Encounter
The next day Adam and Amelia were in town to run some errands. Amelia had to pick up a few things for Hopsing at the Mercantile while Adam went to the Trading Post to collect the mail then to the Cattlemen's Office to talk about the upcoming cattle drive.
Carter was peering through the window of the Mercantile watching Amelia walking to the storekeeper at the counter.
Carter looks down the sidewalk and catches a glimpse of Adam walking down the sidewalk heading towards him. He quickly walks away.
Luckily for him Adam didn't notice him and walks up to the entrance of the store just as Amelia is walking out. "How did you made out?" asked Amelia.
"Pretty good it'll be better when we get the cattle drive done" said Adam. "Did you have any trouble?" Amelia looks at him. "If you are implying that I saw Carter thankfully no and I like to keep it that way". He takes the bags from his sister and they walk over to the buckboard.
Adam puts the bags in the back then helps Amelia up. He climbs up and they rode off not knowing that Carter had loosened one of the front wheels.
They ride down the road heading out of town. As they were riding the wheel starts to loosen and loosen until it finally gives out causing Adam to lose control.
"What's happening?" asked Amelia frighten. "HANG ON!" said Adam. He lets go of the railings to the horses. The horses ride away and the wagon tips over on the side of the road.
