Both their places were hit by the same gang and her parents were killed. John here is partners with those men you have in jail. They were tracking the killers, just as Dixon said."

The lieutenant said, "I had about come to that same conclusion. Let's go talk to those men."

The four of them walked over to the jail and entered. John laughed out loud and said, "Captain, I see they finally caught up to you. Never thought I'd see you in jail."

Matt's face was all business. He said, "It's about time you got here, Sergeant. The food's not bad but the surroundings are terrible."

The lieutenant spoke quickly, "Okay, before I apologize, I want you to hear me out. We've been after those killers for so long, I couldn't take a chance. I have a proposition for you men. We're gonna turn you loose regardless, but if we're all after the same people maybe we can help each other. As near as I can figure, this lady's the only one who can actually identify these men. Ma'am, do you think you'll know them?"

"I will never forget them, but I have to tell you something. They might not live long after I see them. They're animals, and they treated me like I was non-human. They thought I was dead and they didn't stop," Carrie said.

The lieutenant said, "I'm sorry for the way you've been treated, Ma'am, I know it must have been terrible for you. Here's my thoughts. Why don't you men join us as advance scouts and let's go after these men. I have the authority to deal with them legally when we catch them, and you don't. If you're an ex-sheriff like you claim, you understand that. What about it?"

Matt replied, "Paul, what do you and John think about it? I'm not your commanding officer any more but I think this lieutenant is making sense. We'll track 'em, find 'em and let the Army handle it. Otherwise, we could get ourselves into some serious trouble at a bad time."
