to stay right here while I talk with Ranger Carlson. Do not make me have to chase you down.”
    Eva’s eyes widened, and she swallowed hard. “No, sir. I’ll stay right here.”
    Tony frowned. “I need to see some identification.”
    Eva’s brow furrowed, a puzzled look on her face. “I’m sorry. I don’t understand.”
    “Do you have a driver’s license, or some other form of identification? Where’s your purse or wallet?”
    Her eyes lit up. “I know that word. Mama said a purse was like a reticule. But I didn’t have mine with me when Timothy grabbed me.” She looked around the clearing. “Have you seen anybody else around here? Timothy’s kind of tall, with brown hair and brown eyes. He came through the portal with me, so he should be around here somewhere.”
    Tony shook his head. “Just don’t move from this spot.” Sighing, he followed Zach over to the sign proclaiming this site to be Hamilton. “Have you ever encountered a bigger nut in all your born days? She’s certifiable.”
    Zach cleared his throat and scuffed the toe of his boot in the dirt. “I’m not so sure she’s crazy.”
    “What the hell are you talking about? You heard her. She thinks she’s some kind of time traveler.”
    Zach raised his gaze. “What if she is?”
    “Have you taken leave of your senses?”
    “Hear me out!”
    Tony took a step back. “Okay, calm down.”
    “Those women disappeared two years ago without a trace. Nothing came to light in the investigation to remotely explain how they could totally disappear in less than a half hour. My grandmother always told me if you’ve exhausted all the plausible explanations for any given event, then it’s time to start thinking about the impossible. With everything that’s going on in the world, is it such a stretch to think that supernatural things do exist all around us?”
    “Are you telling me that you believe she came here through some kind of time machine?”
    Zach shrugged. “No, she didn’t mention anything about a machine. She said she came through a time portal. What if it’s some kind of tear in the fabric of time that allowed her, and her mother before her, to travel into a time that wasn’t their own? Think of the possibilities, man, if she’s telling the truth.”
    Tony’s mouth dropped open. “Let me guess. You’re a big Star Trek fan, or wait, I’ll bet you’ve got all the Doctor Who episodes on disc.”
    Zach rolled his eyes. “Very funny, asshole. Open your eyes, Tony. Look at her. Really look at her. Does that look like a costume from some store to you?”
    Tony turned and looked at the young woman. Her skirt looked worn, with frayed edges around the bottom that could have come from dragging around on the ground. “The outfit doesn’t mean anything. If she wanted to perpetuate a hoax, she’d do a lot of research to make it as real as possible.”
    Zack groaned. “Then look at her. Does she seem dangerous to you?”
    Tony raised his gaze to her face and caught his breath. She was breathtakingly beautiful. Her smooth skin, without a trace of makeup, practically glowed in the midday sun. There were no stress lines, just the fresh, wholesome face of a young woman. Sighing, he turned to look at his friend. “What do you wanna do, Zach?”
    “I don’t want you to lock her up. Let’s see if she’s got a place to go, and we’ll take it from there.”
    Tony shrugged, and moved to stand in front of Eva. “Well, young lady, this seems to be your lucky day. Ranger Carlson has convinced me not to take you to jail.”
    Zach scowled and pushed Tony to the side. “Evalina, do you have anywhere you can go?”
    “Please, everyone calls me Eva.”
    Zach smiled. “Okay, Eva. Do you have anywhere you can go?”
    She bit her lip. “I don’t know what you mean?”
    Zach glanced briefly at Tony. “Do you have family or friends nearby that can take you in? Do you have money for a hotel?”
    A single tear trailed crookedly down Eva’s cheek. “I
