Rusty and Hannah were due in anytime. Clint and Abby would be there for lunch, it was going to be a busy day at the 4 Bar None. Jake had gone to the barn. He took a cup of coffee and set it on the stall gate top, then picked up a curry comb and turned to his horse. The smell of bacon and fresh coffee drifted through the barn as he opened the stall. "You know, there are advantages a horse has to a bike. You can talk to a horse, but a bike doesn't seem to listen." "Horses have a way of listening when people don't." Deke boomed from behind him. Jake turned to look at Deke with surprise, "Don't tell dad I talk to Custer here, he'll never let me live it down." Deke chuckled. "It's kinda nice seeing you in here, doing something like this, by your own accord. I used to think the only thing you liked was that bike of yours." "Not the only thing…no…" Jake said with a smile. He glanced at his brother and saw the war cloud forming. It was only a matter of time before Deke let it all out. Jake knew from Deke's expression that he'd heard the news.
