“I’ll round up the other horse,” he said. “Before he’s long gone.”

“Please do find him.” Grace worried her lower lip. “I don’t want another animal in these people’s hands. I won’t let it happen. And I need to get the others back from them. It sounds like they’ve been doing this for a while.”

“How do you plan to do that? Do you know who the kid’s boss is?”

“No, but I’ll be ready when he comes back.” She took slow steps, almost hobbling toward the house.

Jack hurried to take her arm again. “You don’t get it. Horse thefts are big business. If the boss thinks you can identify him, he will make sure you never do. You’re not safe here. Especially with the boy. In fact, he’s more dangerous than ever now because you embarrassed him by making him lose his gun. You won’t be safe until I know who he’s working for.”

“How will you find out?”

“I don’t know yet, but at least I know one thing beyond a reasonable doubt.”

“What’s that?”

“Innocent or not, the danger has only begun for you. And it’s nothing you can be ready for.”
