Preacher patted him on the shoulders and smiled. They walked briskly, leading the two horses into the front yard, and approached the house.
“Coop, take these two horses and lead them down the trail. I’ve sent everyone to the woods. Join up with them, establish a secured perimeter, and take care of them. You’re in charge, Coop. Can you handle it?”
“Yessir,” Cooper replied respectfully. “But why aren’t you coming?”
“I’m gonna hold them off and give you time to get a clean getaway. I don’t want them to see you leading the horses away.”
“But let me—”
“Nope, scoot. We’re out of time. Go!”
Cooper spontaneously hugged Preacher before he took the reins of the horses, which were saddled and ready to go.
Only Cooper’s horse remained. “Preach, the kid took off. You’re alone. Maybe I should—”
“No, Coop. I got this. Now git!”
Preacher followed him to the front of the house and held the reins as Cooper mounted his ride.
Cooper tipped his hat, and Preacher did the same. As Cooper pulled on the reins to leave, Preacher shouted after him, “Texas strong!”
Cooper nodded his head upward in agreement. “Texas strong!”
