“Oh, yes, she fine The old woh”

“Crash, I don’t care about the old woman!”

“Brother, stop yelling at et into the SUV They’re leaving I’ll call you back when I knohere they’re going next Later” The line went dead

Train turned toward Razer as openly curious In fact, several of the other workers aiting attentively for his answer

“No Killyaun”

“She pulled a gun on a fugitive? I didn’t know bounty hunters could carry a gun?” Razer’s expression filled with concern

Train didn’t know if Razer’s concern stemmed from worry of another brother’s woman or Beth’s

“No, the fugitive pulled one on Killya to understand Crash’s predica the incident

“I’lad she wasn’t hurt”
