    About this ebook

    Mike Clay had a rough night at the football game last night. His Saturday fixing fences and checking cows became worse after he spotted the two four-wheelers roaring out of Canada. The nightmare began when the jerks cut his fence, shot cows, then opened fire on him. How do you stop them with no cell service and no neighbors close enough to help? Sometimes a rancher must do what he has to do.

      The sound came from a long ways away. Mike Clay groaned as he heard it but he managed to roll over and go back to sleep. In another few minutes he heard the voice again, Mike, time to get up. I need you to help me today.

      Mike, do you hear me?

      I hear you. I'm moving, Mike's raspy voice replied. He had yelled too hard last night at the football game.

      A grimace crossed his face as he sat up and swung his feet to the floor. He felt every hit from the opposing lineman this morning. Slipping his feet into some slippers, he trudged to the bathroom.

      After a few minutes in the shower, he felt more human and quickly dressed to head to the kitchen. When he walked in, his mom, dad and sister were already sitting at the table eating. Abbie his sister, said, What's the matter, big brother? Can't take the night life anymore? We've been up for an hour.

      Mike glanced out the east window. The sun just barely peeked out over the horizon. He said, You try letting some of those bruisers pound you like they did me last night. Then let's see how perky you are the next day.

      Dad said, Alright you two. Mike, I need you to go over to the Big Coulee to check fences and the cows. Ed thought he saw a couple of wolves crossing his place. We can't afford to lose any stock to wolves. By the way, good game last night. Looks like Havre might have a shot at going to State this year.

      Yeah, everyone's really fired up. I'll take the four wheeler…

      It has a wrecked tire. I'll try to pick up another one when I take the wheat into town today. I have to make two loads. You'll have to take your horse.

      Aww, that'll take hours. I'm supposed to call Sue about going to the dance tonight. How'll I do that? There's no cell service out there.

      Abbie said, I can call her for you. Want me to get all mushy like you would?

      Mike growled, I hear you've even thought of calling her and I'll…

      Dad intervened, That's enough. I'll drag the horse trailer over by Ole's place and you can take off from there. If you hustle, you should be back by suppertime. I wouldn't ask you to after a game like last night, but I need you to check down in the coulee. The weather forecast calls for a storm tomorrow.

      I can do it, Dad. I'm seventeen and can pull my weight on the ranch.

      Mom said, We know you are, son. Take your binoculars and '.06. I'll pack a lunch and a snack.

      Mike brightened, Yeah, maybe I can get in some shooting at some coyotes. Get ready for hunting season.

      They finished breakfast. Mike and his dad headed to the barn to saddle a horse. They loaded him into the trailer. Mike stopped in the house to get his slicker and a heavier coat. He also grabbed the rifle, extra shells and the binoculars.

      As soon as he jumped into the pickup, his dad took off. They drove in silence for the first five miles, then his dad said, I threw in your chaps and spurs. You do have a rope on your saddle, don't you?

      Yeah. It's still there from when we worked the cows the last time. What's got you spooked, Dad?

      I don't know. Maybe I'm worried about the weather. Looking at those clouds, I'd say the weather man missed his prediction. I think the storm will hit earlier than tomorrow afternoon.

      I'll be alright. I brought my heavy coat and a slicker. Mom packed enough food for three days, like usual.

      She knows you're a growing boy. They both chuckled.

      Another ten miles of driving brought them to Ole's place. When the pickup stopped, Mike climbed out to unload the horse. He slipped the rifle in the scabbard while his dad packed the extra shells and the
