Saturday Snippet: Trouble with the Law

The following snippet is taken from

Kendrick by Zina Abbott,

Book 9 in the series, Bachelors & Babies

Also Too Old for Babies in the series,

Too Old in Columbia

          Kendrick rounded his counter and reached for the front window to exchange his handmade “open” sign for the one that said “closed” when the door burst open.

          Jeb stood in the doorway. Instead of entering, the man, standing half in and half out, turned and looked down the road in the direction of Main Street.

          His forehead wrinkled and lips in a grimace, Kendrick waved his arm. “In or out, Jeb. You’re letting in flies. What can I do for you?”

          Jeb took one step inside the door, and then he leaned his body back outside to study something down the street that held his interest one last time. He then entered far enough to close the door behind him. With an eyebrow cocked, he turned to Kendrick. “That’s the sheriff out there, and it looks like there’s another man on the wagon with him. They’re headed this way.”

          “The sheriff? As in, the Sheriff Stuart of Tuolumne County who lives in Sonora?”

          “The same.” Too fast for Kendrick to stop him, Jeb again pulled the door open, stuck his head out for less than two seconds, then pulled his body back in and slammed the door. “They’re coming here, if the direction their eyeballs are focused is any indication. Other man has something shiny on his chest, like a badge or something. Well, what I can see of it, considering the bundle he’s got held tight in his arms. What’d you do to get yourself in trouble with the law?”
