Chapter Two

An almighty rattling and clattering woke Byron from his slumber. “Sheriff, I ain’t got all day to jest sit aroun’ here waiting ya know.” He had come to dread the whiny drawl of the man currently locked inside the small cell in the rear of his office, his prisoner seemed determined to drive him half crazy Reluctantly he moved his feet from the desk where he had been resting them as he tried to grab just a few moments of much needed sleep. “And you really need to train your damn monkey!”

“Milton Cains, you have all the time in the world my friend, and technically you are a guest in Simon’s bed,” Byron said rubbing his eyes and standing up, a slight smile playing around his lips. He could only assume that Simon had been making a nuisance of himself, the tiny capuchin was very good at that, and his chatter was enough to drive almost anyone mad at times. “He is highly trained, only ever acts out when he doesn’t like someone.”

“Then the critter must hate ma guts,” Cains yelled. “He’s been chatterin’ all night long and when he wasn’t doin’ that he was throwin’ all kindsa nonsense at me!”

Byron would be glad when the Sheriff from Billings got here and took his rather unpleasant guest to the city with him. He was expected later that afternoon, but he couldn’t be here soon enough. Milton Cains had done everything he could to drive Byron crazy. He had barely had a wink of sleep since he had captured the man wanted for brutal murders up and down the state. If Milton wasn’t hollering to wake him up, he was complaining about the food – or rather lack of it – and he was not enjoying being without whiskey one little bit. He had to admit he had purposefully let Simon into the cell just to drive Cains crazy, he deserved a bit of payback. If he was to get no peace, then neither would his prisoner.

Byron stretched his full six foot frame and made his way to the back of the office to confront the annoying man whose company he should finally be rid of by the end of the day. Simon was sat up on the sill by the bars of the tiny window, chattering to himself happily. He had the rind of a squash in his hand, was gnawing on it and Byron could have sworn he was laughing. “Simon,” he said with a gentle flick of his head. The tiny monkey leapt deftly down to the floor, and then leapt up onto the bars of the door, squeezed through and clambered up onto Byron’s shoulder. “I’ve told you before about annoying our guests,” he said with a grin he simply couldn’t keep from his handsome face. Simon looked him in the eye, then hung his head as if he was truly contrite. Byron almost laughed out loud as he saw Cain’s face turn almost beet red with anger at the humiliation being meted out to him.
