Bryant filed the paperwork Jacob had brought in yesterday before he’d gone out tracking. His friend’s probing gaze as he’d handed him the papers had unnerved him. Did Jacob suspect something?

It didn’t matter though. Nothing would make him tell now.

He’d refrained from visiting the gambling hall for an entire month. If he lost no more money and his past forgeries remained undetected, Jacob would never know of his involvement.

Neither would Leah.

The hallway door opened, and his boss lumbered across the room toward his office.

Bryant slowly stopped moving. Hopefully McGill wouldn’t—

“What have you got on the schedule today, Whitsett?”

Seemed invisibility was not a skill he possessed. He shrugged. “Paperwork, mostly.”

McGill dropped a map onto the counter, unrolled it, and placed a thick index finger on a spot near the southwest corner. “Look up the property surrounding the river here.”

Bryant’s eyes narrowed. “Why?”

“Just do as I tell you.”

Every muscle tensed. “I’m not fixing any more books or—”

“I only asked you to look up the property.” McGill pushed the map toward him. “Don’t get up on your high horse. You don’t deserve to be atop a noble steed any more than I do.”

Bryant looked at the place where McGill had pointed. The land was on a bend of the Laramie near some acreage McGill owned, or rather, had stolen the first time he’d gotten mixed up in his boss’s messes.

A likely spot to find an alluvial deposit.

He turned to face his file cabinets but only stared at them.

“I’m waiting.”

McGill had nothing new to blackmail him with, so why did his insides tremble so? It wasn’t as if he didn’t look up properties every day.

With quick movements born of filing paperwork since he was thirteen, he searched through the books for the owner, shutting out any worrisome thoughts on why he was doing so.
