Mulgrave and Eunice were making love when the shots fired. Both jumped into the air, then ran naked to the window. A crowd gathered behind the bunkhouse, and looked like trouble.

Mulgrave dressed rapidly, grabbed the shotgun next to his bed, flew down the stairs. His wife followed, shawl flying behind her. They ran out the door, into the backyard, a man lay on the ground.

Clancy made his report. “Gribbs called John Stone out, and you can see who got the worst of it.”

Mulgrave and Eunice stared at the corpse of Gribbs, one of the fastest gunfighters hired. “What was it about?”

“Gribbs thought Stone insulted him,” the ramrod explained. “Thought he could take Stone, but found out he was wrong.”

“You mean to say you just let that happen?” Mulgrave felt himself losing his temper. “John Stone might go over to the other side. What the hell’s the matter with you?”

“If two men’re a-gonna shoot each other, the onliest thing to do is git out of the way.”

Eunice wasn’t worried about Gribbs, but John Stone was danger. She steered her gaze to the ramrod. “In the morning, somebody should have a talk with Stone.”

Mulgrave shook his head angrily. ‘Talk hell. We’re long past that now. If John Stone goes over to Reynolds’s spread, we’ll wipe him out with the others. He’s only one man.”

Clancy cleared his throat. “Two men. Spruance went with him.”

“Spruance is a goddamned traitor, and I want him dead. Are there any volunteers?”

A hand went up on the arm of Sledge. “I’ll do it, sir.”

Clancy said, “I don’t think we should waste time on Spruance. Reynolds’s weak, and we should attack him a-fore he gits stronger.”

Mulgrave winked significantly at Sledge, then took his wife’s arm and headed toward the main house. Clancy waited till they were out of sight, then turned to Sledge. “I saw what just went down ‘twixt you and the boss. If’n you run into Spruance, you might have to fight John Stone.”

“There’s more’n one way to skin a rat,” Sledge replied.
