13.
Half an hour later…
Jeremy hurried into the church office.
Where he found Mack and Charles looking very unhappy, bloody, and sick. He looked to Charlie who sat on the floor, quiet, sensing the somber mood. Once the door closed behind him Mack ordered him, "You are going to take Charlie and go to the nearest airport and go home."
Jeremy blinked, "Excuse me?"
Wasting no time Charles picked his son up, kissed the top of his head, and informed the young man, "Armando's dead and Victoria was kidnapped."
Jeremy's eyes got bigger.
"And Sarah just took off on us," Mack added.
Jeremy backed into a chair and sat, before he could argue to be involved Charles told him, "Take Charlie home. He needs to get out of here and somewhere safe. Once we get Victoria we're heading home."
"What about Sarah?"
"Yeah, her too," Mack muttered.

Sarah walked numbly down the dusty street and managed to bottle everything inside, for now.
Later she would grieve.
First, she had to find her sister.
Second, she had to kill the man responsible for making her the world's youngest widow, naturally.
She'd heard Ryan on the phone and knew Charles and Mack were going to find Victoria. She knew this Carlos guy was going to try and find her too. So she was going to stop him she decided.
When she spotted a golf cart running she climbed in and sped off, heading toward the other side of the island, where Carlos's mansion was. After a brief stop at the sporting store. With enough luck she could beat Mack and Charles to the mansion, which was what she was hoping for.
