At the dinner table that evening, Billy was noticeably absent. He had decided to drink his dinner at the Silver Dollar, rather than eat with his brothers. Carter waited until everyone had finished eating before he brought up the touchy subject, “Johnathon Edwards recommended an accountant from San Antonio. I called her today and she is going to be coming to the ranch in a few days to look over the books and help us put everything on computer so we know where we stand financially.”

Adam cringed, knowing that any mention of change around Buck was likely to set him off and he didn’t disappoint, “What the hell did you do that for?” Buck shouted.

“Look, whether you stay on the ranch or we sell it off, either way, we need to know its financial position.”

“I already know its financial position and I don’t need an accountant to tell me that. Just look out the damn window and you’ll see. Hundreds of cattle, a fresh crop of calves, thousands of acres of prime Texas land, and then there are the buildings and the legacy of three generations of cattlemen.”

“You can’t pay income taxes based on that or pull operating capital loans from the bank based on that. We’ve got to know what the financials are, so, unless you can show me a profit-and-loss statement or a balance sheet for the past few years, we need an accountant to help us sort out the mess in the office. Like it or not, I’m buying a computer tomorrow and putting everything on it so we can pull reports.”

Buck didn’t say another word. He stood up knocking his chair backwards on the hard wood floor and stormed out of the dining room, grabbing his hat before slamming the back door on his way to the barn.

“Well, that went better than expected,” Carter smiled, looking at Adam.

“Billy picked a good night to drink his dinner at the Silver Dollar. Wish I’d thought of it,” Adam said.
