yank the gate open and run Blue out of there.
I start running for the open air and someone grabs me from behind. I try to scream but my screams are muffled by a hand over my mouth. I can’t see who is behind me. They are dressed completely in black and the smoke in the stables is getting dense. I am thrashing trying to free myself from my captor. I hear yelling coming from outside. It’s Buddy. He is yelling that the stables are on fire. All of the sudden I am slammed to the ground and my abductor runs off. I try to make it out but I can’t breathe. I see Buddy “Avery? Oh no Avery!” I pass out.
I awake several hours later in the hospital. It is early Friday morning. Dr. Lancaster checks me over. He tells me I suffered smoke inhalation. “I am going to keep you for a while longer. I just want to make sure your vitals stay normal. I may release you by lunch time.” Before I can argue he walks out of the room.
“You heard the man darlin. Besides, after what has happened you need your rest.” Uncle Rex uttered. Julie and Chance walk in to the room. “We were so worried.” Julie says. They both hug me. Do you have any idea who would do this?” Chance asked. I know exactly wh o . “No. I haven’t got a clue.” I say in a raspy voice. “I hate to cut this short but we both need to get to work. I will call you later and I am glad you are ok.” Julie says as she and Chance leave.
Chapter Eight
Buddy comes in the room with breakfast for the three of us. I am so upset I can’t eat. My stomach is in knots. “I am sorry Buddy I can’t eat right now. “It’s ok.” “Buddy, I can’t thank you enough for what you did. You saved my life.” Buddy shrugs it off. “It was nothing.” “I am so proud of both of you. You both are a lot stronger than I give you credit for.” Uncle Rex smiles.
“Buddy, how are my babies?” “They are fine Avery. Doc checked them out this morning and they all looked real good. I have some of the guys repairing the stables. Fortunately there wasn’t a lot of damage. We were able to get the fire out quickly.”
All of the sudden I hear a commotion outside. I hear someone yell. “Please I need to see her.” Oh shit! It’s Grant . What is he doing here? Who is he arguing wit h ? I realize in that moment Uncle Rex and Buddy have security stationed outside my room.
Buddy steps outside. “It’s ok. He can come in. Grant walks in he looks tired and flustered. He nods to Buddy and Uncle Rex and rushes over to me and sits on the edge of my bed. “Oh Avery are you all right? I heard what happened.” I’m so confused. “Yes. I’m fine.” “Don’t let my darling niece fool you. She could have been killed.” Uncle Rex smirks.
“Grant what are you doing here? How did you hear about the fire?” “Avery I always stay informed with the local news of any city I do business in. I was reading over the online addition of the newspaper and the top story was about what happened to you. The paper said that you were attacked? “Avery is that true?” I’m speechless. “Damn right it’s true.” Buddy mumbles.
Sherriff Pullman, and another deputy walk in my room. “Avery, I’m sorry to bother you but we need to talk about what happened at the ranch.” I explain to Sherriff Pullman what I remember about what happened. As I recall last night’s events, Grant grabs my hand squeezing it tight. I can see the anger tense across his face. “Avery we are working every angle we can to track down the person or persons responsible.”
“What I need to tell you based on the evidence found we don’t believe that they were after your horse Sapphire.” He pauses. “Avery, we believe they were after you.” I’m stunned. I look around the room. Grant, Uncle Rex and Buddy look shocked. “Sherriff how
