Chapter 12

Jessie got a text from her mom as she was driving back to the ranch. She hoped it was the proof she needed to go after the record company. She pulled over so she could check her phone. There it was in black and white, signed by Mr. Decker. Now she just needed to find a lawyer

It was so great to be back to an almost-normal emotional state. She was happy and had energy and determination. She sang a new song as it came to her, driving along. “I won’t let you drag me down.” She laughed and sang louder; music was her therapy. She wondered how many other women had been crushed by powerful men who thought they could do whatever they wanted and get away with it. She wondered how many had gone along with their demands.

Back at the ranch, Jessie grabbed a sandwich and a drink and took the dogs for a walk back by the river. She ran into Carson on the way. “Hey, Carson, is Curly back there today?”

“No, the vet took Curly to town. He needs surgery for a hernia.”

It was obvious Carson was worried about the bull. But Jessie couldn’t find even a tiny bit of compassion for that animal. “Well, it will be safe back there, then, I guess.” Jessie took a drink from her soda and continued on her walk. The dogs were anxious to get going.

Carson wiped his forehead with his bandana. “Do keep a lookout, ma’am. We have been known to have wild pigs back there from time to time. I shot one last night, but there could be more.”

They had wild pigs back home, so Jessie knew what to expect if she ran into one. The dogs kept prancing around her, urging her to go faster. Finally, she motioned for them to go ahead. “Go on, y’all. I will be along soon enough.”

She was deep in thought when she heard the dogs barking. She picked up her pace and followed the sound. When she came up to them, they were barking and lunging at something under the bridge. She called them back and walked over slowly to look. It was a tiny baby pig. When she looked closer, it was more like ten tiny baby pigs.

She called Mary on her cell. “Mary, I am back at the bridge, and there is a litter of baby pigs under here.”

“I will send Carson back.” Mary laughed. “Don’t pick one up, even the little ones can be mean.”

Soon Carson arrived with the truck. He was wearing thick gloves and carrying a big burlap sack. One by one he took the piglets and put them in the sack. “I must have killed the sow last night.”

“Are you going to kill these little guys?” Jessie asked tentatively.

“No, if you get them young enough, there is a guy on the other side of town that raises them. I will drop them off over there. Eventually, they are going to be bacon.”

To change that sad subject, Jessie asked.
