“Bridget?”Lacy asked.
“Travis’s mate is also a CSF special agent,” Rory said.“She’s able to read minds.”
“Wow.That must come in handy in her line of work.Do you have any other psychics in town other than Nina and Ava, also?”
“Well, if you hadn’t heard, Chase, Stryker, and Leyton have seen ghosts before.Chase, more so than the others, when they were on a mission in a ghost town.”
“That’s amazing.”Then she bit her lip.“Did any of them see the brothers’ ghosts?”
Rory got on his Bluetooth and called Chase.“Hey, Lacy wants to know if you saw the brothers’ ghosts when you were retrieving their bodies from the mountain of snow.”
“No.I don’t always see them, thank heavens,” Chase said.“I asked Leyton and Stryker if they had just out of curiosity's sake, but they both said they hadn’t.”
“Good.So they’re not hanging about Florence’s home to haunt her or me when I visit.”
“Right.Just to let you know, some of us are following Ren and Canton out of town to ensure they’re leaving for good,” Chase said.
“Oh, that’s great.What is Dan going to do about Timothy and Manning’s cars?”she asked.
“Leave them in case they show up looking for them,” Chase said.“We’ll let them know if we don’t find the ‘missing’ brothers after so long, and they can decide what to do with their vehicles.”
“I don’t think Canton believed me when I said I hadn’t seen the brothers.”
“Yeah.I wish Bridget could have been there to overhear the conversation.They’re pulling off the road for gas, so I need to let you go.”
“All right.Thanks, Chase.”
“No problem.We keep our own people safe.”
She and Rory left the truck and headed inside the bunkhouse, but before they could remove their coats and boots and slip off to their bedroom, Blaze and Wyatt began harassing Rory for taking an extended holiday vacation.
Rory just smiled.“We needed the extra time for each other.”
“Are the two of you all right?”Wyatt asked, all joking aside.
“Yeah.”Lacy explained about the men being identical quadruplets, but that the other two had left town.
Blaze rubbed his beard, frowning.“Were you able to tell them apart?”
“We only saw one of them, but he looked identical to Timothy and Manning.They smelled the same, talked the same, just identical in all ways,” she said.
“That had to be a shock when you saw the new one,” Wyatt said.
“It was.I nearly fainted.If I had seen both of them, I would have thought that Timothy and Manning had come back from the dead.”
“Yeah, I think all of us felt that way,” Rory said.“I hope your Christmas was good.”
His friends grunted at him.“It was, until we had to navigate the snow to feed the animals without an extra ranch hand,” Wyatt said.
Rory smiled.“I knew you could do it.”
“If you must know,” Lacy said, rubbing Rory’s back, “he really worried about you guys doing all that work and about the animals.”
“Ted and Hal were out helping us,” Blaze said.“You know how they are.There’s no job too big or small that they won’t help out when they’re needed.”
“Well, we’re pooped.We’re going to hit the shower and go to bed,” Wyatt said.“We’re glad you got rid of the menace, and you’re back home safely.All the reception was out here, and we tried to check on you, worried you might try and make it back home to work.”
“We couldn’t.The road conditions were just too bad.”Rory showed them the picture he took of the wall of snow at the garage door.
