Summary:  In the last of the series, the story is all about Adam, Hoss, and Joe.  There’s a hunting trip with their dogs, a hero who emerges after a case of mistaken identity, and then the plot for their sweet revenge.  Some of this material was originally in the previous story, but when I edited it out, I saved it to create this story.  You may notice how it overlaps part of what happened in that story.
