Rio looked around the line shack as the sound of Trent Richardson's car faded in the distance. It wasn't that far in miles from the main houses and had probably been more of a bunkhouse than anything else. It was exactly as Jenny McCullar had warned him it would be—primitive. Not much different in that respect from the house where he'd grown up, he thought.

Rio threw his pack onto one of the beds and watched the dust billow upward in a small cloud. Jenny had tried to give him clean sheets, and he probably should have taken them. But it had been hard enough to agree to stay here. Hard to take something from the woman whose husband he'd supposedly helped murder.

Although he'd had nothing to do with that, everyone had always been convinced of his guilt. Everyone, it seemed, except Anne Richardson. And she was the reason, of course, that he was still here, and not miles deep into Mex­ico and still running.

He took a breath, thinking about the scene last night. About what her brother had said. "Sexual risk taking." He wondered if that had anything to do with what had hap­pened between them. Had she spoken up for him because it was dangerous? Or because it seemed he was? Because for some reason she needed that risk?

He didn't know much about the aftereffects of rape, but somehow that didn't fit with what he did know about her, which was little enough. He knew that she had believed him when almost no one else ever had. And that there was nothing sexual about the way she looked at him. She wasn't interested in him that way. He would have known if that had been the case. He had always known.

So her brother was wrong, but that wouldn't stop him from taking Anne back to San Antonio as quickly as he could. If the sheriff agreed to her leaving, and there was no reason for him not to.

It was over. He'd never see Anne Richardson again. He fought down the sudden despair at that realization. He didn't need any complications, he told himself. Not that kind. He had enough troubles. He was still Buck Elkins's prime suspect. Soon there would be no one around to pro­test when they framed him for this murder. Just as there had been no one to speak up for him almost five years ago.
