Ryder left the ranch early the next morning. His first stop was at the sheriff’s office, where he picked up a badge. His next stop was at Doc Forbes’.

Forbes looked up from the book on his desk. “Anything wrong?” he asked, his brow furrowed with concern. “Dusty hasn’t had a relapse, has he?”

“No, Dusty’s doing fine. I just wanted to ask you a couple of questions.”

“Well, come on in and sit down then. Want some coffee?”

“No, thanks, this’ll only take a minute.”

Forbes stood up and stretched. “I was about to pour myself a cup. Come on in the kitchen.”

Ryder followed the doctor through the house, then stood in the kitchen doorway, his shoulder braced against the frame, while Forbes poured himself a cup of coffee.

“You said you had some questions,” Forbes said, adding a spoonful of sugar to his cup. “Fire away.”

“Did you ever examine Crenshaw’s wound?”

“No.” Forbes sat down at the table and indicated Ryder should join him.

Ryder took a seat opposite the doctor. “Funny Martha didn’t send for you,” he remarked.

“I thought so, but then, lots of people don’t cotton to doctors.” Forbes shrugged. “Sure you don’t want a cup of coffee?”

Ryder shook his head.

“I stopped by Crenshaw’s the day after he got shot and offered to take a look at his wound, but he said no. Insisted he was fine. He said Martha had taken care of him.” He shrugged again. “Martha’s a competent nurse, so I didn’t think anything of it. I take her with me on calls now and again. What’s this all about?”

“Berland claims Crenshaw was shot, but the Indian denied having a rifle. Said all he had was a knife.”

Forbes nodded slowly. “And you were hoping I’d seen Crenshaw’s wound.”

“Yeah, well, there’s more than one way to skin a cat,” Ryder said, and then grinned. “See ya later, Doc.”
