Carol hovered at the door, having taken care of the twins and Max, and the Feds sat at the table with cell phones silent and laptops open. Robbie had left a while back; he, Vaughn, and Liam still had chores, and horses waited for no kidnapping. Someone gave him a whiskey, Eden. She placed it in his hand, then resumed her seat curled up next to Jack holding his other hand.

Josh immediately crossed to Jack and slapped a hand on his shoulder. “Anna is upstairs with the kids. She has Lexie and Connor with Carol. She’s there if we need her.” “Need her?”
