Chapter Seven
"Quick, get in the car!"
Jane and Jessie hauled themselves into the car and quickly buckled up. Jane could feel her heart pounding in her chest.
Jennifer checked to make sure they were ready and immediately started the car, the engines roaring ferociously
as it sped forwards.
Once we get our horses back, we'll make Victoria pay! Jane thought.

After they had arrived at the pet adoption place, a kind woman in white and blue clothing came walking outside to greet Jane, Jessie, and Jennifer. Behind her was Rusty and Speckle, their pelts shimmering in the sunlight and their beady eyes going wide as they saw their owners.
"Rusty! Speckle!" Jane laughed with glee as she and Jessie came running over to their horses, who whinnied in delight.
Jessie rubbed Rusty's snout. "We're so glad you're safe!"
Speckle pushed her snout into Jane's face, sniffing. Jane wasn't sure how she was supposed to feel now...
She was happy and relived that the horses were okay, but deep down she felt angry. Had Victoria stole the horses and put them up for adoption on purpose? Or had some random person found them and put them up for adoption?
No, if someone random found them- why wouldn't they just send the horses to an animal shelter for the owners to pick up? They probably wouldn't set them up for adoption, right? Jane had so many questions and so little answers.
But did all of that really matter now? They got their horses back. Now they could just go home and forget it ever happened. There was still a possibility that Victoria had nothing to do with this. How was an old woman like her supposed to catch two horses on her own anyway?
The question still pricked Jane like a needle as she dug her face into Speckle's fur, drying her tears away.
That was the question to this unsolved puzzle. Maybe Victoria was getting help from someone, someone more...fit...to capture horses.

"I won't let this happen ever again, I promise." Jane whispered to Speckle.
Jane whished she had been with the horses to see just what had happened, and who had sent them here to begin with.
But she wasn't.
The only ones who knew, and actually saw what happened, were the horses.
