Lisa smiled over at Katie as she played with her tea set. She had just gotten off the phone with Jack. They still hadn't found anything. She wished she could something, anything to help. Jack sounded so disappointed and she could hear the hurt in his voice even if he thought he hid it. She sighed. As she came around the dining room table her phone chimed. Katie smiled at her. "Wanna play tea party with me?"
Lisa put her finger up. "Just give me a minute to answer this okay sweetheart?" Katie nodded before going back to giving her teddy bear a plastic cookie.
After unlocking the screen she noticed it was another text from Ty. Jack had mentioned it might be a good idea to let him know what's going on. But she really didn't wanna be the one to do that. Lou had made it obvious she wasn't going to. "Still no news." She ended up texting.
"Now tea party?" Katie pouted making Lisa laugh.
"You missed the turn back there." Mitch said pointing and stretching his neck to look.
"We've been down that road. Twice, in fact." Jack stated his eyes never leaving the road.
"This is way off the beaten path. Don't you think Jack?"
"We've tried every where else." He barked at him but didn't mean too. "Sorry, Mitch. I'm just..."
"Me too." He nodded resting his head on his hand as he starred out his side looking for any possible clue or sign of them. He'd gotten rather close to the Bartlett/Fleming family. Although he hadn't really gotten to know all of them, especially Ty and Lisa. He did work closely with Amy and Jack on a daily basis. And Lou, well she was a little more complicated.
"Stop!" He shouted as he looked up. "There's Georgie!"
Jack slammed on the break. Mitch already half way out the door. "Georgie?!" He yelled jumping out following Mitch. Georgie's smile said it all as she leaped off Spartan and into Jack's arms. Mitch grabbing the horse's lead. "Are you alright?" He asked seeing the tears running down her face.
It took her a second to answer as she tried to stop herself from crying. "Yes. I think so." "Where's Amy and Tim?"
"Back that way about half a mile." Her voice cracked.
"What happened?"
"We crashed." She said through sobs. Jack's heart breaking seeing her so upset. "Amy and Tim are hurt, bad."
Jack looked up at Mitch. "You keep Georgie here. Call for help. And have Lou call Ty." He said in a serious tone. His mind racing with what ifs.
Mitch pulled Georgie close to him. He could feel her shaking against him as she cried. She buried her face into his chest. Mitch watched as Jack disappeared around the corner hoping everything would be alright.
Mitch and Georgie were sat in Jack's truck. He looked over at a still upset Georgie then back down at his phone. He clicked Lou's name in his contacts and waited.
"It's Mitch!" Lou said excited and hopeful. Her and Lisa had just been talking about how neither had heard anything for almost an hour. "Mitch?!" Lou said as she answered it.
"Hey, Lou. We found them." His smile was heard through the phone. "Georgie's okay. A little shaken up but okay."
"They found them!" Lou shouted back at Lisa who was still sitting on the couch.
"You wanna talk to your mom?" Mitch asked handing his phone to her.
"Mom?" Georgie's voice was small but happy.
"Georgie?!" Tears rolled down Lou's face. "Hey, honey." Lisa stood beside her now a smile on her face. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Her voice still hoarse from crying. "I love you."
"I love you too." She smiled through her tears. "What happened?" She asked once she heard Mitch take the phone.
"There was a car accident. I'm not sure the details yet. Jack's with your dad and Amy." He paused. "They're hurt. And it sounds bad."
"How bad?" She shouted as she started shaking. This got Lisa's attention.
"Lou, you need to call Ty. Let him know." Mitch's voice was quiet.
She nodded as new tears fell. "You promise me Georgie's okay?"
"I promise."
"Tell her Peter's on his way home." Lou hung up after Mitch agreed.
"I'll call Casey." Lisa said once she let go of Lou who had practically leaped into her arms after hanging up. Lou just nodded. She sunk down onto the couch the minute Lisa left the room.
Lou took a deep breath before clicking Ty's name. She'd wished she could have just sent a text. That way she didn't have to hear Ty break down. But he needed to know. Ty finally picked up. "Ty?" She shouted over the noise in the background. "What's that noise?"
"Hi, Lou." He finally said. "I'm at the airport."
"Grandpa and Mitch found them." She heard Ty let out a sigh of relief. "There was an accident."
"Is Amy okay?" He asked frantic. "Lou?" He asked again when she didn't answer him.
"Georgie's fine but my dad and Amy weren't as lucky." She practically whispered. She heard Ty sniff as if he'd started to cry.
"I'm stuck in Halifax." He said after a few minutes. "There's a storm so the flights are delayed." He sounded frustrated.
"Halifax?! What are you doing in Halifax?" She asked surprised.
"I'm coming home." He sighed. "She has to be okay, Lou." His voice cracked.
"She's gonna be so happy. She's missed you so much."
"Did Jack say...anything?"
"No. I talked to Mitch." The sadness in his voice started to make her emotional again. "I'm sure she's gonna be okay. The baby too."
"Amy?!" Jack shouted frantically as he caught sight of the truck and trailer. His walk now a sprint. "Tim?!" The truck was very badly damaged only raising his concerns. "Amy! Tim!" Neither answered back. "Amy?!" He shouted again rounding the front of the truck making his way to the passenger side. Amy and Tim were both laying there unresponsive. Making him wonder how Georgie had been so lucky. He pulled on the dented door trying to open it but it wouldn't budge. After several minutes he finally managed to pry it open. "Amy?" His voice caught in his throat as he lightly touched her arm. He noticed a few small cuts on her face from the glass but nothing too deep. "Amy...come on sweetie. You gotta wake up." He said softly fighting tears.
Amy slowly opened her eyes. "Grandpa?" She whispered.
"Hey...everything's gonna be okay. Helps coming." He grabbed her hand and held it tightly.
"I lost the baby...didn't I?" She asked tears threatening to fall.
"No, honey." He reassured but wasn't as convincing. "Everything's gonna be alright." He looked over at Tim noticing a blood stain on his shirt. "Tim?" He shouted but he never moved. "How longs he been out?" Amy shrugged her shoulders. And groaned quietly as the movement made her side hurt. "Amy...you gotta stay awake." He was beginning to get worried. Amy looked pale and tired. And even if she thought she could hide it he could tell she was in a lot of pain. Tim looked about the same. And the fact that he couldn't wake him even more alarming. He wished he could get to him. But his side of the truck was right up against the rocks.
"I'm scared." Amy whispered getting his attention.
Jack forced a small smile. "You're gonna be just fine. The baby too."
"I'm sorry." She said before looking at Tim then back to Jack.
"This isn't your fault." Jack knew exactly what Amy thought. And assuming her she blamed herself. "Amy!" She was holding her side tightly again.
"It really hurts." She closed her eyes.
"Amy! Come on. Stay awake." Jack shouted. But it was no use she didn't respond. "Come on! Amy!"
He sighed slightly relieved when he heard sirens in the distance.
