Chapter Fourteen

MacLaren Ranch

“Two days and no sign of Kevin. Nothing at all.” Frustration laced Gabe’s voice. “I don’t believe more men would’ve found anything.”

Bram looked past Gabe toward where Thane stood with Vince, a hand on their friend’s shoulder. “Why is that?”

“I think he’s alive. Possibly lost. Maybe hiding from whatever threatens him. If something had happened to him, we would’ve found evidence. Do you understand what I’m saying, Bram?”

“Aye. The lad is alive, but we don’t know where. What about the renegade band of Crow?”

“That’s possible, but I don’t believe they have him.” Gabe ran a hand down his face. “We’ve had several people go missing since I became sheriff. There were always signs. Pieces of clothing, signs of a struggle. Blood.”

“It was raining when he disappeared. Tracks could’ve washed away.”

“Maybe. Instinct tells me Kev made it through the storm. He disappeared afterward.”

“We could keep searching. If he is alive, he’ll show up somewhere.” Bram didn’t want to tell Vince there was no hope.

“That’s your decision, Bram. I hate to quit, but I’ve got to get my men back to town. Travis has already ridden on to Redemption’s Edge. I’m sorry we didn’t find him.”

“Not your fault, Gabe. I know you and your men did all you could. Thank you for trying.”

“I’d better get going.”

Bram glanced around, confirming no one else could hear them. “There is something else. Something you must see.”

Motioning for Gabe to follow him, Bram walked around the side of the house. He stopped next to a large piece of canvas.

“Tell me that’s not what I think it is.”

Bending down, Bram pulled back a corner to reveal two bodies. “Everett Wardell and Hugo Platt.”

Shoving back his hat, Gabe blew out a breath. “Guess we should go inside so you can explain what happened. I also expect coffee. Lots of coffee.”
