Epilogue
The following day Harlan and Corb picked Billy up at the airport in Austin while Virge stayed with Travis.
“Hey, you must be Corb,” said Billy. “Nice to meet you.”
“The boys talk about you a lot, Sheriff Billy. We’re happy you could come to Texas and help us with Dad.”
Billy grinned. “You don’t know how happy I am for that, Corb. I’ve missed my family so much I could barely stand it.”
“Wait until you see our new ranch, Billy. You’re going to love it.”
Up in Northern Ontario, Tammy and Bobby were staying together for the time being. Both fugitives on the run, they took comfort in each other’s company.
Cleo was a big problem. Her hating Tammy like she did, she didn’t want Tammy anywhere near Bobby.
And Bobby didn’t trust Tammy for a second because he was certain she was a bit crazy.
Their relationship was a bit of a stand-off, but in a weird way they were temporarily living together in Tammy’s Mama’s cabin.
Travis’s plans for taking in Juvie boys from the Austin Detention Center was put on hold for a few months until he recovered from his injuries and was able to fix up the bunk house the way he wanted it.
Harlan and Virgil accepted Corb as one of their own and they all shared the work that the ranch demanded.
They often saddled up their horses—Bonnie Grace for Corb—and rode to the back of their new ranch. There were no wild mustangs galloping through their property, but they had a river running through it and they sat on the bank and were thankful for Travis and Billy and their life in Texas.
