QUOTE : You took his guns away from him, didn’t you?” <br />Maude asked Cash when Cash pulled up in front of the <br />house. <br />He nodded. “They’re locked up in my office.” His expression was somber. “But there’s still a pistol and a <br />shotgun in the house somewhere. Crissy told me. You’d <br />better get all the ammunition and lock it up somewhere.” <br />“The minute I get inside,” Maude promised. <br />Tippy glanced from one of them to the other. “You <br />aren’t serious,” she remarked. <br />Cash met her eyes. “If she were my wife, that’s what <br />Maude would be doing for me,” he said flatly. “And yes, <br />I’m serious. Maybe Judd hasn’t realized it yet, but he <br />won’t have a life left if Christabel dies. It isn’t logical, but <br />it’s what some men do when they’re out of their minds <br />with grief. We don’t need another tragedy.
