Jacob woke up the next morning to find breakfast sitting on the table.
It must have been Brianna. His head was throbbing, he assumed his concussion
wasn't going to get any better, anytime soon. He sat down to enjoy a quiet meal
by himself while he tried to contemplate yesterday's events.

Brianna was busy attending to the horses when Jacob decided
to take a break from his loft.
Brianna; Oh...Sleepy head is finally awake.
Jacob: Giving the circumstances, I don't think that is the nicest
term to use.
Brianna: You're right, probably not.I'm sorry.
You ever ride a horse before?
Jacob: No, and I don't intend to. I don't have time for
such activities.
Brianna: You're such a workaholic.
Jacob: I am not...

Jacob studied Brianna, watching her gently stroke the horse's coat.
She was so gentle with the animals, and they loved her. Jacob let a small
smile form, but quickly changed when Brianna turned.
Brianna: Are you sure you don't want to try a ride?
Jacob: Even if I did, I don't know how to ride.
Brianna: That's alright, I can show you.Go get changed.

Jacob managed to mount the horse without any issues.Though
he did question if riding a horse was the safest thing to do with
a concussion.

Brianna was well ahead of Jacob, who was holding on to the reins
for dear life.He felt like he was gonna throw up.
Brianna: Come on slow poke!
Jacob: Excuse me, you have the advantage, I never rode a horse before.

Brianna: Hi Emily!
Brianna shouted as she passed her neighbor's house.

She took a deep breathe; taking in the crisp autumn air as she continued
to lead Jacob and the horses to the race track.

Jacob was about ready to keel over, and his bum was hurting.
He wasn't used to riding on a horse, let alone a leathery saddle.
Jacob: I think I had enough now.
Brianna: Alright, I'll race you back.
Jacob: What? No...come back..
Brianna was already home by the time Jacob arrived.
Breathing heavy, he dismounted the horse.

Text message: DOCTOR RUSH, we always have ways to get what
we want.We're coming for you.
"Crud" Jacob thought, they must have found his location, or at least
a general location where he was. When was this all going to end? HE tried
to keep calm; he knew if he freaked Brianna would want to help; and he didn't
want to involve her anymore than he already has.
Brianna: What is it?
Jacob: Everything is fine.
Brianna: I can read people easily....someone sent you a threating message,
didn't they?
How could she possibly know? She was definately good at reading people.
Jacob Hesitated to answer; but knew she would keep pressing.
Jacob: Yes...and I won't lie, I'm a bit concerned.

Jacob: I'm not so comfortable eating at the family table...I'm not
family.
Sarah: At our home, even our guests are family! No need for you to
dine alone, Doctor Rush.
This family was so kind and giving.He didn't know if it was his concussion; but he felt
himself starting to relax, becoming more comfortable with his hosts.

Jacob decided to rummage through some of his research.His memory
loss was worse than he thought."I don't remember writing any of these notes...
And none of this is making sense....I know that I should know how to do this."
He kept flipping pages, and eying his words; but nothing was making sense.
Perhaps a good night's sleep is what he needed.He was just about to head to bed
when he heard a loud bang from the ground floor..."What was that?!" The noise
got louder, someone was rummaging through the barn....He suddenly felt his anxiety
rise....Was this where it was going to end for him?
To be continued.
