Chapter Sixty Circle J Trouble

Frank and Jessie have been keeping an eye on everything that Matt does when they’re not out on the range.  Tonight they figure they will make their move.  When the other men are asleep in the bunkhouse; they dress quietly and carry their boots outside so as not to make any noise. 

Frank heads to the barn to saddle both of their horses and Jessie slowly moves towards the house.  Two weeks ago, they saw where the safe was located in the office.  One day, Jessie watched Matt place a card underneath the desk cover after closing the safe.  Yesterday, he got into the office and found what Matt placed under the desk cover; the combination to the safe. 

Frank met up with Jessie at the front door carrying an unlit oil lantern from the barn.  The two of them slide inside the front door and moved towards the office.  Inside of the office Jessie strikes a match to light the lantern and removes the combination numbers from the desk.  He begins to turn the combination dial.

For whatever reason he didn’t understand, Matt’s six sense tells him to check around the house that night, he decides to walk barefooted so he doesn’t make undue noise.  He walks around the upper level finding nothing unusual then heads downstairs.
