Chapter 68
The man passed out after delivering those words that she would never forget. She called his name, tried to grab for him. But people were there. Sage and Joel. They were both there. Sage helped her to her feet. “Auggie, we need you to move back.”
Gabe Masterson, Jack’s younger brother, was doing something she couldn’t identify to that horrible pig of a man who had done this. “He said he shot his brother. He said he killed Kameron.”
Sage was holding her balanced. Keeping Auggie on her feet. “Cadell found Kameron. Kameron is already at the hospital. Claudia did the escort herself. We’re going to get you all there now. Come on, Claud is waiting for you all now. Come on.”
“Em and Junie—the rest of the girls. I don’t know where the babies are—Markie and Maeya. Clancy has them—Cloe said Clancy has them at the neighbors’. I need to find my babies, too.”
“I have already sent Cade Newlin and one of our new deputies over to Em and Junie now. There is a WHP road officer with Clancy, too. He is going to drive Clancy and the babies to the hospital. Claudia and Cadell don’t know about this yet, I think.
I am going to call the hospital and have them kept there until Cal gets there.
We’re just going to get you there. Can you tell me why he did this? ”
She looked at the men who had just entered. Weatherbys. Something about seeing the two of them made her feel…better. They were always there when the bad things were over, winding down. There were good guys there.
That meant…Auggie swayed a little. “I’m sorry…I just…”
“She’s lost a lot of blood, Sage.” It was Cloe behind her who said it, she thought.
But it was Ransom Weatherby who just swooped her right off her feet as the world went dark around her.
“I just want to find my family and make sure everyone is okay. And Cal…I need him to be okay,” she whispered the words against his neck. “I want this to be over and I want us all to be okay.”
“Then let me get you there. I think you’ve been through enough.”
