DEAN

“This is Dean.” The number comes up as unknown. I’d usually let it go to voicemail but decide to answer it this time since the horses are fed and I’m on my way back to my place. Tully is still in bed judging by the time displayed on my dashboard of the truck. I told her I’d call her to wake her up, but why do that when I can do it in person?

“Hey, Dean, this is Brian.” His name or voice don’t jog my memory. Maybe this is a new client asking me to work with them on training their horse. I don’t usually take on too many horses. Between my own and the ranch there’s always something to do. In the rare occurrence where a horse needs me and the owner really needs the help, I’ll make room. Now that we’ve got three here, there’s no way I can take on another client on top of the ones I already have.

“Hi, Brian. I’m thinkin’ you know me, but I can’t for the life of me place you,” I admit. It’s a common name. Between going into town and other ranchers we know about a dozen.

“My fault. I should have introduced myself,” he says with a chuckle. “Brian from the auction here in Murray.” Shit, I should have guessed that. We go to the damn county auction in the bigger city every couple of months, sometimes more.

“Ah, that clears it up. What can I do for you?” I was about to put my truck in Drive and head home to Tully. Christ, if he’s delivering bad news, I’m going to pretend like he never called, offer him a solid dollar amount, and pray like fuck we don’t have to deal with a shit storm.

“This is going to sound off putting. Hell, it does to me.” Well, fuck. My day started off strong, but now it seems to be going to hell in a hand basket. Brian continues on, “The guy you bought the three horses from.” He sounds as disgruntled as I fucking feel. I’m still dealing with the aftermath of the mess that damn yahoo left behind.

“Yeah?” I don’t remember this guy being a storyteller last time, yet today he sure is taking his sweet time delivering a message.

“He’s back up here today. This time with only one animal and not a horse, a mini-Shetland cow.” I take a deep breath. My mother is going to want the animal no matter what it is, especially after seeing the state of the horses I brought home. “I gotta say this one looks a might better.”

“Gonna have to talk to my family, see what they think. How long do you think you can hold them off before they leave with the cow?” I never did get a chance to call Fletch, between the ranch, the animals, and Tully. Apparently, I’ve put if off long enough if I was the first person Brian thought to call.

“I can give you an hour, maybe suggest they go get some coffee, but after that, I’m not sure.
