" ty can you stay on and help for a while? shes going to need some help. you ned to lighten up the numbers on the cows before that snoopy clown from the state catches up and figgures what we did with all those cattle. is it still looking lke rain outside?" ty stepped up" i think i can stay a while my folks knows whats going on. yes its black clouds in the south west could rain any time." " good here s what you do. since ime going to be pinned down here a while, gather all the branded kj cows and calves. cut the oldest cows off , maake a truck load. send them to the auction. then gather the fresh branded cattle put them all in the holding trap at the corrals.. start feeding them hay. if the hay runs short take the cattle check and buy more then take what ever is left and make a payment to the ranch mortgage at DEA explain whats happened and see if they wont extend the note. think you can do that?" katey had been listening and when cleve finished she turned to ty " can we?" " if we get cooking we can, we got to beat the rain. if it hits heavy it will scatter those copws like a mad womans chickens.you gonna behave your self if we dont get back for a few days?"ty didnt hesitate with his answer. cleve nodded "i guess i dont get no choice.. if that bird dog from the state catches up with us it could get expensive." " ok, we are outta here i dont want to get no phone calls on you ok?" katey leaned down and kissed cleves cheek. " if we are father daughter i guess i better act it huh?" she and ty turned to go. " just dont for get me in here!" cleve called after them..
