Chapter 10:

When she woke up a couple of hours later, she decided it was time to put on her big girl pants and deal with this like an adult. So she went to the bathroom, wiped her face, and brushed her teeth for good measure. Going downstairs, she made a fresh pot of coffee and sat down to wait for Sean to come home.

Midway through her third cup, the phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Katy, how are you doing, darlin'?"

"Just fine, Sheriff. And you?"

"Doing fine, doing fine. Say, listen, Katy, I hate to call you this late at night, but I'm having a bit of a problem that I am hoping you can help me with."

"Sure, Sheriff. What can I do?"

"Say, umm, is Sean still bunking up at your place?"

"Yeah, is this about him? Is he OK?" Her panic was instantaneous.

"Oh, he's fine, but Katy, he's down at Sue's Tavern, and I ain't ever seen him like this. I was hoping that you would be able to come down here and pick him up? I’d really hate to have to haul him in."

Already grabbing her keys and purse, she replied, "No problem, Sheriff. I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Thank you, Katy; I’m sure he'll appreciate it come morning."

With a bitter laugh she said, "I doubt it, but I'm coming anyway."

Walking out the door, she checked the knob, making sure it was locked, and walked to her car. She could not believe the way the day had turned out. Clicking the unlock button on her key ring, she caught the reflection of something against the gravel drive by her rear tire.

Curiosity had her digging her phone from her purse and pushing a random button to light the screen so she could see what it was.

Confusion set in as she found a screwdriver. Although it dissipated quickly, as she also found her almost new tire with a hole punched in the side.

Letting out a yell of frustration, she walked the perimeter of the car, finding the remaining three tires in similar shape.

"Are you freaking kidding me?" she yelled out into the dark night.

Furious beyond comprehension, she made her way to the barn to get the ranch truck, not even thinking of any dangers lurking in the shadows. Infuriated at the audacity of whoever kept doing these things, her brain did not even process anything beyond anger. The danger of the situation wasn’t anywhere near her mind.

In a daze, she started the truck and turned her headlights on as she crossed over the cattle guard and floored it.

Before enough time had passed for it to be legally possible, she hit town and in mere minutes had pulled into the dirt parking lot.

She could hear the music through the building’s thick walls. With the windows on her truck down, she pulled into the empty parking spot next to the Sheriff’s cruiser.

Killing the truck, she walked into the bar. As the door closed behind her, the acrid smell of burning tobacco assaulted her nostrils, the music reaching almost painful decibels as it pounded her ears, as the bass vibrated through her body.
