Emmett Ralston stared hard at the coffeepot.

Strange how it lay there, knocked over like it was. As if someone had thrown it—or kicked it—even though it looked plain as day that they intended to make some brew. An open tin of Arbuckles lay right there by the fire, which had long since died out.

His gaze shifted to the pair of bedrolls, laying side by side, all rumpled. The two Stetsons, one smaller than the other, lying near saddlebags.

No one would leave their hats behind, unless they left in one hell of a hurry.

He dismounted, squatted next to the saddlebags and dumped out their contents. Among them, a small purse, brown velvet with a gold chain. On the outside, monogrammed in gold thread, was a likeness of the C Bar C brand.

He grunted at the discovery, opened the purse and found a small roll of bills. Quickly, he stuffed the wad into his shirt pocket and tossed the velvet bag aside. The rest of the supplies held no interest.

Rising again, he swept a glance around him. Far as he could tell, there was no sign of an ambush, but it was clear he’d found Grier’s camp and that the Lockett woman had been with him.

Maybe their leaving had something to do with Blue Whistler. Then again, maybe not. Either way, by the looks of that cold fire, they’d been gone a while.

Emmett squinted an eye toward the sky. A few more hours and it’d be dark. He could either keep searching for them or he could stay and wait for them to return.

Gut instinct told him they’d be back. Only fools would roam the range without supplies to sustain them.

And TJ Grier was no fool.

He knew something about the night Danny died. Emmett didn’t know what, or how much, but TJ had hired a big-city agent to investigate the boy’s death and help Grier clear his name. Emmett knew it for sure; he’d overheard Boomer and Grier talking back at the Preston stables when they didn’t know he was around.

Which was why Kullen needed Grier dead in a hurry.

They both did.

To stop him—and the Lockett woman—from learning the truth.

Kullen had been as mad as a cut cat when he found out Callie Mae’s brother was killed. It hadn’t been part of their plan for him to die. Emmett’s job had been to kidnap him, that’s all. Use him for a healthy ransom as part of their plan for revenge against Penn McClure.

Emmett had to talk fast to convince Kullen it wasn’t his fault the kid died. That that crazy drunk was responsible, but when he up and disappeared, and Grier claimed to kill the boy by accident, well, things got easier and Kullen felt a whole lot better.

Happy, as a matter of fact.

Kullen Brockway—Brosius, Emmett corrected himself—was as fine a lawyer as could be found. Shrewd and calculated, just like one should be. If anyone could get back at Penn McClure for what he’d done, killing Kullen’s old man, Kullen could.
