      “No, she didn’t. I’m sorry, but she didn’t tell me anything other than the fact she expected the ticket to arrive soon.”

      “I don’t know what’s going on with her anymore,” Andrea said, her head clogged with the extent of Shannon’s secrecy.

      “If it helps any, Shannon felt pressured by her father to go to Phoenix,” Kyle offered apologetically.

      “That miserable man. I’m going to call Scott. He’s got a lot of explaining to do.” Andrea stood to get her phone.

      Jake held up his hand. “That can wait. First, let’s find Shannon. Why don’t we go to the airport and see if she’s there?”

      Again Jake’s calm demeanor eased her panic. “You’re right. I’m just so angry and afraid and mixed-up and hurt.”

      “I know,” Gina said, her voice gentle. “We’ll find Shannon before she gets to Phoenix. She couldn’t have left the house much before you got home.”

      Jake stood. “Let’s go now.”

      “You’re coming with me?” Andrea asked, surprised.

      Jake’s expression was resolute. “You asked for my help. I’m giving it.”
