Dog was still seated at the end of the bar, and Juana was feeding him the remainder of my cheeseburger now. “I figured you didn’t want the rest?”

“No.”

She studied me. “Are you okay?”

I took a deep breath, cleared my throat, and swallowed. “Yep.” I extended my hand. “Walt Longmire, sheriff, Absaroka County.”

She wiped her hand on her jeans, took mine, and smiled. “I know. I looked you up on the Internet at the library in Gillette. There was a big article about you in the Billings Gazette and the Denver Post—something about you breaking up a human trafficking syndicate in California?”

“I had a very small part in an investigation.”

“There was a photograph of you on the steps of some big building, but your hat covered up a lot of your face.”

“That’s my best side.” I reached down to pet Dog. “Was Cliff Cly the first to answer when Cady called?”

She nodded. “Yeah, but I grabbed it away from him pretty quick. He was in here drinking his lunch and got to it faster than I could.” She thought about it. “It was like he was waiting for a call.”

She seemed pretty sure of the situation, so I decided to let it drop. The undercover thing was wearing me out. “Is there anything else I can do to help you?”

“Nah, I’m just going to arrange some of the food in the freezer out back to make it easier for tonight, but I think we’re ready.”

I reached over and took one last sip of the melted ice in my tea. “Then I think Dog and I are going to go to our room and take a nap.”

She let Dog lick the plate. “Is that Indian friend of yours really going to fight?”

I shook my head at the absurdity of it all. “Yep, I suppose he is.”

“He looks like he can take care of himself.”

“He can.”

She nodded. “Watch out for Cliff Cly. He hasn’t been around here very long, but I bet he cheats.”

I patted my leg for Dog to follow. “I bet he does, too.”
