“Not just you. We’re here too. And we’ll do whatever we need to help.” Izan pointed at himself and Zack.

“You guys will help?” Bryce asked them.

“Of course. We’re family. What do you need?” Zack leaned over the table.

Penny looked the men in the eyes. Each was ready to face who knew what. “Thank you.”

“Okay, so where do we start?” Bryce was ready for action as always.

“I don’t know why Sosa would target my family, but I’m going to call my brother-in-law before we do anything else. He needs to know.”

“Do you think they planned this? Your sister and kids taken the same time the governor’s family is kidnapped?” Izan asked.

“I don’t know, maybe they wanted the distraction. But I have to call Dan. Why don’t you do a quick search of the house. See if Gomez and his goons took anything. Left anything. You get the idea. Bryce and I can start upstairs after I call. You guys go through the main living area.”

After Penny called Dan and told him what was going on, Bryce and Penny quickly searched through the kids’ rooms together. “Nothing here. You?” Bryce asked as he righted the rocket lamp that had been knocked over in Harry’s room.

“Just my phone. It must’ve fallen out of my pocket earlier. Let’s try Libby’s room.”

The blankets on the king-sized bed bunched up in the middle. A novel lay on the floor next to a pillow that had been knocked off. They’d probably grabbed Libby as she was winding down for the evening. The kids as they slept. They must be terrified. Penny couldn’t think about that too much. She had to focus on finding them.

On the nightstand next to the bed, Libby’s phone charged on a wireless charger. Another cord next to it dangled off the edge.

“Her watch!”

Bryce paused his search on the other side of the bed. “What?”

“We can track her smartwatch with her phone.”

“Doesn’t the watch have to be near the phone for that to work?”

“Libby doesn’t like to take her phone when she runs, so she has a cell plan just for the watch. It should give me her exact location.” Penny snatched the phone off the charger.

“You know your sister’s password?” Bryce came and looked over her shoulder.

“You know Logan’s?” She gave him a look.

“Point taken.”

She opened up the app, clicked on the map icon and zoomed in. “Do you know where this is?”

“Looks like a trailer on the outside of town.”

“This is where they must be keeping her and the kids.”

“Let’s go,” Bryce hollered as he ran downstairs. “We got ’em.”

They showed the location to the others.

“Do any of you have a weapon?” Penny asked them.

“I’ve got a pistol in the truck,” Zack said. Izan shook his head.

“We need more firepower. Dan must have something around here.” Penny spun around the living room where they stood.

“There’s a 12-gauge with a box of ammo on top of the hutch over there,” Izan said. “I saw it as we were searching.” He pointed toward the dining room.

“We’ll take that. I have my backup weapon in the guest room.” Penny grabbed the shotgun and handed it to Bryce. “I assume you know how to use that?”
