back and relax. I will have you fixed up in no time."
    I started on the little old ladies hair and after five minutes, she began gossiping. "Did you hear about the Taylor boy who drove his truck into the horse corral? They had to shoot one of the horses after the truck broke two of it's legs. I tell ya, all these kids do nowadays is ride around in those trucks drinking. You'd think the parents would have enough sense to keep their kids at home where they belong. Back in my day this type of thing was unheard of. It's a shame when a farmer has to put down a good animal because of mischievous kids."
    I rolled my eyes, but continued rolling the woman's hair. "I can see where things are a lot different than when you were growing up."
    She nodded her head, even with the hot iron attached to her hair. "Yes indeed. My daddy would have tanned my hide if I brought home a boy like that. He would have chased him down our dirt road with his rifle. You should be glad that you don't have children of your own. I bet that step-daughter of yours is a handful."
    "She's all grown up. She lives with her boyfriend now." I knew I shouldn't have given her that information.
    Right away, I could see the concern on her face. "Are they living in vain?"
    "They aren't married if that is what you're asking."
    "Couples that aren't married and live in sin will go to Hell. You need to get that girl hitched and get her saved before it's too late."
    I could only imagine what she would say about me being married to someone and pregnant by and living with another. "It was her father's decision. Since the two of us are no longer together, it really doesn't matter that much to me. I appreciate your concern though."
    My answer must have pissed her off. She sat in silence until her hair was done. After she paid, leaving me with a whopping one dollar tip, she exited the salon. I let out a sigh of relief as I watched her pull away. After locking the door, I walked over to answer the ringing phone.
    Hello?
    It was the same sounds as before.
    Conner?
    It's only a matter of time, bitch! When you least expect it, I'll be there. You'll be sorry you ever crossed me.
     
    The line went dead and I just stood there, shocked.

 
    Chapter 6
    Conner
     
    Even though the day was halfway over, I knew Ty had noticed that I hadn't gotten shit done. "Dude, you need to get your mind off of that ginger pussy and give me a hand here. We need to finish this fence before Christmas next year."
    The fence wasn't that big. I tossed a rock at him. "Screw you. I got shit on my mind today."
    "Pussy? It's all about the pussy. You throw another rock and I will start texting you pictures of your sister naked, punk."
    I shook my head and started digging another hole for a post. "So, let me ask you somethin'. I got this call from Heather the other night saying she needed to talk to us. You know better than anyone what that bitch is capable of. Do you really think she wants to help, or is she up to somethin'?"
    Ty laughed and picked up another pole. While trying to get it level, he finally looked up at me. "The Heather that I knew was only about herself. After what she did to my wife, I hope she gets hit by a fucking truck. I wouldn't take her hel p if she was the last person on the planet, dude. You know what she is capable of. Tell me you didn't call her."
    I cocked my eyebrow and then gave him a dirty look. "Don't even ask me that, man. I ain't goin' to call that bitch without talkin' to you or my sister first. I just want this shit with Rick to be over. It's not just Amy I have to worry about. I got a kid on the way. It's important that they are both safe."
    We leveled the pole and poured in the concrete to set it. "I get it, bro. I just think that should be the last option."
    I didn't want to tell him that Heather had stopped by the farm. He would just flip out and upset my sister. "I'm thinkin' of takin' Amy to Kentucky. You think Randa could work at the shop for a few days? I want to show her
