HANK DROVE INTO Meadow Village after he left the ranch. Frankie had told him that Tamara worked at the Silver Spur Bar. But when he parked and went inside, he was told that it was her day off. He asked for her address and wrangled for a moment with the bartender before the man gave it over. Hank dropped a twenty-dollar bill on the bar as he left.

He knew the old cabins the bartender had told him about. But as he neared the row of four cabins, he spotted marshal office vehicles parked out front. Crime scene tape flapped in the wind.

Swearing, he pulled in and, getting out, started past the deputy stationed outside.

“Hold up,” the deputy said. “No one goes inside. Marshal’s orders.”

“Tell him I need to see him,” Hank said. He held up his hands. “Tell him his son is out here, Hank. Hank Savage. I’ll stand right here until you get back and won’t let anyone else get past. I promise.”

The deputy disappeared inside and almost at once returned with Hud.

“What’s going on?” Hank asked in a hushed voice as the two of them stepped over to the ranch pickup he’d driven into town.

“What are you doing here?”

“I came by to see Tamara Baker. Frankie had spoken to her about Naomi. I wanted to talk to her.” Immediately he realized his mistake as he saw his father’s eyes narrow. “Tamara said some things about Naomi that didn’t seem right.”

“Like what?”

He didn’t really want to discuss this out here, let alone voice them at all, especially to his father. Also, the marshal hadn’t answered his question. He pointed out both.

“Tamara’s dead.”

“Dead? Not—” He didn’t have to say “murdered.” He saw the answer in his father’s expression.

“When I get through here, I think we’d better talk.” With that, his father turned and went back inside as the coroner’s van pulled up.
