There was also a rather well done rendering of Matthew on the sheet. Roy figured that an enterprising artist had lifted a photo of Sheriff Wilcox from a book about the Granville Stand-off.

“Roy?” Chance’s voice trembled. “You don’t think…”

Roy stood up. “NO! There’s no way your pa would have raped any woman. The killing part…” he hesitated for a moment. “I’ll just have to see what’s happened, before I can know for sure.”

Roy moved to the hat stand and put his fedora on his head. Then he donned his warmest coat and turned to look at Matthew’s son. Putting a hand on the boy’s shoulder he said, “Chance, I’ve got to go find your pa, now. Something… or someone is after him and I think he may need my help.”

He noticed that the youngster was fixing to complain or plead to come along and he added, “Now, I need you to head back home to Spokane, okay? I want you and Abby to stay buttoned up at home—don’t go to school or hang around outdoors, got it?” Chance’s eyes were growing shiny with frustrated tears and he shook his head in denial.

Roy shook the boy’s shoulder. “Chance! You’ve got to believe me when I say that not only do outlaws use family members as hostages, lawmen do it too! One of the first things a U.S. Marshal will do to gain leverage in apprehending a fugitive is seize his family and property!”

“If you stay home, like I ask,” the sheriff continued, “I can place a district attorney on your doorstep. This will keep you and Abby safe—at least, for a while, and free me up to find your pa before anyone else gets to him, first.”

The look in his Godson’s eyes broke Roy’s heart and he pulled Chance in to his arms. Hugging him close, Roy whispered, “Just give Dicky and me a little time, son. We’ll find your Pa and bring him home, safe and sound. I promise!”

Roy could only cross his heart and pray that he wasn’t too late.
