“I might have found your horse.”
“What? Are you sure?”
“Pretty certain. I had a call yesterday about a ranch missing a cow. Just one, so after looking into it, I was talking with Killian, and he said the M.O. sounded like a case he worked on in Butte a few years ago. It seems the guy who did it was arrested but got probation. He’d been stealing one animal from different ranches and farms to throw us off.”
“Yeah, well, it worked. Is the horse still around here?”
“I think so, but where, I have no idea. I’m working on it with my case.”
“I appreciate it, Creed. Will you be in the office in the morning?”
“Yep.”
“Alright, I’ll talk to you about it then. Let’s hope the snow holds off.”
“Good luck with that. It’s calling for a foot of snow tonight.”
Beau chuckled. “Welcome to Montana.”
“No shit. Talk to you tomorrow.” Creed hung up.
Beau placed the phone back on the table then picked it back up and called Brenna.
“Hey,” she answered sounding breathless.
“Hey, sweetheart. You sound out of breath.”
“I just shoveled off my porch and steps. Dad was going to do it, so I got it done before he had a chance,” she said, and Beau could hear the smile in her voice.
“Yeah, he doesn’t need to do that, but neither do you.”
“It won’t get done by itself, Beau.”
“Don’t you have ranch hands?”
“Of course, but they’re out working, and I didn’t want to add to their chores when I could easily do it.”
“I’m not going to argue with you about it because no doubt, I won’t win.”
Brenna laughed, making him grin. “Smart man. What are you doing today?”
“Not a thing. I got home from dinner with my parents and hit the sofa. More snow is on the way.”
“I heard. School has already been canceled.”
“That’s good, if we’re going to get what it’s calling for. I just wanted to see if you want to go out on Saturday night. If we can, that is.”
“I’d love it. Where to?”
“How about the diner, then Dewey’s? Maybe we can have a nice evening and not run into our exes.”
“Sounds good.”
“I’ll pick you up at six. Is that okay?”
“Perfect. I’ll see you then.”
“Yes, ma’am. Have a good evening, darlin’.” He hung up with a grin.
