her, but for purely selfish reasons as well. If Daniel knew what Chase had planned for his daughter once she was well enough, Chase would be dead before his body hit the floor. He had to get Kerri out to his ranch, and he had to get her to fall in love with him before Daniel found her kidnapper. Daniel was a sucker when it came to his daughter and would stop at nothing to make her happy, so if she said she was in love with Chase, then Daniel wouldn’t kill him.
    “I need you to pull whatever strings you have and get them to release Kerri into my care today. This hospital is the first place this guy is going to look, so she needs to be gone before he gets here. I want to take her to my ranch where I have state-of-the-art security, some of which my family doesn’t even know of. I will be able to monitor any movements on my land twenty-four-seven.”
    Chase expected the man to argue about moving Kerri while she was still recovering, but all the man said was “Done” and then left the room. He knew Daniel was eager to get out there and find the man who had done this, but he wouldn’t leave until he knew his daughter was safe. Ten minutes later, Daniel walked back into the room followed by the doctor who handed Chase a piece of paper. It was a list of everything he needed and instructions on how to care for Kerri. He listened to the doc as he explained what to do and what not to and what signs of infection to look for. Chase listened carefully because he refused to let anything happen to Kerri on his watch. Once the doctor went over everything several times, he pulled a syringe out and walked over to Kerri. Chase watched as his CO rubbed her head and leaned down to whisper something in her ear. Daniel stood and nodded to the doctor who injected whatever was in the syringe into Kerri’s arm.
    Daniel then turned to him. “Okay, Chase, the doctor just gave Kerri something that is going to make her sleep for about eight hours so that she is not in pain during transport. I have a private jet waiting on the runway to take off as soon as you are on it and an escort waiting downstairs to drive you. I had money transferred into your account to get her some clothes and whatever else she needs. I don’t know if this guy has access to her account info, so I don’t want her using it. Keep her safe, and I will be back for her as soon as possible.”
    Damn, this guy never ceases to amaze me. He got all that done in just ten minutes? Wow, if I didn’t know and trust this man, I would be truly frightened of him. Chase almost felt sorry for the man that kidnapped Kerri. Almost.
    Walking over to Kerri, he tucked her in the thin hospital sheet and gently lifted her in his arms. She fit perfectly. Chase watched as her hazel eyes opened and looked at him then closed as she seemed to curl into him and relax. He felt like she was burrowing into his skin, and he loved the feeling. She trusted him to keep her safe, and damn if that didn’t make him feel ten feet tall. Now he knew how Duncan and Logan felt when they held Cane in their arms. Holding her with care, he followed Daniel out of the hospital and into the waiting car.
    Once on the private plane, Chase placed Kerri on the bed in the back and tucked the blankets around her. He didn’t want to leave her but had a few phone calls to make. Making sure she was comfortable, Chase left the door cracked and took a seat. He called his brother Duncan first, since he was the sheriff of Pine Valley, to let him know they could possibly have trouble headed their way. He let Duncan know the situation and gave him the list of all the medical supplies he needed. Duncan didn’t ask questions and agreed to have everything ready when Chase arrived. That’s what he loved about his family. They stuck together no matter what. When one had a problem, they all worked together to find a solution or to help out to make the situation a little easier to deal with. The next call he made was to Ali. He asked her to
