Chapter Twelve

Faye Strickland found him in a drunken stupor, laying on top of the grassy mound. He smelled like vomit and piss as she approached. Contrary to her father’s instructions, she’d gone looking for him. She figured there were only a few places he visited but one that he would return to daily.

Nina’s grave.

She dismounted the horse and tied it to a tree. She brushed the dust of the day from her black shirt, and mud off the knees of her tight blue jeans. Keeping a close eye on him, she removed a brown ankle boot and shook out a small stone that had found its way inside.

She sniffed hard, wiped her face, and pushed back a lock of hair.

“Okay, you bastard. I got you.”

A quick glance around to make sure no one would see her, and she withdrew the knife from the sheath. She was going to enjoy this. Slitting his throat, watching him bleed out. Her father might not have cared about Seth, but she did. Her brother had been good to her. Taught her how to fire a gun, stepped in when their father was too harsh. She missed his laughter. Missed seeing him at the table. Then there was the rumor going around that Jessie had assisted Alby in killing Luke, Edgar, and Jared. The law said Alby acted alone but they didn’t believe that for one minute.

Now she could get justice.

She imagined tying him up by his entrails and leaving him for the birds to peck out his eyes. Or maybe she would gut him and feed him to the pigs.

Or even better, she’d cut his balls off and pin them to one of the trees.

Now that would start a fight. She could never understand her parents’ desire for peace. Why would they want peace with a family that had done nothing but destroy theirs? Four lives. She’d seen four lives lost to the Rikers. But there had been many before that. Sisters, brothers, cousins. Not hers, but her grandparents’ and theirs before them.

At some point the feud had to stop. Even Colby agreed, her mother had said.

Were they now listening to a Riker?

Fuck the Rikers!

Faye crouched beside him, her eyes roaming his body. What did Nina see in this man?

He was snoring up a storm. She brought the knife to his throat. He didn’t even stir. This would be too easy. He wouldn’t even know.

She was just about to cut him when she stopped and thought about that.

You won’t know.

She wanted him to know.

She wanted him to feel fear, to feel helpless, to feel what her brothers had.

But to do that she would need him awake. Faye looked at the horse, then at him. She didn’t weigh much more than a buck thirty wet, but him, he had to be at least a hundred and eighty pounds. There was no way she could haul him up onto that horse.

She saw the curled rope hanging from the saddle.

She could drag him.

A smile formed. What a sight that would be.
