As soon as Cody left the garage he noticed something didn’t seem quite right. Having needed to get a new pair of gloves out of the storage cupboard, he’d come out to the garage. He then left through the side door into the parking area. He tipped his head as he stared in the direction where the vehicles were parked. Though it was still early, there was enough light now to see that one was sitting at an odd angle. It was their new SUV, the one they had purchased just a few weeks before, in anticipation of Cherry coming to live with them when they learned she was visiting her sister. It was also the one their women had taken to town the day before. Walking around it, he swore up a blue streak.

“Fuck! What the hell?” The two tires on the driver’s side had been slashed. Pulling his phone out of his pocket, he called Mick. He looked around the surrounding pastures. Cattle grazing, green pastures, some wildflowers, and birds. “Hey,” he said when Mick answered. “Get back to the house. Someone slashed our fucking tires.”

As soon as he ended the call he punched out another number. The dispatcher at the sheriff’s office picked up on the second ring. He briefly told her what happened and she assured him an officer would be there as soon as possible.

Cody wasn’t surprised when the older Preston men showed up with their sons. They all stared at the tires, then off in the direction of the road, as if clues to the identity of the vandal or vandals would be revealed to them.

“Damn strange they only slashed the two tires. And why did they choose this one?” Daddy Joe asked, looking over the collection. The SUV was obviously the newest, but Cherry’s rental was there, as was a newer pickup and their boys’ old pickup.

“Maybe it’s because it’s the newest one?” Daddy Ron suggested, rubbing the back of his neck. “But so is the rental. I’ve never been able to figure out why people do the things they do. But this is just plain stupid.”

Daddy Matt sighed. “Well, we better look around and make sure everything else is okay. Damn, like we didn’t have enough to do already. We need to get those calves separated today.”

“We need to talk to Cherry and Gracie. See if anything happened in town yesterday.”

“Do that. We’ll look around the house, then down by the road, then we’ll go look around up by our house and the barns.” Daddy Joe’s tone was brisk. It was a sure sign he was pissed. He was usually very laid back. “You guys talk to the sheriff. Come along as soon as you can.”

Cody nodded. “Sure thing, Dad. It shouldn’t take too long.”

His brothers lingered a moment, their expressions ones of anger. None of them could remember the last time someone had messed around on the ranch. Neighbors around Silver looked out for one another. If someone had seen something suspicious, they would have gotten a call, giving them a heads up.
