And in his office, across from the railway depot, Sheriff Ellis Jager is opening his mail. Kind of strange though, huh? What's it, Chloe? What, I just told you. Hmm? What the conductor said to me, while I was over getting the mail at the depot.

Oh, yeah. He's pretty sure one of those two men that got off of hardwood was Clint and Tag. Well, maybe he's right. Look, if it was Tag on that train, why would he get off at hardwood?

Well, for one thing, he's fridge about halfway between here and there. But Zoe said he wrote her he'd be coming into white stone in the 620 tonight. I've seen some homecomings like this before. It ain't easy.

No, I don't reckon they are. Just seemed funny like him and his other fella getting off a stop early. Who says he was even with the other fella? As that goes, who says it was Clint got off the train at all?

I told you, Joe Hardy. Ah, motion near sight, a conductor in the history of railroad. That's why he looks at things so close. Floyd, you got the making trip of fine deputy, but let me give you a little free advice.
