Summary:  They blamed everyone but themselves, and dragged the Cartwrights into their revenge.  

Rating:  T  (22,340 words)

Author’s note: This story is PG-13 because a rape happens in it. The assault is not described, but it is part of the story. This is a Hoss story but all others (Ben, Adam, Joe) are featured prominently.
