“What’s up?”
“Still no sign of Rod Severs.”
Turned out, he hadn’t been at the Trout pool with those three guys. One was Chase Trout, the other two friends of his. Neither were Rod.
Since then, Colt had been running down leads on where the guy might be. Taylor hadn’t seen him.
“He’s had a BOLO out on him ever since the rodeo, but he’s disappeared. I doubt he’s in Devil’s Ditch. Not too many places to hide. The Missoula and Anaconda police know to be on the lookout.”
“So he gets away with it? Hurting Pops, drugging Junior, taking Taylor’s money?”
Colt looked about as happy about this as I felt.
“For now,” Pops said. “I have a feeling he’ll pop back up one of these days. Then Colt will get him.”
Colt nodded.
I looked to Beau. “Colt will get him,” he agreed. “In the meantime, I’m marrying your ass.”
My mouth dropped open when he winked. Then I smiled, leaned and kissed him.
“You sure are,” I whispered. “And soon. ‘Cause I think I might be having your baby.”
And with that, I made Beau speechless. For once.
