“Yes.”

Dawson continues.

“But he doesn't know where she is right now, and I'm putting deputies at Iron Ridge until we find him.”

“We need to get her back there,” I say.

Hayley looks toward the road.

“No.”

I turn.

“What?”

“If Navarro knows about Iron Ridge, don't take her there.”

She's right.

Again.

Dawson nods slowly.

“I agree.”

I look between them.

“Then where?”

Dawson thinks for a moment.

“I have a secure location outside Juniper Wells.”

Hayley's face falls.

She doesn't want a secure location.

She wants her daughter.

So do I.

“Take us there,” I say.

Dawson nods.

“I’ll give Sheriff Vega the information.”

“I'll have Will bring Sage.”

Hayley stops breathing.

I look at her.

This is it.

Not the reunion in the tunnel.

Not Navarro.
