  He might not want her to help with the search, but she had no intention of staying behind. Brady needed her, and she needed to be there for him. That was the way it had been from the moment he was born, the bond between them so strong that she’d thought that nothing would ever tear them apart.

  Something had.

  Someone had.

  She clenched her fist.

  Please, God, just let him be okay. Please, help me find him.

  Please.

  She could not lose her son.

  Wouldn’t lose him.
