places..." and then pointing at Jade and giggling. Evan got them both up while Frank practically carried Jade to the car. Evan drove as he had been elected their designated driver while the girls sat in the back singing along to the radio. Sandi changed back into her other set of clothes, although she’d had trouble getting her jeans on, the girls helped her while teasing her about Danny.
"Sandi, what are you gonna do if Danny doesn't come to the bonfire? Is he the one that you want?" Traci laughed with Jade at their reference to the eighties movie, Grease .
Sandi rolled her eyes, "Yeah, like I haven't heard that before." Everyone had poked at them when they had dated last time, asking them if they were going to break out in song or why Danny wasn't wearing his T-birds jacket when they were out. "Can't anyone find a new joke?" She still cracked a smile when she said it thinking she was actually hopelessly devoted to Danny for the rest of her life. Maybe she was more like her movie counterpart than she wanted to admit.
They were going through Longmont, which was a town about fifteen miles outside of Johnstown when another car came up behind them. Frank turned around in the front seat and said, "Evan, just slow down a little, and he can pass."
Evan eased up on the gas, and they slowed down a little. A second later, they were thrown forward when they were hit from behind. They all looked at each other with wide, frightened eyes. Not one of them could say if they were frightened of the car behind them or the fact that they all realized at the same time this meant they had to call Jared. The proverbial shit just hit the fan.
Traci picked up her cell phone and hit speed dial. Jared picked up on the second ring, "Hey there, what are you doing still up? Waiting for me to come home or can you not wait?" he said in that deep, smoky voice she loved.
"Jared, we are about ten miles outside of Longmont and there is a car behind us that has already rammed us once. Evan is driving evasively, but he seems to be gaining on us," Traci said, trying to remain calm knowing her man would save the day.
Jared's voice immediately changed. "We are on our way, and tell Evan to keep it steady and not to overcorrect too much if he rams you again. Stay on the line with me, baby. Don't worry, we are coming," as he was speaking to Traci, he was signaling Miles to grab Danny. They had been at the station getting coffee when she called and by Jared's tone, Miles knew this was bad. He ran into the back to grab Danny while Jared talked to Traci, trying to figure out what was going on. The girls should be at the ranch asleep at this time of night, why were they on the road? Just then, Miles heard Jared growl and start firing questions.
"Danny, we've got a problem," Miles told him what he knew.
Immediately, his 'cop face' was in place. Danny slammed his coffee mug down, sloshing coffee on his hand and all over the counter. He stormed into the main room and started grabbing his gear.
"What do you mean Sandi is with you? Where is Scott?" Jared flashed his eyes at Miles, and Miles whipped out his cell phone to contact Scott. Jared placed a calming hand on Danny's shoulder when he heard his woman was in the car as well.
Danny glanced at Miles and saw he was already speaking to Scott.
Scott answered, "Yeah,” sounding as if he just woke up.
"Scott, what in holy hell is going on? Jared is on the phone right now with Traci, who informs us that she, Sandi, Jade, Frank, and Evan are in an SUV on their way back INTO town where they are being attacked," Miles fired into the phone as he grabbed his gear.
"I am so sorry. Jade came up and said they needed Sandi downstairs. She said Jared was down there. Dang, I was duped! I stayed up here and then I, uh, kinda fell asleep. I am so sorry, sir. What do I do?" Scott was stammering and begging for forgiveness.
"You go home. You are on suspension until Jared decides to deal with you," Miles growled into the phone and
