Scattered Petals
“Lawrence Wood tightened the reins and urged Snip into a trot. There was no point in remaining here. He’d retraced his way to the place where the Dunkler brothers had attacked Miss Morton, hoping to find a clue, knowing he might be disappointed. He was. Rain had obliterated any clues the men had left. Now only the fresh graves remained as evidence of the violence that had occurred here. Even the stagecoach was gone, probably rescued by an enterprising farmer who sought the reward the company off...ered for return of its vehicles. It had been a long shot, thinking he would find something here, but he had to try. He owed it to himself, to the Rangers, and especially to Miss Morton.Lawrence frowned as memories of the beautiful redhead came rushing back, accompanied, as they always were, by worry.

By all accounts, Jake and Chet Dunkler were among the orneriest creatures in the state of Texas.MoreLess
