"You'll have to ask Bob that when he gets back."
"Gets back from where?"
"I don't know where. He insisted on following them to see if he could learn where they were going."
"Was he tryin' to commit suicide?"
"Do you think there is much danger?" Sue looked from one to the other.
"Would there be any danger if yer held a sidewinder in yer hand and invited him ter have a free lunch off yer?"
Jack turned pale as Slats was speaking. "But he won't let them catch him," he protested.
"If he can help it, you mean," Slats snapped. "When did he aim ter get back?"
"He promised to get to the ranch before dark," Sue told them.
"Well, I hope he keeps his word."
