others just feel it.”
“ Rohypnol ? As in, the date rape drug? Why on earth would they drug a man who is out looking for some action, only to beat the tar out of him and dump him out of a vehicle? That doesn’t make sense.” Mrs. Sanders features narrowed. What the assholes who did this didn’t realize, was that they were lucky Mrs. Sanders didn’t get her hands on them. As sweet and sugary as the woman was, she could do some major damage. And may God bless your soul if she got ahold of a weapon. Every new gun the team got, she wanted to shoot. If it weren’t for her age, she would have been recruited and given a sniper rifle to join Vice and Pop her aim was so precise. The woman knew her steel, and had no resolve using it to protect her loved ones.
“Maggie, the world doesn’t make sense. If I had to bet, I’d say this is just another narrow minded bunch targeting the innocent in a hate crime. The sheriff has been fighting more and more lately. Seems they are migrating into the area from Crawford C ounty.”
“Wow. That’s too bad. People ‘round here won’t take kindly to their type. Most ranchers won’t bother the Sheriff, but will rely on their own tactics of ridding Adair County of their trouble. I know once word gets out, the group that did this will have a mighty fine bounty on their head. The stupid bastards are lucky. If the boys would have been here, they wouldn’t have made it out of the driveway unless they were zipped in a body bag.” Michael’s voice made them all turn, unaware of his presence. He stood, leaning against the doorframe loading a Colt 1911. The pistol was an heirloom, handed down from his father when he became a father. He would pass it down to Leland when he became one.
“Mmm. I don’t doubt that. Michael, if you run into problems, give my boys a call. They would be glad to come over and lend a hand. ” His boys, Nathan and Dave , had been childhood buddies of Leland’s , and were anything but boys. Now grown, both stood over six foot six and weighed in at a good two eighty . Giants would have been a better description. His wife, Gale, was a tall slender woman who looked ten years younger than her age. She and Leland’s mom had been the best of friends since Kindergarten.
“Thanks, Wally. I may just do that. I phoned a few of the neighbors and told them to be on the look out. Word spreads like wild fire here. They won’t get far.”
“That it does. I’ll be back tomorrow to check on the boy again. If anything changes in the night, just give me a ring. He should wake up in the next hour or so if you give him the meds like I instructed.”
“Yes , sir. Thank you so much , ” Violet said sweetly. Both Alaina and she hugged him, thankful once again that he came to the rescue. The last scare had been with Lizzy when she fell sick w ith whooping cough last w inter. He was an amazing man.
“I’ll walk you out , Wally.” Michael started toward the door, helping with his bags and gear.
“Thanks, Michael. Listen, if you want, I can see about getting a few tests back here to scan for the exact drugs in his system to use if you all are going to be pressing charges. We have a few hours and can get it to the lab first thing in the morning.”
“Na h , thanks , Wally. I don’t think our justice system can handle this situation as good as we can. I called S heriff Brown and asked what our options were. He gave me the green light to take things into our own hands. He offered his services if needed . This is something that we can manage on a community level to insure the safety of our town. If things get out of hand, chances are this stuff is going to end up in our schools. We can’t have our kids being objected to this stuff, or this type of people , ya know.” Michael’s wink spoke volumes. The good old doc grinned. Michael caught a glimpse of younger days and meaner ways flash across his crystal blue yout hful eyes. Back in the day, he had been the root of mischief
