Molly had only been gone a few minutes when I heard a truck coming up the driveway. I glanced out the window; it was the pumper truck, with Ethan in the driver's seat.

"The reinforcements have arrived," I informed Chuck, who looked up at me and cocked his head to one side. I threw on a sweatshirt and headed out to meet Ethan. "Thanks so much for coming out!" I called as I stepped off the front porch. He'd stopped the truck and was surveying the stock tank closest to the driveway. The goats were eyeing him with interest, probably hoping he had snacks in his pockets.

"Is this the one you want filled?" he asked.

"Both would be better, but if you can only do this one, that would be great," I said. "Need any help?"

"Let's get the hose over to the tank. I'll start it going, and you let me know when it's full."

"Thanks," I said. Together, we put the hose end into the tank, and I watched as he headed back to the truck and started the pump. It didn't take long for the tank to fill. Unfortunately, I knew it also wouldn't take long for the tank to empty.

"Any rain in the forecast yet?" I asked once he'd turned off the water and we were putting the hose back onto the truck.

"Not that I've seen," he said. "There are supposed to be high winds in a couple of days, though. We're all a little nervous about that." He turned to look at my little house. "You should probably cut back some of those trees," he advised me a second time.

"I know," I said. "But the shade is awfully nice in the summer."

He shook his head, then turned to the subject I suspected was on his mind. "Find out anything else about what happened to Bug?"

"I'm working on it," I said.

"I stopped by to see Serafine earlier, but Rooster wouldn't let me in. I'm worried about her," he said.

"I am, too," I said. "I asked around about where the Whartons got their fortune the other day; someone told me he'd worked for a company called TechGenerator up in Illinois for a while."

"What kind of business were they in?"

"Some kind of government contract work, I think. I'll look it up."

"I heard something else, too," he said. "Guess who inherits the ranch?"

"Mitch Wharton?"

He nodded.

"Does Rooster know about that?"

"I don't know."

"You might want to mention it to him," I suggested. "He won't want to hear it from me."

"One more thing... I heard a rumor that Quinn's ex is working at the ranch."

"Jed Stadtler?"

He nodded. “I hear he wants to be back in town."

"Why can't he just stay away?" I asked.

"He's bad news, I know," Ethan said. "He was down at the station the other day complaining about Quinn."

"What did he say?"

"That she made it all up, got him thrown into jail for nothing."

"I was there when he attacked her," I said. "If he'd had a gun on him, neither of us might still be here.
