“Since she can’t have et me tossed off the tour” He hadn’t a clue a total lunatic lurked beneath the surface of polished Sheree Bishop, former Miss Rodeo USA Sheree was on the hunt for a husband—a bull rider husband His biggestshe’d switch her affections to another rider once she got wind of his extracurricular sexual activities But Sheree’s determination had only increased

“So this incident, coupled with the one in Lubbock last week…”

His thoughts rolled back to his last PBR performance He’d bucked off at two point four seconds and decided to drown his sorrows at a local honky-tonk Some dumbass redneck made a remark about the superiority of Texas bull riders Given Chase’s shitty mood and four shots of Chivas, he let loose on Texas cowboys being soft, jeering they wouldn’t last a single winter day in the real West Then he added a crack about butt-ugly Texas longhorn cattle not being good for nothing but trophy heads Two Texas guys took offense They dragged hi a Wyo shit out of theot control of his rage, fiveblood fro a little, but still standing

Until the cops tackled him, cuffed him and threatened to arrest him for assault But ten le es They all clai

Because if this ‘incident’ is presented to the public as I’ht back about nepotism with the PBR’s newest Daddy Warbucks corporate sponsor”

“First off, you signed a shitload of nondisclosure forht to be—you can’t violate the terms of the contracts This is short term, Chase Does this suck? Absolutely That’s why the PR arm will release news of a recurrence of your previous injury, which is a perfect excuse for why you rode so shitty tonight after being last year’s defending cha until you’re ready to ride again”

The PR spin onna be involved in issuing the statened PR person, for the last year The woh his bullshit attempts to rattle and distract her Plus, her corated on him, mostly because she was dead-on in her assesss about him that he tried to hide frooes on hiatus for twothree performances instead of eleven”

Chase didn’t exactly relax, but he realized if he was going to fk up, he’d picked an ideal tiht actually have a chance to fix it “Can you guarantee I’ll be on the roster coust?”
