You think she’s fallen in with those Ellises?” Mack asked. He’d waited a full ten minutes to say anything, letting Shelby’s smoldering anger dissipate before risking speech.

Shelby growled something unintelligible.

“What was that?”

“I said I don’t think so.”

“You seem pissed enough.”

“Oh, I’m pissed, all right. But I’m as angry at myself as I am at the sheriff, and it’s because she’s right. Things are different now. As unfortunate as it was for everyone else, Wilkes’ crookedness gave me the perfect excuse to do what I wanted. Few regular folks blamed me for any vigilante behavior I’d engage in, because they knew Wilkes couldn’t be counted on. If Hammer turns out to be trustworthy and by the book, then I won’t have that cover.”

“And that’s making you angry?”

Shelby shook his head vigorously. “No. What’s making me angry is because I didn’t put this together sooner. I went marching out to the Ellis place like I owned it, when I should have practiced a little discretion.”

“Ah, so you’re not saying you shouldn’t have done it, but rather that you should have been a lot sneakier about it.”

“Exactly.”

“Okay, so what now?”

“Now we need to kill a little time.”

“Waiting for nightfall, huh?”

“You know me too well.”

“A little too well. What shall we do in the meantime?”

Shelby gripped the steering wheel with both hands, turning his knuckles white. “Something I very much dread doing. We’re going to pay a visit to Grant Bachmann.”
