shouted, “Try it, I dare you!”

Davey’s smile was sinister as he began to count, “Three… Two.

.

But just before he could say “one,” a figure moved swiftly by.

Raegan was thrown aside by some unseen force, and a loud thud echoed.

It sounded like someone had fallen from a great height.

Raegan’s heart raced.

The cold smell of cedar filled the air.

The smell was unmistakably Mitchel’s.

Could it really be him?

Raegan’s face drained of color as she hurried to the window.

At first glance, she noticed a man on the ground, surrounded by pools of blood.

She couldn’t see anything else.

“Erick…” she whispered, on the verge of calling out when a familiar voice interrupted her.

“Aren’t you going to help me up?”

Turning around, Raegan saw Mitchel clutching a cross beside the church, his eyes fixed on her.

She blinked several times, hard.

It was no illusion.

It was truly Mitchel! He was the one who had rushed over and pushed Davey down!

Raegan stared down from the high window and then at Mitchel, speechless and overwhelmed by emotion.

It was incredibly risky.

He had to have lost his mind…

Before Raegan could process it all, Erick had come up, pushing her gently aside to pull Mitchel inside.

Once Mitchel was inside, Erick breathed a deep sigh of relief and exclaimed, “Thank goodness the plan worked!”

It turned out this had all been part of their plan, with one attracting Davey’s attention below and the other sneaking up for an attack.

Still, the plan was incredibly risky.

“Erick, our mom is…” Before Raegan could finish, Erick cut in.

“Don’t worry.

We’ve found her.

She’s safe in the hospital for a check-up.

We’ll visit her soon.
