At her and Sam’s surprise, he added, “There’s really not much to it. We just inject them with serum, take care of any cuts and bruises and send them on their way.”
And just as he finished saying that, Ali heard the sound of a Gator. She looked to see if it was Sam’s father, but it was Nick, looking the epitome of a modern-day cowboy inside his mechanized horse, his tan hat pulled low over his brow.
He pulled up not five feet from where they stood, lifted a cardboard box and walked to the cooler.
“You get the wormer, too?” Rand asked.
“’Course,” Nick answered, kneeling to transfer the contents of the box to the cooler.
He didn’t even smile at her.
Ali tried not to feel wounded.
“You ready to get started then?” Rand asked.
“Yeah.”
“You rolling them, or am I?”
“I’ll do it,” Nick said.
Ali waited for him to at least acknowledge her. But all he did was transfer the medicine, stand and then put the empty box in the back of his Gator. When he turned back around, he had a plastic oar in his hand—seriously, an oar.
“Whoa,” Ali said, holding up her hands. “You don’t have to beat me away.”
He looked down at her from beneath the brim of his hat, his lips compressed. “Wasn’t planning on it.”
“Oh, good. For a moment there I thought I was a goner”
“Tempting,” she heard him mumble. “But no.”
He left her standing there.
Well, that wasn’t very encouraging.
“What the heck is that?” she asked Nick’s brother.
“It’s for scaring the cattle,” he said, stepping up next to the pipe-panel fence. The cattle were lined up inside a narrow chute, head to tail, their frightened calls turning to howls of terror when Nick shook the thing above their heads. They charged forward, a few trying to back away. Something clattered shut. Ali looked toward the sound. A ranch hand had shut a panel, locking one cow inside the squeeze.
