They didn’t need the flashlights. “Hunter’s moon,” Andy said. “Or close to it. I don’t think whoever named it that had hunting burglars in mind, though.” The night air was turning cool, and Rhodes wished he’d brought a jacket. “Better burglars than hogs,” he said. “You think they’ll be armed?” “The hogs?” Andy laughed. “The burglars.” Rhodes had mentioned the possibility to Rex, but he didn’t think it was likely, not if the burglars really were kids, as Rex had said. It was always better not to take a chance, however. In Texas even the kids were sometimes armed. “They might be,” he said. “We’d better be ready for them in case they are.” Andy drew his service weapon, a .38 revolver. Rhodes stopped walking, bent down, and got his Kel-Tec from its ankle holster. He’d taken a lot of heat for the ankle holster, but as the sheriff he had a lot of contact with citizens who might be spooked if he carried a handgun openly. Even in Texas there were a few people like that around.
