NIGHT RIDER UP TO TRUCKEE
An original story from Appaloosa Radio
Chapter 5
My Place is at the End of the Road
"In the morning in my hotel room, I looked through the local phone directory to see what else Mescalero had to offer. I also wanted to cross-check the phone number that Stan had given me.
In the slim phone book, I found two listings under “Andersen, Robert.” The first was just a phone number and a post office box number. The second was for “Anderson, Robert, Apache Cattle Buyers Association.” The two numbers were different, and both were different from what Stan had given me.
Since it was after eight in the morning, I decided to call the Cattle Buyers number. I used my most professional voice. “Hello! I would like to speak to Mr. Robert Andersen.”
“This is Bob. How can I help?”
“I’m looking for the Bob Andersen who used to be a music performer, known as ‘Crooked Leg” Bob Andersen. Is that you?”
There was a long pause. “It may have been a long time ago. Why do you want to know?”
“I have some information about David Wayne Kirkby.”
