Dead of Night (2012)
““You found her.” He dismounted and led the grumpy palomino back to his stall before he joined us. “She all right?”
“She was,” I said as the Arabian began pawing the ground. “Keep your distance.” I led her into her stall, taking off her halter before I came back out and latched the door. “What did you do? Leave her outside all night?”
“Trick put them away after dark,” he told me. “He must have forgotten to throw the latch.”
“Was the barn door open when you came out here and found her... gone?” As Gray nodded, I asked, “Do you think he left that open, too?”
Gray started to say something, and then looked at Connor. “What’s he doing here?”
“He gave me a ride home.” I introduced them, although it was hard to keep the irony out of my voice. Gray knew exactly who Connor was, and Connor hadn’t been forced to forget my brother.
