“I got her all ready for ya.”
    â€œNo,” Roman said, his stomach churning at the thought, “that’s okay.”
    Givens turned to the whore and said, “Go get us a bottle of whiskey.”
    She stood up, showing a thick black bush between her legs as she pulled on a thin robe.
    â€œI need some money,” she said.
    â€œYeah, yeah.” Givens dug some money from his pants, which were hanging on a pole. “Here. And don’t take so long.”
    She pulled the robe tight around her and stepped out of the tent. Roman noticed she was barefoot, and didn’t know how anybody could walk around like that.
    â€œWhat’s on yer mind?” Givens asked. “Heard you got yer arm broke.”
    â€œThat’s right,” Roman said, “and that’s what’s on my mind.”
    â€œLookin’ to get back at the guy?”
    â€œThat’s right.”
    â€œWho was it?”
    â€œJust some fellas passin’ through with a loaded buckboard.”
    â€œLoaded with what?”
    Roman shrugged.
    â€œWe didn’t get a chance to take a look,” he said.
    â€œSo the three of ya got taken by these two fellas?” Givens asked.
    â€œJust the one,” Roman said. “The other one was no trouble.”
    â€œOne man braced the three of you?”
    â€œHe surprised us.”
    â€œGood with a gun?”
    Roman hesitated.
    â€œHe didn’t use his gun, right?” Givens said. “Oh, yeah, Lefty said somethin’ about an ax handle.”
    â€œThat’s right.”
    Givens chuckled. He looked around, found what he was looking for, a half-finished cigar. He picked it up, found a match, and lit it.
    â€œWhere is this fella?”
    â€œBest we can tell, he left here to go to Gunnison.”
    â€œWhen did this happen?” Givens asked.
    â€œA couple of days ago.”
    â€œMeans they probably got to Gunnison today,” Givens said. “More than likely they’ll be comin’ back this way eventually. Your arm might be healed by then. Ya don’t wanna wait?”
    â€œI want my revenge while this arm is still hurtin’,” Roman said.
    â€œSo ya want me to go to Gunnison?”
    â€œNot alone,” Roman said. “We’ll go with ya.”
    â€œFour of us, huh?” Givens said. “Ya think that’s gonna be enough?”
    â€œShould be,” Roman said. “He ain’t gonna surprise us again.”
    â€œAny way we can find out who he is first?”
    Roman shrugged. “Don’t know if anybody around here recognized him,” he said. “Maybe in Gunnison.”
    â€œYeah, Gunnison,” Givens said. “Yeah, okay, maybe we’ll find out there. And you’ll pay my price, right?”
    â€œYeah, yeah, I’ll pay your price.”
    â€œOkay, then get out.”
    â€œWhat?”
    â€œThat whore’ll be back any minute with the bottle and I’m about ready to ride her again.”
    â€œAlready?”
    Givens grinned.
    â€œWanna stay and learn somethin’?”
    â€œNo, thanks,” Roman said.
    â€œI’ll come by the saloon later and we’ll make our plans,” Givens said.
    â€œOkay,” Roman said, “but don’t make me come here again, okay?”
    â€œWhy not?”
    â€œI don’t wanna ruin my dinner.”
    â€œYa don’t like skinny whores with a heavy bush between her legs?” Givens asked. “That’s my favorite.”
    â€œYeah, that’s it,” Roman said. “I don’t wanna see the girl naked.”
    Roman left and passed the girl on the way. She was holding the bottle in one hand, and her robe with the other. She stuck her tongue out at him again.

    Clint and Tesla rolled up to the house just before dark, and Tesla heaved a great sigh of relief.
    â€œThank God,” he said. “I thought I was going to have to spend another night sleeping on the
