“Tynan?” she asked in disbelief. “Is that you?” “Where’s Chris?” he asked at once. Pilar sat up straighter. “I don’t know. She’s been gone for hours and I heard the dogs and men yelling but I didn’t hear anything from her. Ty, I’m worried about her.” Tynan’s face showed what he thought of Chris leaving the room. “How did she get out?” Pilar started to stand. “We tore the bed sheets into strips and she went down through the window. Ty! You’re injured. Here, sit down.” “I don’t have time. I have to find her and soon. Leave that alone, it’s not bad, just a couple of dog bites. Why in the hell did you let her go? I don’t expect her to have any sense, but you, Pilar, I expected more from you. I told you to watch her.” “How was I supposed to stop her? Dysan said that he’d sent out over a hundred men to stop anyone from finding us. You could have been dead for all we knew and then Chris said Dysan wasn’t going to release us since we could identify him.”
