“Have you men seen Dale?” Lettie asked the men as she rode up to the branding fire astride Ginger.

The night was chilly, and she wouldn’t have minded being near to a fire too…preferably one in the small fireplace back in her room and with Dale snuggled next to her. Yet, she couldn’t just get it out of her mind that the sudden disappearance from Lijuan from the big house meant she had come here. Her mind was fueled with the suspicion that that little yellow witch was busy with Dale, her man, doing God-knows-what. She just couldn’t shake the image from her thoughts no matter how hard she tried.

The men at the fire glanced at each other and shrugged as if her question meant nothing to them. The nonchalant lot!

“Saw him a while ago,” one finally said.

“Where?” She snapped at them. They looked uncomfortable, but she didn’t give a cattle shit.

“He was around, you know,” the other man said.

Lettie became frustrated. After everything that was probably going on already, getting help from the men that had known her longer than they had Lijuan was proving to be difficult! Men that were on her payroll no less.

“Tell me where he is now That’s if you still want jobs come morning!” She growled at them.

Again, she watched as they looked at each other nervously. They knew something, she quickly guessed. They knew something, and they had already taken sides.

“I don’t think he wants to be interrupted right now, miss.” the first man said to her eventually, looking embarrassed.

She opened her mouth to argue with him, but she realized what he meant when she heard the sound of laughter from the barn. She spun and saw Dale and Lijuan leaving the barn that housed his upstairs quarters. She was fixing mussed hair while he was straitening his shirt. The harlot! Both walked over to the fire where Lettie and the two men were, laughing amongst themselves.

“Dale, you best be getting yourself into Saddle Gap and let Doc Wainright have a look at you. If you just laid with that slant-eyed concubine, you probably caught something … like yellow fever,” Lettie found herself yelling maliciously.

Her words hit the right chord. Lijuan had had enough. A white light flickered in her brain followed by an explosion that went off inside of her like a thousand sticks of TNT.

“That’s it! I am going to give you the thrashing you deserve. Get down off that horse!” Lijuan told her, rushing towards her.

Lettie, still angered by the idea of the position she had met both of them, kicked out from her vantage on the horse’s back and hit Lijuan in the chest. Lijuan staggered back, but then rushed forward, grabbing her leg and trying to pull her off the horse.

“Let go or I’ll kill you!” Lettie screamed in rage.

She began to struggle off her horse. She so wanted to beat that stupid Chinese woman. When she finally got off the horse and to her feet though, Lijuan grabbed her arms and swung her around.
