CHAPTER 25 - The heart wants what it wants

Hank O’Grady watched his son, Ricky, enter his office and knew just what was on his mind.

It was Cindy, Cindy Preston. She was the only thing the kid had thought about since coming home from college and discovering that the cute girl had blossomed into a sex kitten.

Ricky took a seat on the corner of the desk. He was 23, good looking, and spoiled rotten. Cindy’s rejection of his advances had only made him want her more, and he was convinced that he loved her and that they were meant to be man and wife.

When at home, Ricky was treated like a prince and was O’Grady’s only son. O’Grady had always given him anything he wanted, and was determined that Cindy would not be an exception.

Ricky had cost his old man a small fortune over the years, as O’Grady had paid to cover up his son’s indiscretions, or fulfill his desires, and his obsession with Cindy was proving to be expensive as well.

“Any news?”

“Yeah, I just heard back from Rossetti’s man, some dude named Ramone. He’s going to meet with Joe Preston and hand over Billy and Cindy.”

“It’s like a kidnapping?”

O’Grady stroked his chin.

“I hadn’t looked at it that way, but yeah, you’re right.”

“Are they flying back tonight?”

“I have the pilot standing by in Vegas.”

“I should have gone with them.”

O’Grady shook his head.

“No, it might get dangerous out there and I’m not putting you in harm’s way.”

Ricky stood up with concern showing on his face.

“Nothing bad better happen to Cindy.”

“It won’t. I meant that the trouble would start after we get her back, that’s when the boys are going to teach that Rossetti a hard lesson.”

Ricky paced about the room, his eyes bright.

“I can’t wait to see Cindy again, and this time she’ll come around, I know she will, and then we’ll marry.”

O’Grady smiled, pleased to see his son happy.

“Once you marry that girl, I want grandsons.”

Ricky stopped pacing and stared at his father; he then walked over and leaned across the desk.

“What’s to stop Cindy from running away again? She might go off looking for Billy, or he might come back here.”

“That’s not going to happen, because it won’t be possible.”

“What do you mean?”

O’Grady waved off the question, thinking that Ricky was too young or too weak to hear the truth, but then he reconsidered.

“Listen, boy, you’ll be running this ranch someday and so you might as well know something right now; sometimes you have to play for keeps, do you get me?”

Ricky straightened, as his eyebrows went up in surprise.

“You’re going to have Billy killed?”

“Yeah, accident or not, the boy stabbed you, he doesn’t get to live after that.”

“Are they bringing him back here?”

“No, Joe Preston will probably drive his ass out into the Nevada desert and put a bullet in his brain.”

“Too bad,” Ricky said, as his eyes narrowed in hate. “If Billy came back here, I’d kill him myself.”

O’Grady beamed at his son. The kid had grit after all, and he realized that the ranch would someday be in safe hands.
