“If a couple of hours is going to doom everybody, then we’re already in a heap of trouble,” the engineer shot back.

Linda’s brow furrowed deeply. “What kind of trouble are you two talking about?” she demanded.

“Honestly, I don’t think it’s going to impact you,” Atticus said.

She jutted out her chin in defiance. “Humor me,” she said flatly.

“Those military deserters in Kansas?” the ex-ranger asked, and she nodded. “Appears as though there’s a lot more of them than we had anticipated. But they have their hands full down there, so I don’t think they’re coming up this way anytime soon.”

She put her hands on her hips. “Do I have to worry about the military guys that are already here?” she asked.

The men exchanged a concerned look, and Atticus immediately began to get up from the bed. He moved slowly, cursing his body, wincing in pain.

“Slow down,” the doctor chastised. “All that adrenaline has worn off and you’ve been sitting for too long. You’re going to be feeling it for a while, even after those pills kick in.”

He nodded, offering her an appreciative smile. “Thanks, Doc,” he said, then turned to Linda. “Come on, let’s go have a chat with them. And Bill, get the train ready. Because we need to take off right after I’m done with them.”

The engineer nodded and headed off to prepare the train as Atticus and Linda made their way slowly through town back to the house where the soldiers were. Atticus stumbled a bit, and Linda gasped, catching him and putting his good arm around her shoulders.

“This better not be a smooth move to get me closer to you,” she said, but there was amusement in her tone laced with worry for his health.
