“We have an additional problem, Sheriff Taylor. One of our female agents has been climbing in your area and hasn’t been heard from in a while.”

“You’re kidding?” The sheriff’s shock was clear. “Any idea where she’s staying?”

Jack looked at Zeke who shook his head.

“No, but what about Dawn? Where was she staying?”

“The Wind River Cabins. You think your person is staying there?”

“I don’t have any idea.” Jack drummed his fingers on the desk.

“I can find out for you. There are only a few motels around the area. The cabins are the nicest and seem popular with climbers. I’ll give you a call back once I know.”

“Thank you. I’ll wait to hear from you.” Jack ended the call.

“We need to get there now.” Zeke paced the room, unable to stay seated any longer.

“We’re going to assist, but I need you to calm down.”

Zeke stopped.

“Whatever is going on with you and Sierra can’t be a part of this. You hear me?”

Zeke dropped to his seat again. “I hear you.”

Megan knocked once and came in. “Anything yet?”

Jack updated her on what Sheriff Taylor said. “He should be calling back soon.”

Megan sighed. “I’m worried too, Jack. You know Sierra always has her phone with her. She’s not answering my texts, and I tried pinging her phone. It’s turned off. Her watch isn’t responding either.”

Jack’s brows knitted together. “Get the team ready to leave soon. Have them all meet us at the plane.” His attention landed on Zeke. “Go home and pack. We leave in an hour.”

Zeke practically ran from the office. “Let’s go.” He told his sister and brother-in-law.

“Where are we going?” Hannah asked as she and Cooper followed Zeke from BAU Headquarters in Quantico, Virginia.

“To Wyoming. We’re leaving in an hour.”

“Jack agreed to this?” Cooper seemed to hold doubts.

“He did. We’re going after Sierra.”

Cooper’s phone beeped through a message. “Hannah, Zeke’s right. We leave in an hour.”

“Okay. You can ride with us, Zeke. We’ll drop you off at your place and then pick you up on our way back.” Hannah caught up with him. “Take a breath, brother.”

Zeke stopped and turned to her. “I’m okay.”

“You’re not. You’re doing what you normally do and plowing forward without thinking things through.”

Guilty as charged.

“I’m thinking clearly, Sis. I just want her to be okay.” Hannah wrapped her arms around him.

He slowly accepted her hug and let go of the tension coiled tight inside his body.

“I know you do. We’ll get her back.”
