“It’s kinda funny,” mused Grant. “They wanted to hold an inquest over McKeever today, but they had to put it off until Brick and Silent showed up. Do yuh suppose they ran into somethin’?”
“Who seen ’em last here?”
“Doctor Bridger. He saw them ride out of town.”
“Uh-huh,” Harp squinted reflectively.
“Well, I dunno, Bill.”
Leach walked up to them and spoke directly to Grant.
“Well, does he know anything about them, Grant?”
Grant shook his head and looked at Harp who was looking curiously at Leach. Harp grinned softly. He could afford to grin now, because he knew that Leach had seen him bring Miss Miller to Silverton.
“Seems funny that the sheriff would avoid the inquest,” said Leach. “Perhaps he had a reason for not wantin’ to be here.”
“I’ll betcha he did,” said Harp. “Brick usually has a good reason for doin’ things.”
