Chapter 21

Captain Perry watches the schooner move close to the dock. He grins as he watches a massive cowboy pace on the deck like a big panther. “Yep, that’ll be the one, then.”

“Wait here and be ready to shove off. I’ll be back.” Chase leaps to the dock, past the dock hands and races up the creaking planks under his boots. “You’d be Marshall Rivers,” Captain Perry said stepping in front of the giant.

Narrowed silver eyes look down into a wrinkled, smiling face. "Where is she?" He growls.

“Don’t go fretting, Mr. Rivers. I sent one of me dock hands with your wife to the rail station to pick up her sisters. They should be back soon.” If Chase is shocked by the term wife, he doesn’t show it.

"Captain, I appreciate the information, but I'll need a horse," he says stepping around him and onto the dusty road.

"Didn't you hear me? She’ll be back…”

Chase whirls on him with a desperate, sick feeling, "She'll be back alright, and on her heels, will be the very winds of hell. Do you have weapons?"

Captain Perry stared at him with his mouth gaping open. “Aye, I do.”

“You’re gonna need them. Now take me to a horse for God’s sake!”

"Right this way," Captain Perry limped as quickly as he can and snaps out orders. "So, the lass doesn't have sisters?" He asked while they wait. Feeling like a fool, he glances at Chase.

"Not quite. Bronnah thinks she's gonna rescue some young women from a terrible situation, Captain Perry, and in doing so, she's risking her own life." Chase mounts his horse.

"I see. Just follow this down the road, its only about two miles to the railhead."

Chase knows what Bronnah doesn’t. She thinks she can just waltz in and pluck them from these people, but it won’t be that easy. They will have guards traveling with them and meeting them to make the exchange. That makes the odds of her getting away with this highly unlikely. He rides hard and prays he will make it to her in time.
