The Town Council Meeting
The Town Council Meeting
“He just wished he had somebody more reliable than Charlie Hicks. The kid was a crack shot with a rifle, but he was young. Coleman didn’t think he’d killed anyone before. He just hoped that wouldn’t stop him from taking the shot when he had it.
Charlie Hicks was scared.
He knew what Arnie Coleman told him was true. Clint Adams deserved to die for killing Big Ed Kennedy. And Charlie was the best shot on the ranch. He knew both of those things were true, but the other truth he knew was that he’d ...never shot anything but an animal before and that was only when he was hunting for food.
He got up on the highest roof he could find and hoped that when the time came he’d be able to take the shot. If he didn’t, he didn’t see how he could stay on the ranch anymore.
“I know who you are, you know,” Barbara Kennedy said to Clint.
“What?”
She nodded.
“The hands were talking, and Arnie Coleman told me that you killed Ed.”
“Did he tell you why?”
“No.”
“Or how he knew?”MoreLess
