““Patience, Andy.”
“Where are they? Could we have missed them?”
Daniel raised his eyebrows, “I don’t think so. A Texas Ranger, his prisoner, and a girl as pretty as Lori? That would be big news in Pueblo.”
“Maybe they changed direction.”
Daniel shook his head. “Lori would have found some way of letting us know.”
“It’s all my fault,” Andy blurted out. “I’m the one they should be after.”
They had camped north of town, a mile away from the road and alongside a river where clumps of trees hid the gaily painted wagon. Fleur had stayed with the wagon.

He’d heard nothing of Nick or Lori or the man taking Nick in. He had seen, however, two men reputed to be bounty hunters. One had hair so blond it looked white.
