The Road To Ratchet Creek (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
He heard the sound of a horse approaching and turned to see Cole leading up a big, powerful dun gelding. Not having his own horse along, the marshal had hired the pick of the way station’s saddle mounts and felt satisfied with his choice. When he no longer needed the horse, he would hand it over to the nearest Wells Fargo agent who would return it to Coon Hollow in the course of the Company’s trading. Anger boiled inside Conway as he studied Cole. Seen in the light of day, the marshal did not appear so imposing and dangerous as when faced over the barrel of a revolver. So Conway felt moved to protest at what he regarded as intolerable treatment. “The company I work for’s not going to like this, marshal,” he warned. “Was I a man given to the sin of betting, brother, I’d lay odds that you don’t mention it to ’em,” Cole replied calmly. “They might start asking how come you got run out of Utah Territory.” “I’m not sure that you can force me out,” Conway snorted.
