Mad smiles. “They’ve finally released my money back to me. I’m going to take Cherie on a very long holiday with her grandfather. It should be… interesting.”
I chuckle. “Whipped.”
“In the best possible way. What about you?”
“Going to visit an old army buddy in Texas. I need to put some space between Kyle and me, for a while.”
“You’re family. He’ll get over it.”
“He might forgive me as his brother, but as his VP?” I shake my head. “Probably not.”
“You’re not going to know unless you talk to him.”
“Did you have a beer or not?”
Maddock nods and opens his fridge, pulling out two cold ones. He hands me one and sits down next to me.
“To family.”
We both twist off our tops.
“To family.”
The ride to my old sergeant’s house takes me the better part of a month. I feel like a coward, but I can’t face Kyle. We’ve spoken on the phone, and he asked me to come back in, but I used my old sergeant as a bullshit excuse, said he needed some help on his farm. Truth is, he doesn’t even know I’m coming.
Last I heard from Sergeant Thomas Trent was he was running cattle on his family’s ranch. We were close when we were both in. I saved his life, and he saved mine on numerous occasions.
I pull into the local gas station, and an older guy comes out. “Fill ‘er up?”
“Sure, man, you good to do it?” I ask.
“Yep.”
I wait until he’s finished, and we both walk back into the gas station.
“You know where I can find the Trent Ranch?”
“Tom’s place?”
“Yeah, he’s an old buddy of mine.”
The old guy scoffs. “I doubt that. Tom’s got no friends. Not anymore, leastways. That’ll be twenty-three dollars and seventy cents.”
I hand over three ten-dollar notes. “Keep the change. And where did you say the Trent Ranch is?”
“I didn’t.”
I put both hands on the counter and lean over. “Well, how about you tell me now.”
The old guy looks me up and down. “The Trent Ranch is ten miles further down the road. Take the first road on the left, then the second right and keep going, you’ll find it. But you won’t find Tom there.”
“Why’s that?”
“Thomas Trent is dead.”
