Chapter 13: The Boys Go to Tucson

A couple of days later, Chuck and Randy, the newest hands, were heading to Tucson, 35 miles away, for their first days off.

Sam Butler met them as they prepared to leave. "Boys, I want you to have fun but remember you represent High Chaparral. Don't get into too much trouble, and definitely don't make me come bail you out. Understood?"

"Yep, got it, boss!"

They spun their horses and took off at a gallop.

Sam turned to the other two heading to town.

"That goes for you two, too."

Buck and Mano nodded, smiling, then sprinted after the others.
