Dakota finished with her chores and walked to Alexios. "What's wrong?" She asked, seeing confusion on his face

"My Friesian, Shade Shock, he's not in the pasture, or in the barn." Alexios frowned. "And nobody has permission to touch him, or move him."

"Was he in his stall last night? Where else could he be? Mr. Matthews, is there security footage here?"

"No, there's not." Alexios frowned. "I'll keep looking for him."

"I'll come with. I don't have anything else to do" She said, following him

Once out in the pasture, Alexios was trying to spot Shade Shock, but to no avail. He bit his tongue, so he wouldn't curse.

"Have you asked your sisters?" She offered, trying to think

"They don't care, Dakota. And, legally, they have no rights to any of my horses." He responded.

"Sorry. Good luck" She muttered, walking off. She went to the tack room and sighed, grabbing her bridle and cleaning it while sitting on the tack box nearest to her

Alexios continued to search outside everywhere. The arena, the training pens, even the breeding area. He couldn't find Shade Shock.
