Being six feet tall put him half a head above most men. Seeing his battered Stetson bobbing along might draw unwanted attention from Jack or, more worrisome for Slocum, Tamara Crittenden. She was the wild card in a hand he played in a game without knowing the rules. She had obviously played a role in the silver robbery, but was she now acting as a spy for David Collingswood? Why did she cozy up to Jack, then secretly follow him? Slocum considered the possibility that Collingswood had an entire posse of men out hunting for the train robbers and still used his secretary for the same goal without letting anyone else know. The questions made Slocum’s curiosity bump itch something fierce. He had lost some money to the street thieves, but even if he had been flat broke, he would have pressed on to find the answers to questions bubbling up in his head. That Tamara was a lovely woman didn’t hurt, but she had no problem stealing from her employer. That made her as dangerous as Jack and the rest of his gang.
