Chapter Fifty-Six Two Weeks Later

“Hello in the house,” yells Scott.  He hollers a second time.

Standing inside the screen door is Matt Peters.  “What do you want here?”

“We’ve come for a couple of reasons, Matt.  Our family wishes to give you our sympathy over the death of your mother.  We hope that your grief doesn’t cause you to blame yourself for that accident.  Secondly, we came to move the one hundred head the court ordered to the Reynolds property.  Can you ride with us to give us some direction as to where you would want us to remove them from your herd?”

“No, I have things to do here!  Ride east a ways and you’ll find two hands Gus and Dave.  They know what happened in court and will comply with what you need to do.  Take your hundred head and get off our land.”

“I’ll be back another time for those that are re-branded,” states Tyler.

“Good, get it over with.  My sister has decided to stay east after all of this and I’m getting the property set for sale.  I don’t want to deal with things around here anymore than I have to.”

“If you want to sell more of your herd off I would be glad to consider it,” remarks Tyler.
