"Hey, Rip, can you leave our tent up?" Monica asked as Rip, Tessa and Lloyd rode up to the camp, Molly was running by there side. the wranglers had packed most of of the stuff up. "I want to get Tate out here as much as I can this summer."

"Yes, ma'am, I can do that." Rip nods

"Thanks." Monica smiles

"Um-hum. These are the last ones." Ethan calls to Rip a few bags in his hand

"Jake, Ethan, drag them pack horses back. Lloyd, find something gentle for them two." Rip orders, "Teeter, let's saddle that yellow horse - and the white horse."

"Ryan, Colby?" Tessa calls, the two look towards her, "We're running the fence."

The two men climbed on a horse and they took off along the fence lines.

"What in the..." Ryan muttered the neighbouring field had a heard of buffalo walking around

"You think they wandered in from the park?" Colby suggested

"Nah, there's too many fences." Tessa shook her head, "Who are these son of a bitches here?" Tessa adds two people riding around on horse.

"Come on." Ryan said, kicking his horse, "Let's go."

"Hey!" Tessa called, waving them over, "Sporting Club running buffalo now?" She asked curiously

"Sporting Club ain't running shit no more." The older man replied coming to a stop at the fence.

"Yell, well, whose are those, then?" Tessa questioned

"Don't matter, as long as they're not yours." The older men responded

"You got permission to run them things here?" Tessa asks trying to get somthing

"No, I just decided today I'd run some buffalo across a field for no reason." He replied sarcastically

"Yeah, well, I don't want my cattle getting brucellosis from them fucking things." Tessa tells him

"Keep your cattle on your side of the fence." The younger man, assumedly the older man's son replied, his voice raised

"You oughta tell your boy to watch the bass in his voice when he speaks to me." Tessa said, the teen looking for trouble.

"Boy?" He questioned jumping off his horse, Tessa following in suit.

"Don't even..." Ryan muttered jumping off his horse grabbing Tessa by the shirt before she had a chance to do something stupid.

Ryan punched the man in the face and flipping him back over the fence to his side.

"Hey! I'll blow your shit-for-brains all over this field." The older man lifted his gun

"Then fucking do it." Tessa tuanted

"Reserve agent, Livestock Association." Ryan said stepping in front of the girl with his badge and gun up.

"I will shoot you where you stand. Put that fucking pistol down." He yelled

"Reserve agent?" The older man chuckled, "Duttons are still running that scam?"

"We don't know you." Tessa spoke up

"You wouldn't." He tells her, "But your dad does. Tell him Wade Morrow said hello. We'll see each other again, I'm sure."

"You better hope I never see you again." Tessa snaps

"Next time, fight me fair." The man turns to Ryan
