Chapter Four

Justice got the grill started and looked over at the barn to see if Tuck was on his way in yet.

There was no use starting the meat if Tuck was going to be more than a few minutes longer.

Just as the rangy form came out of the barn, Jig started barking up a storm, going to the top of

the lane where a car was coming up. It was the Sheriff. As the car came to a stop, Justice glanced

back toward the barn, but Tuck was nowhere to be found.

Justice watched the Sheriff get out of his patrol car and came down off the porch to shake the

man’s hand, Jig shutting up as soon as he did, moving to stand beside him.

“Justice Holler.”

“Hello, Sheriff. What can I do you for?”

“Straight to business, is it, son?”

“Sorry. I don’t get many visitors this way. Did you want to come in for a cold drink?”

“Nah, you’re good. It’s almost time to get home to the missus for my grub.” The Sheriff leaned

against his car and looked around casually.

Justice waited for the man to get to why he was here.

“You still out here by yourself?” the Sheriff finally asked.

Justice didn’t stiffen, and he didn’t let himself look at the barn. He nodded, figuring it wasn’t

really a lie. There was just him and Jig and the Sheriff out in the yard. That meant he was out

here by himself, right?

“Yeah? Because Carl Larson said he sent some drifter who fit the general description of this man

we’re looking for your way a couple weeks back.”

Justice shrugged. “It’s pretty isolated out here, Sheriff; it would be pretty stupid of me to take in some stranger.”

The man nodded, his hat bobbing with it. “My thoughts exactly, son. You need to be careful all

on your own out here. I tell you what, I’ll have someone come by now and then to check up on

you as long as this guy’s still thought to be in the area.”

Justice frowned. “What’s he done that you’re suddenly so worried about my well-being?”

“He’s wanted in connection with the rape and murder of a little girl.”

Justice couldn’t have stopped his eyes from widening if he’d tried. He couldn’t believe Tuck was

a rapist or a murderer. The man’s hands were too gentle, those eyes too true. He made Justice

feel too good, and not just physically. “Well, I ain’t no little girl and I’ve got my pappy’s rifles and I know how to use them.”

“Good, good.” The Sheriff wandered back around to the driver’s side of his car. “You make sure

to keep it close, I’d hate to find you dead.”

“I can take care of myself -- nobody’s going to mess with me.”

The Sheriff waved and honked the horn as he headed down the lane. Justice watched until he

couldn’t even see the dust anymore.

Then he turned and headed for the barn.
