A/N: Here's the next one as I promised
Adam wanted to kick some sense to his little brother. He had send Joe to fix some fences on the pastures near the house, Pa was at Carson city for few days and left Adam in charges, otherwise he would have fixed them himself but some paper work needed to do so he had stayed at the house.
By lunch time some ranch hands and come from that the side of the pastures and told him that the fences hadn't been fix and Joe was no where to be seen. Adam felt his hands shake in anger, of course his little brother would find it to be a perfect moment to go town for a drink. Adam cursed himself and send Bill to bring Joe back, because Adam himself hadn't the time and Hoss was working on the lower pastures and wasn't coming home until dinner.
Few hours later when Bill got back from town Adam was mad as a bull, he wanted to kill his little brother. Joe hadn't been in town.
Adam went thru in his head every pretty girls name who could be close enough for Joe to go firth with and prepared a speech for his little brother, a speech Joe would never forget.
At dinner time, when Hoss had rode into the yard unconscious Little Joe - who Hoss had found from the forest near the pasture Joe had worked on - with a bullet in his shoulder, Adam didn't want to kill Joe anymore but the person who had done this to his baby brother.
