Infamous Chapter 4

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters

"Ty!"Jack, a cowhand snapped and shoved Ty back up in his saddle. Ty jolted upright and rubbed his eyes " what is with you buddy? That's the third time I've had to shove you back in the saddle!" Ty kept falling asleep and almost toppling off of Goliath. He hadn't been sleeping much since that night out by the waterhole five days ago.

"Sorry Jack. I'll wake up" Ty said and rubbed his neck. Her shifted in the saddle and moved Goliath on.

"You said that the last two times. Next time I'm not shoving your back into the saddle. Let the dang ground wake you up" Jake snapped and rode off. Ty tried to focus on the task at hand, branding claves. He cut a calf from the herd and drove it out to Garrett and some other hands at the campfire. Then he roped it and hogtied it. The others branded it and then splashed some water on the brand before setting the calf loose. They branded calves the whole day and then went back to the house. Everyone went into town because it was Payday. Clint let them have two days off at payday. Most men went to the saloon or to see the woman they had an eye for. Ty stayed at the cabins and tried to get some sleep. He was the only one there, thank god and he loved the pace and quiet. He had almost fallen asleep until he heard a tiny knock on the door

"Who is it?" he said gruffly. He all he wanted was to go to sleep.

"It's Amy" Amy's voice was muffled by the door but she sounded timid. Ty's eyes widened and he sat up in the bed. What did she want? Ty thought and he grinned proudly. He fixed his hair and clothes and pulled on a shirt. He walked to the door and opened it.

"How may I be of service?" Ty grinned and leaned on the door. Amy was standing in front of him wither hair up and a long coat wrapped around her. Some lose hair twirled around her face and she looked up at him with those big eyes that made Ty's heart beat faster. Amy looked

"Since you're the only one left would you like to join us for dinner?"Amy asked looking up at him because he was so tall. Ty's heart dropped a bit in his chest but he was still happy.

"Sure" Ty said and grabbed his hat from the peg. He stuck it on and followed her out of the Cabin. They walked into the house and sat down at the table. Ty took off his hat and Amy took off her coat. She had a plain blue dress on but Ty thought she looked gorgeous. They ate and talked. Ty and Amy glanced back and forth at each other the whole time and Clint noticed. He noticed alright and was happier than a cow in a field of alfalfa. They had steak and potatoes. It was Amy's cooking and it was mighty good. They talked about the cattle and then talked with Amy about all the places she visited when in New York. Ty watched her speak with interest, her rosy lips moved gracefully and her hair tumbled around her, coming loose from its pins. Ty wondered what he mother looked like. If her mother was as good looking as Amy or not. Ty never knew about Am's mother. He decided to ask later. When it was time to say goodnight Amy followed him out. They stood on the cabin porch and Amy looked down blushing. She looked up, her eyes sparkling and said goodnight

"Goodnight" Ty said opening the door and turned back to look at Amy. Amy blushed and stepped into his arms shyly kissed crushed her to him and instinct took over.

Four men rode in the hot Texas sun. Their horse well-muscled and dirt y from long rides in the hot sun and the men looked rugged and tough. Their skin was like leather and had dirt on it. Their hair was greasy but they had big smiles on their face. Bags of money were tied to their saddles. One man, the tallest had dark brown hair and green eyes.

"Well Max how long till we reach Tijeras?" He spoke to a shorter, fatter man riding beside him.

"'Bout Five days ride Rollins" Max said looking at a map. "Should reach a town early tomorrow morning if we stop for the night."

"I want to reach there tonight. I want a bath, a bed and some womanly company" A fair height and weight man with blonde short hair spoke up.

"I agree with Jeb."A tall man with a fat gut said. "Long time since I had those"

"Fine, Doc" Rollins said. "We will ride till we get to the town. Spend a day there then move on. I want to get to that son of a gun, Ty before he moves on. Turning us in! Ha! Good thing we outran those Rangers. Revenge will be sweet"

"Yah! Who thought Ty would rat us out and go straight? "Max said.

"Bet ya he got himself a lady. Knowin' Ty and all. "Jeb piped up and grinned" We can always use her for "leverage" "The whole gang laughed out loud

"Can't wait boys" Rollins said and kicked his horse faster. Ty had no clue what was coming for him...
