Double The Trouble (Texas Trouble 3) - Plot & Excerpts
Because he still hadn't convinced her that this situation wasn't her fault, Gabe been hesitant to leave Karlie at the ranch. With her penchant for running away when things got tough, he was afraid she'd leave and he wouldn't have any idea where she was going. Before he'd left, he'd alerted Luke to keep an eye on her for him. He couldn't call to check in on her now, because he'd have to call the house phone, since her cell didn't work out there, and it was too late, everyone would be sleeping. Maybe he could drive by and make sure her car was still there, before he went home and passed out. At least maybe he'd be able to sleep knowing she was still at the Double B and safe. Tomorrow he was going to convince her to move in with him, so he could protect her. He'd almost had her saying yes when he'd asked earlier, but that had been interrupted, while they fought for their lives, and it hadn't come up again after that. Jake dumped out the coffee maker and started a fresh pot, leaning against the counter, while he waited for it to brew. When Cole walked in with a funny look on his face, his eyes red-rimmed and his hair sticking up all over, Gabe's heart stopped. For him to get out of the bed with Sabrina in the middle of the night, something bad must've happened, Gabe thought. "What're you doing here?" Cole walked to the cabinet and pulled down a big 'Don't Mess With Texas' mug then jerked the half-full pot of coffee from the burner, emptying it into his cup. "Something's up at the Double B...Luke called me." Gabe pushed off of the counter as fear pulsed through him, and he asked shortly, "What happened?" "Someone knocked down a fence and half our herd is out on the road. Someone ran over a couple of them...I have to go out there and help round them up. Karlie, Wade and Luke are out there right now." "Karlie's out in the middle of the night in all that? That's not a good idea considering what almost happened today," Gabe said with concern.
