"I'll go," Thad said. Zane looked at him in surprise. "I appreciate the offer, but this isn't part of your vacation. This is hard, dangerous work. Cold and wet, too." Thad shrugged. "I want to help. I can ride and point the steers in the right direction. Will that be enough?" "I'll go, too," Martin said. "Me, too." The last voice came from behind him. Zane turned to see Phoebe leaning against the wall. Maya groaned. "Dammit, Phoebe, if you go, I'll have to, as well. Do you know what this weather is going to do to my hair?" Phoebe smiled. "Wear a hat." "Oh, yeah, that'll help in this rain." "You don't have to do this," Zane said. "Not any of you." "We know that," Thad said. "We're all in this together. Now I say we head out and save us some cattle." Chase nodded. "They're greenhorns, Zane, but there's plenty of them. Without them, we can't get the herd to safety." Zane knew his brother was right. He didn't have a choice. Not if he wanted to save the steers. "Get the horses saddled up," he told Chase. "We'll be out in five minutes." He turned back to everyone else. "Dress warmly. Make the top layer as waterproof as you can." He nodded at Eddie and Gladys. "We'll need some food." Eddie nodded, then grabbed Andrea and C.J. and pulled them toward the stairs. Zane turned to Phoebe, who smiled at him. "They're going to help," she said. He frowned. "I know." "They like you. We all like you." "Oh. My. God." He turned and saw Maya staring at him. "I just got it," she said. "You had sex with Phoebe." She looked at Phoebe. "You had sex with Zane. I can't decide if this is great or too gross for words." Phoebe laughed. Zane walked toward his room. "Just get dressed."
