Ty felt helpless as he watched Amy grow more impatient and more worried. If being honest the small space was starting to close in on him. It was unusual given he'd spend a fair amount of time in a jail cell. But the desperation was eating at him. Amy had decided on a nap which left Ty alone with his thoughts. There had to be a way out. A way to get help. Or get back to the truck at least. He sat leaning back in the chair he was in by the fire. He yawned watching Amy. He hadn't slept since this whole thing. If he did it was only for an hour at a time before waking up startled. Most of the time he just layed their awake watching Amy sleep. He blamed himself somehow. He knew it wasn't his fault at all. He didn't wreak the dock or push Amy in. He didn't cause it to break but he chose to blame himself. He didn't pick their destination it had been Amy which was probably weighing on her too if she wasn't preoccupied. If she wasn't eating she was sleeping. And he didn't blame her for being tired. He was sure the scare and cold water was enough to fatigue her body. As he sat there watching her he thought about what everyone else back at Heartland must be thinking or doing. 2 days they had been missing. He wasn't dumb he knew searching for them was a needle in a haystack not to mention the storm was limiting. Amy stirred and opened her eyes. She greeted him with a sleepy smile. "Lay with me." She asked patting the side of the bed he had been in an hour ago.
"Sure." He said getting up a smile on his face as he crawled in beside her wrapping her in his arms.

Tim had been gone almost an hour. Lisa placed the length of the barn as Jack did the feeding and checking on the horses. He was patting Spartan when Lisa finally stopped, turning to face him. "How you holding up?" She could tell he was hiding his emotions as he did. He was never one to show how he felt.
"Okay." He said never looking up from Spartan's stall. "You miss her don't ya?" He whispered giving him one last rub before facing Lisa. She was now looking out toward the driveway. "Lis?"
"Uh..." She asked her eyes on the driveway.
"Did you see something?" He touched her shoulder.
"What? No." She shook it off as she left the barn.
"What's going on?"
"Tim's been gone awhile. Should we be concerned?"
"He deals with stuff his own way."
"Yeah, that's my point." She turned to face him as they stopped half way back to the house.
"I'm surprised he hadn't been more angry too but we can't control him. He's a grown man, sorta." He chuckled at the last part.
Lisa smiled. "He wouldn't do anything crazy, right?"
Jack considered her words before nodding. "I'll go check on him." He sighed as he grabbed his keys from his pocket.

Jack pulled his truck over to the side of the road behind Tim's. He was about 10 minutes from Hudson. Jack shut the engine off and hesitated for a few minutes before exiting the truck and heading for Tim's. He opened the passenger side door and got in. No words were exchanged for several minutes. Tim kept his head straight ahead. His hand on the steering wheel tight. His anger and frustration hyper focused on that wheel. Jack didn't have to ask he knew where Tim's thoughts were. Nothing he said would change them. The silence was soon broken by Tim sighing before he finally spoke. His voice ruff. "I imagined all the things that could have gone wrong. All the trouble Ty would cause. They didn't show up on time. I kinda expected it. We learned the storm didn't hit until the next day. So why weren't they home? Ty kidnapped Amy. They got in another accident. I was okay with that one. Can you believe it? I was okay with that possibility?" Tim turned to look at Jack briefly.
"Tim, we couldn't have known. And I don't blame you. It would have made for a logical explanation."
"I can't do anything about it. That's what is messed up about this. I'm her father. I'm supposed to be her hero. I'm supposed to save her. I missed out on so much. I keep screwing everything up." By now Tim was yelling. But Jack noticed the words were laced with emotion.
"Ty is with Amy. He's be surviving on the streets for years. He's been taking care of his mom since he was little. You see irresponsibly. I see someone who has made the best of a bad situation. We can't help who Amy falls in love with. He's a good kid. He would never let anything happen to Amy."
Tim nodded. "I'm glad he went with her."
"Where were you going?"
"To find Amy." His voice came out cracked. Jack didn't say anything after that. They just sat in silence thinking. They had had their differences over the years but Jack knew Tim regretted his decisions and has to live with that every day. There was no reason for him to remind him. Through all the bad choices he knew he loved his kids and after 5 years had finally managed to convince him. And moments like this proved it.

"No!" Amy let out a ghostly scream that surely woke the bears from hibernation. She sprung upright like a Jack-in-the-box. She was hyperventilating and crying. Ty woke up instantly. A panic that something was wrong. The cabin was still dark so he assumed it was the middle of the night. He reached out to Amy to try to calm her but she pushed him away. Her crying getting worse. "Amy... it's okay." He said gently rubbing her back soothingly. Her whole body was shaking at very breath. "Amy, you gotta calm down. It's okay. It was just a dream. I'm right here." Amy finally let Ty touch her as he wrapped his arms around her. "It's okay. No ones gonna hurt you." They sat like that for a few minutes until Amy's cries turned to hiccups.
"Ty..." She managed to whisper.
"I'm right here."
"Thank you." She said nuzzling into his chest.
Ty smiled as he felt Amy's body relax. He kissed the top of her head.
