River Of Fire

Ranger Bill, warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, showing rare courage in the face of disaster, in the air, on horseback, or in a screaming squad cover. Ranger Bill, his mind alert, a ready smile, unswerving, loyal to his mission.

And all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. There's something about a police officer pounding a beat at night that gives everyone a real sense of security. He walks along in the dark with his lead-weighted nightstick dangling readily from his hand while he stops here and there to check locked doors to make sure they're doing their job.

Every once in a while he flashes his light into some dark corner to make sure that only the dark of night is there. The officer on the beat also watches Holmes to make sure there's no suspicious smoke coming out or people trying to break in.

And then he's an awfully nice fellow to meet if you're walking home late at night. Now, in Adi Pine there isn't much in the way of excitement on the night beat, but officers O Rourke and Ryan walk their beats just as carefully.

Let's find out what happens on this night in the story, River of Fire. Come on Patrick, this is the halfway mark in the bridge, my boy. And the Rubeck says you gotta walk to the half mark.

Ryan, you're a hard man. It's too bad you ever learn to read. You drive me to retiring by reciting that rule book every time you look me squarely in the eye. Come on, Patrick, my boy, you can make it if you try.
