As the cow-shaped road sign for Plum Valley, Texas comes into view, I
breathe a silent curse. This sounded like a much better idea last night when
I was still four hours away and the idea of returning was this vague
hypothetical. But now that my wheels are rolling past that big ol’ cow
denoting the border of town, the reality of the situation is smacking me in
the face. I can’t help but wonder if I’m making a mistake, coming back
here.
It’s been ten years since I left Plum Valley. I never thought I’d return.
But how could I refuse? Doc Hanson called me directly and said he
needed help. I wasn’t about to tell him no.
It’s still early morning—the ass-crack of dawn to be precise—but that
doesn’t mean much here. Plenty of folk are already up and about, working
the ranch land or heading that way now, their trucks passing mine on the
dusty dirt roads. A few wave out their windows.
Small towns.
I follow the directions on my GPS to the location Doc Hanson gave me—
the address of the house where over 500 animals were discovered in a
hoarding situation after their owner ended up ill. The man’s daughter came
into town to check up on him after he missed a visit, but what she found
was more than her sick, bedridden father. Neither she, nor anyone else
around here, had any idea that Amos Calhoun had been collecting—and
neglecting—animals of all kinds.
And as I pull down the long driveway into Mr. Calhoun’s property and get
my first glimpse of the absolute mayhem onsite, the reason for my return to
Plum Valley is clear. There’s no way I could have turned my back on this
many abused animals.
“Shit,” I mutter, parking my truck behind another in a long line of
vehicles at the side of the drive.
I grab my gear bag full of medical supplies from the passenger seat but
stall before exiting my truck. My heart is pounding a little too heavily, and
it doesn’t require any guessing on my part to understand why.
My eyes dart around the clearing where countless men and women are
moving about, tending to the organized chaos on Mr. Calhoun’s grounds.
There are cowboy hats everywhere, which makes it hard to get a good look
at faces, but I wouldn’t need to see his face. I’d recognize him from body
language alone, the man who was responsible for my leaving town. And
right now, he’s not here.
Blowing out a breath, I push open the door and step out of my truck. Dust
kicks up when my boots hit the dirt—must’ve been a while since it’s rained
in this part of the Texas Hill Country—and I twist to grab my hat from the
backseat. I’ve barely placed it on my head when a voice calls out my name.
