John’s horse sidestepped and he glanced up. Two riders appeared on the horizon. Judging by the dirt clods they kicked up in their wake, the men were coming fast. The one on the right was lanky and tall. Familiar. John groaned. Even from a distance he recognized the deputy sheriff.
He tightened his fist around the reins. “Pops, why don’t you round up the girls. We’ve got trouble.”
“What kind of trouble?”
John nodded toward the approaching riders. “The law has caught up with us. Looks like I don’t need to go into town after all.”
Pops threw up his arms. “What in the name of Sam Hill happened last night?” He eyed John, his speculation manifest in his watery gray eyes. “I’m guessing there’s more to the story than what you told me.”
“I might have assaulted the sheriff’s deputy.”
“Might have or did?”
“I hit him.” John shot his cook a quelling glance. He’d hoped to avoid admitting that particular transgression. “It’s a long story and I don’t have time to tell it right now. I’ll meet our company. Let the girls know we have visitors.”
Pops shook his head. “I’ll round ’em up. But you’re on your own after that. I’ve got a stew to finish.”
John glanced behind him at the quiet tent. One thing was for certain, he sure hoped Miss O’Mara unraveled knots as well as she tied them.
