Many of the ones who did quit had issues with women running things just as much as she’d hoped they wouldn’t.

Now, she was running roughshod over newbies—as a newbie herself.

Yeah, there was one hell of a learning curve on this.

That was for sure.

All she wanted was a quiet day where no one was freaking out.

How did she make that happen?

Did she have to bribe someone?

Unfortunately, she didn’t see that happening any time soon.

When she was working on the payroll for that payday, there was a knock on her door. When she looked up, Deputy Forest Blasi was standing there.

Yep.

Here it came.

So much for quiet.

“Yes, Forest?” she asked.

“Rayna, there’s someone here that needs to talk to you. She’s crying, and it’s about her brother who is missing, but I’m not sure. She’s a hot mess.”

Rayna lifted a brow.

“Really, Forest?” she asked.

He nodded.

“Yeah, from what I could decipher, she thinks something bad happened to him.”

Rayna sighed.

“Who is it?” she asked. “Is it one of our usual suspects?”

Forest laughed.

“Yep. It’s Thomas.”

At the mention of his name, she rolled her eyes. Oh, if she was a betting woman, she’d know exactly which one was in trouble.

“Adsila?” she inquired, using his last name to differentiate. If she had a dollar for every Thomas on the rez, she could retire.

Hell!

There alone were two Thomases who worked for her as deputies.

He nodded.

“Yeah, you nailed that on the first try.”
