is something
you don't know about me. I have a photographic memory and your face
is very vivid in my mind. It was you and I will testify against you
in court, that is, if you ever get to court after you stand trial
for the embezzlement charges here and for the murder of Elena
Drake."
Goose was surprised to see him turn even
whiter. Evidently he hadn't heard about the new evidence in the
Drake murder trial.
"That's all I wanted to say, have a good day
Mr. Thomas." I stand up and walk out of the visitation room as
regally as any queen. Goose was properly impressed and Thomas was
left with his mouth hanging open and beads of sweat forming on his
forehead.
CHAPTER 8
After my visit with Thomas, Goose and I head
to a local Tex-Mex Restaurant where Barry has reserved a banquet
room and the rest of the group is waiting. After a delicious lunch
Barry asks Evelyn why she doesn't quit her job and move to Wyoming.
He tells her Eric would love having the company and now that Damian
will be coming to Wyoming to live with Dylan it will be the perfect
place for her children to grow up. Jacob's daughter Dani needs a
girl close to her own age to grow up with too.
Dylan implores her, "Please say yes, Evelyn.
I don't want to lose you again. You are all the family I have
left."
She says, "Well, let me discuss it with the
kids. It's their life too. Can I let you know something in a few
days?"
Barry says, "Of course, I can send the jet
back for you any time. I'm sure it might take a little while to get
your things packed anyway. Don't worry about furniture. Just bring
your personal things, clothes and toys. I'll take care of
everything else."
Goose says, "I'll be happy to stay and help
you get things together."
Smiling Dylan says, "That would be great
Goose. Make sure she comes, all right?"
"I'll do what I can to convince her," says
Goose smiling. His heart is pounding with excitement. He can't wait
to get to know Evelyn on a personal level.

The rest of the group heads to the airport.
Stump, Pinky, Barry, Jacob and I are flying back in Barry's private
jet. Dylan will fly back in the helicopter tomorrow. He is
scheduled to pick up Damian at Child Protective Services at five
o'clock this afternoon.
After Barry purchased the ranch next door to
Jacob and Jason Murray's ranch, they built a state of the art
airstrip for use by both ranches. It is lighted and the runway is
heated for use during the winter months. Jason Murray flew back to
Wyoming several days ago on the Murray's jet.
While they are waiting for the jet to be
readied for the flight, I tell the guys about my visit with Richard
Thomas. "He tried to tell me he didn't recognize me but he
remembered the incident. He turned as white as a sheet when I told
him the date and what they did. He tried to tell me I couldn't
remember his face after ten years but when I told him I have a
photographic memory he turned even whiter. It was a very empowering
experience."
Barry says, "Skye, I am so proud of you. You
have really come a long way since I pulled you out from behind that
dumpster."
Frowning Dylan says, "I haven't heard that
part. What happened?"
Barry says, "When Skye didn't come home and
her friends said she had gotten separated from them, Skye's father,
Ben, asked me to go and look for her. I was still a relative
unknown in LA so I went down to where the concert had been and
started looking. I talked to a lot of people but no one had seen
her so I started searching the area. I found her unconscious behind
a dumpster. I thought at first she was dead. Not only did they rape
her, they had beaten her and left her to die behind the dumpster. I
carried her home and her father brought in the best medical team he
could find to take care of her. Her room looked like an ICU room
for weeks. It was touch and go for a long time but eventually she
pulled through, at least physically. I worried then that she would
never fully recover emotionally. But now, I think she is well on
her way to
