That\u2019s not good.\u201d<\/p>\n Her paintings were strewn over her worktable. Every single one\u2014the meadows, deer, rivers, wolves and coyotes, mountains, birds\u2014had been marked up with a black, permanent marker. And each of her nine-by-twelve-inch canvases appeared to have been sliced with something the With quaking fingers, she made a call. \u201cNo way.\u201d Her face and ears turned red.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?\u201d<\/p>\n She shook her head and made another call. \u201cI can\u2019t believe this.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBoth Matt and Olivia\u2019s phones are no longer in service.\u201d She shoved the cell into her back pocket. \u201cWhat are we going to do? How am I going to find my son?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cChuck will find him.\u201d He had to. Chad strode to the table and began stacking the paintings.<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t bother. Matt\u2019s behind this mess. Besides, we\u2019ll figure out where he has Basin before his fingerprints are processed.\u201d<\/p>\n Sophie ambled over to one of her wooden easels that lay splintered on the brown carpet. \u201cWhen I left, this canvas . . . was on the . . .\u201d She pointed to the easel. \u201cIt was yellow with The owl painting now lay crumpled on the floor, a dirty footprint across the top. She picked up the piece and traced the rough gash puncturing its heart.<\/p>\n \u201cHow will we find Basin? How will I provide for him? I need money to pay rent. It\u2019s due tomorrow.\u201d Sophie squeezed her eyes shut. \u201cOh, God, why? Why Basin? Why Chad brought her to his chest and let her cry. Releasing an animal-like howl, she collapsed into his embrace. \u201cHe\u2019ll pay for this.\u201d Author Bio:<\/p>\n Carmen Peone is an award-winning author who loves to write inspirational stories of hope, healing, & horses that lead to happily ever after.<\/p>\n She is one of the few authors who has not always dreamed of writing.
