Ty listened as I spoke, his eyes never left mine and when I finished explaining, he leaned back in the rocker and sucked on the pipe. "Damn kid, how many times I've told him, damn, damn." I pulled out Rex Hudson's wallet and placed it on the small table next to Ty's chair. "Yep, that's Rex's wallet....

My mind was racing, I stood there watching as the young cowboy ranted at Colbert, "Where's my fucking brother, Sheriff?!" he yelled, not listening to Colbert's explanation. I checked my pistol, making sure the chamber was full, then moved to the left down the street a little. I could see Colbert's...

The both of us were silent. Ben Colbert was staring out of the window. "Jess?" he finally asked, "I need to know you have some proof." I reached into my vest inside pocket and pulled out the wallet I'd taken from the rider I'd shot, and threw it on Colbert's desk, "You know this cowboy, Colbert?" He...

It was around 1:30 when I mounted Barrel for the long haul back to Charlotte. Rose came up to me and threw me a full bottle of bourbon, "Thanks for the water," she said. I touched my hat and said, "I'll be through again, Rose, you take care now, you hear?" She smiled, "Go on cowboy, get the fuck...

Barrel and I made pretty good time and it was late afternoon when we arrived at Rose Cooper's relay station. As Barrel and I headed in the yard in front of the house, Rose stepped out to greet us. She was toting a shotgun. "Afternoon, Rose!" I said as I eased Barrel to a stop. It took her a minute...

I walked over to her and knelt down, checking the wound I just gave her. "You've killed me, you asshole!" Bell said through clenched teeth. "You drew on me Bell, don't draw on a man unless you're prepared to get shot." She laid in the dust, holding her belly. I watched the blood seep through her...

It was 12:30 am when I threw in my hand. The saloon was all but empty - just myself, three other players and a couple of drunks at the bar. Chester was sleeping on the floor by the window. I stood, slapped my hat on and looking down at the three remaining card players said, "Well, gents, I think...

It was around 6 hours later that we rattled our away into the a town of Laramie. Chester pulled up in front of the stagecoach depot and we both climbed down. The passengers were being helped out by staff from the building. I stretched and looked around at this town. Laramie was a lot cleaner than...
