must’ve already been on his way - police must’ve called him before they came over. God, it’s nice to have the police in your back pocket at times like this…
    “Listen, I’m sorry to do this to you guys,” Rush said protectively, “but I’m not gonna wake Hannah up. She needs her slee—”
    “What’s going on?” Blue asked Rush through a yawn, standing in the front doorway. Turbo was firmly planted by her side. “I heard voices—” She saw Davis and Lopez and then behind them, Lain. “Oh, hi! Sorry, I didn’t see you guys.” Her voice was thick with sleep, her hair tousled, her clothes rumpled, and a big giant white bandage was wrapped around her head.
    Rush was pretty fucking sure he’d never seen such a gorgeous woman in all his life.

    Hannah squinted against the bright Arizona sun. Her head was throbbing and all she really wanted was to take some painkillers and go back to sleep, but these guys were all here for her. She had to do her best to help them however she could.
    Help them find Isabel.
    “Let’s go in out of this heat,” Rush suggested, and they all moved to the living room. Hannah settled into a gorgeous Mission couch, which was wonderfully even more comfortable than it looked, and Turbo jumped up beside her, half sitting on her, squashing her beneath his weight. He seemed to be taking his self-appointed duty as her protector seriously. She grinned at him and he licked her face in response.
    If nothing else good came out of this hellacious mess she found herself in, at least she had Turbo back again. As a puppy, he’d lived up to his name and even if he’d grown old and slow in her absence, his heart was still there. She’d missed his love almost as much as she’d missed Rush’s…
    “So, Miss Wright, let’s start with the kidnapping,” Officer Lopez said, taking the lead. “What happened on that bus?”
    She felt the stares of all of the men trained on her and she swallowed hard against the rising panic bubbling up inside of her. The last thing she wanted to do was to relive that day.
    “Well, as I already told the Tucson police,” she started out defensively, knowing that this sounded slightly bitchy but dear God, didn’t anyone understand that this had been, by far, the most awful day of her life? Why were they forcing her to relive it, again and again and again?
    “We were on the bus, on the way to church camp. It’s a long bus ride and the girls were all getting antsy and tired of being on the bus, so when the motorcyclists pulled up on either side of the bus, they all got excited. They were loud and shiny and something to look at other than cacti and mesquite bushes. The riders surrounded the bus though, forcing Miguel, the driver, to stop, and then they busted onto the bus. The first guy had a shotgun in his hand and was waving it around. The girls were screaming—”
    “Hold on, how exactly did you describe the gang members to the Tucson police?” Lain interrupted.
    “Ummm…” Hannah stared at him, confused why this would matter but trying to remember. She’d been in and out of consciousness when the Tucson police had questioned her, and the whole conversation was a little fuzzy around the edges. “I just called them motorcyclists, I think. Why?”
    “Do you realize that the Tucson police would then be looking at any motorcycle club? God, Hannah, you helped frame the Blue Devils, especially after you—” he pointed a finger at Rush accusingly, “then up and kidnapped her! We’re lucky we’re not all wearing shiny silver bracelets right now!”
    Rush leaned over and grabbed Hannah’s hand comfortingly and she looked beseechingly at the Copper Lode policemen. “I promise you, it wasn’t the Blue Devils! They would never do anything like that. They’re a clean gang - all they do is fundraisers and charity events!” The police officers exchanged glances and she felt Rush tense up beside her. Lain looked at her as if she’d lost her damn
