THE BIG HORN 4

when con got back into casa grande he went to the sherriffs posse rodeo grounds and unloaded his horses. he had a corral rented there. then he went on down town to the EL RANCHO apartments where he had a one room apartment rented. after a shower and shave he put on clean clothes and went to the corner phone booth and called george and made a appointment to meet him and fawn the following day. he was ready to get on with this project. he just hoped george and fawn were. he rightfully figured that they had no idea what they had bought into. but he decided he would ride this wave just as far as he could. the next day they met at the holiday inn coffee shop. george looked out the window while con explained everything he found. fawn was on the edge of her seat listening and writting down notes on a legal pad.con was almost to loose his temper at george. he never asked any questions or commented but fawn had a bundle. when done con sat back and looked at the two dudes. finally george turned his head and looked at con. " when can you get started rebuilding the improvements"? " ill need to hire a crew, get some equitment together and figure out about liveing quarters.do you want two crews? one for corals and one for the house?" con decided to push this as far as he could. before george could answer fawn leaned in " get a houseing contracter, ill get you some prints for the house. you can get laborers for the corrals?" " as you say. ill start in the morning."con answered. george had returned to his stare out the window. con finally asked" did you get posetion of the brand there or are you going to use another?" " we have one registered already. we will get you the paper work on it." once again fawn answered, george didnt even act like he heard. " we have a ten wide mobil home for you to camp in while your building everythin. as soon as you think it prudent start gathering the cattle, the cash flow will help." fawn was once again lineing everything out "here is a check for expenses. save the recipts. you need more or need to pay for something above that call me. ill watch for your call." george still hadnt turned his head, he was watching a long legged brunette in short shorts out on the side walk. fawn ignored him.
