Summary
“We’re not in the market for paid killers, I’m afraid,” James says. He means it to come out humorous, to find some charisma left in the sea of grief he’s still feeling. It comes out a little faint instead.
“That’s lucky,” says the rider. “I’m not a killer.”
Dundy makes a slightly frustrated noise. “Well, we aren’t in the market for gunfighters, either. You’re looking in the wrong place.”
“Funny. As I hear it, you already got one.”
The rider is still watching James. Waiting for him to reply, James realizes, which makes him freeze all over again.
He takes a breath.
“How much are you asking for?”
A stranger rides into town. He calls himself Francis.
