Chapter 11 - Twelve Cowboys Without a Cook
Walker expected to ride alone.
He was wrong.
Within an hour, Dusty caught him.
Then Perry.
Then Ellis.
Eventually all twelve men appeared.
Walker stared.
“Who’s with the cattle?”
Amos lifted a hand from the supply wagon.
“I hired another outfit to push them twenty miles.”
Walker swore.
Dusty shrugged.
“Can't let somebody steal our cook.”
Perry nodded.
“Also Ellis made breakfast.”
Ellis looked offended.
“It wasn't that bad.”
Everyone stared at him.
“All right. It was bad.”
Walker looked at the twelve men.
These hard, stubborn cowboys had once wanted Josephine gone.
Now they were risking wages, cattle and perhaps their lives to bring her back.
Walker smiled.
“Ride.”
