from Montana. That would have been a little over a week
ago. She again refused to allow me to visit Damian. I spoke to my
divorce attorney the same day and we filed for custody. We were
trying to force her to let me have my visitation rights. The
lawyer's name is Fred Tucker. He has an office across from the
courthouse. I haven't seen Elena since the day our divorce was
finalized eight years ago."
"Sit tight and I'll see you at the
arraignment. I've got to make some calls and I want to stop by Fred
Tucker's office. I am going to ask for bail but honestly, I am
doubtful they will allow it since you live out of state. Do you
have any family here?"
"I have a younger sister but I haven't seen
her in years. She was a friend of Elena's and took her side in the
divorce. I doubt she would want me to stay with her. Her name is
Evelyn Smith. The last I knew she lived at 305 Pecan, here in
Amarillo."
"Remember don't answer any questions unless I
am here. See you at the arraignment." Jacob stands and leaves the
room headed out to make his calls.

Lying on the narrow bunk in his cell, Dylan
lets his mind drift back to the mountains of Montana and how it
felt to hold Skye in his arms while she slept. He doesn't ever
remember enjoying holding a woman more. She fit perfectly against
him. Then he remembers holding her after he had told her about
Elena and his divorce. He felt cleansed that night, like a huge
weight lifted from his soul. Then he remembers the night after the
dinner honoring Bear and those wonderfully sweet kisses. His arms
ache to hold her again. When he closes his eyes he can taste her on
his lips and he longs for her deep in his soul.
A little while later a jailer comes to his
cell door and asks, "Drake, you have a visitor. She says she's your
sister. Do you want to talk to her?"
Surprised, Dylan says, "Sure, I guess."
Following the jailer into the visitation
area, he sees Evelyn sitting at a table. She looks tired and sad,
thinner than he remembers. Knowing they make recordings of
everything that transpires between inmates and their visitors he is
hesitant to say anything. Approaching the glass he says,
"Evelyn?"
"Dylan? Are you ok? I just heard you are in
jail. I didn't even know about Elena until this morning. Why Dylan?
What happened?"
Staring at her with a blank look on his face
he says, "I don't think I want to talk to you right now," and he
stands and calls for the jailer. He is terribly disappointed. His
sister seems to always think the worst about him, at least lately.
Evidently nothing has changed. When he left Elena and filed for
divorce, Elena had Evelyn some story about how it was his fault and
she wouldn't even listen to him then. He doesn't know why he
thought things might be different this time. His heart aches for
the closeness they once shared.
Evelyn Smith walks out of the jail and back
to her car. Sitting in the car she lets the tears fall. She loves
her brother and she doesn't understand why they are always fighting
these days. She longs for the days before he went away to the
Marines. They were close then. She has to find a way to help him.
Granted she had been mad at him when he left Elena, but that was
before she learned the truth. She saw Elena with that scumbag
Richard Thomas. They were disgusting making out in front of Damian
and flaunting their relationship all over Amarillo for years. The
man is married for goodness sake with three kids. Dylan doesn't
even know her husband, Jack, left her alone with two kids and ran
off with a waitress from the truck stop. Wiping her eyes, she heads
back to the mall to her job.

Jacob Murray asks his private investigator,
Tom Christensen to investigate Richard Thomas. He told him about
Thomas being the man Dylan found his wife with the day he filed for
divorce. He also subpoenaed Elena Drake's bank records for the past
year. He checked with Child Protective Services to find out where
Damian is staying and when he will be able to question
ago. She again refused to allow me to visit Damian. I spoke to my
divorce attorney the same day and we filed for custody. We were
trying to force her to let me have my visitation rights. The
