Chapter Twenty

“I’d say there’s near fifty head missing.” T. J. had met Colt at the house to give him the tally on the cattle lost. “Rustlers.”

Colt strapped on his gun belt and grabbed his rifle resting by the front door. “Round up a couple more men. We’re going to pay a visit to those squatters on the west side. They might not be responsible, but I bet they know who is behind this. Bring what we need to burn down that cabin.”

T. J. had seen that look on Colt’s face before, and it didn’t bode well for the people on the receiving end of his anger. “If they hadn’t had that woman and those two kids with them, I would have burned them out yesterday,” T. J. replied.

“If they’re not gone by the time we get there, it won’t matter to me who’s there. I’ve had enough.” Colt stalked toward the barn to saddle his horse. It had been over two weeks since he last saw Wallace at the picnic, and every day since he’d been met with more problems. His losses were mounting, and he wasn’t any closer to a solution. His men were exhausted from pulling extra duty patrolling the ranch all night for months. He needed to hire on more men, but he couldn’t find anyone who wasn’t already working for Wallace. Hearing the count of his losses this morning was the last straw. He was determined to put a stop to this, one way or the other. He’d danced around the situation long enough, trying to avoid a range war. But if a range war was imminent, then so be it. He was going to do everything in his power to protect what was his. If Wallace thought he was the only one who could play rough, Colt was going to show him, the hard way, how wrong he was.
