Chapter Nine

Bodie had no regrets over the deaths of Cagle and Bridger.

They had been asking for a showdown ever since the confrontation back in Madison. They had got what they’d been asking for, and Bodie was damned if he was going to feel guilty about it. The same went for Brad Ryan. The man had deserved to die, Bodie figured. Being fool enough to believe Line Fargo’s tale about sending back help, Ryan had left himself open and defenseless. He had even let Fargo take his horse, the reason being that Fargo had convinced him he needed the animal to carry the statue as the original pack animal was showing signs of tiring.

Greed for the money the statue was supposedly bringing in had clouded Ryan's perception. He was hooked on Fargo’s promise of riches, and had let himself be left behind as nothing more than a sacrificial goat. Fargo had left him behind because Ryan’s wound would have made travel impossible — but he had also figured that if the law did reach the mining camp, then Ryan would put up some kind of resistance, thus holding the law from picking up Fargo’s new trail. Even if a standoff lasted no more than a couple of hours it would give Fargo that much extra time.

Bodie had to admit that Line Fargo worked out all the angles. He didn’t waste an opportunity or miss a trick.

With Cristabel perched behind him, her ripe body pressed tightly against his, her anus wrapped around him, Bodie rode out of the mining camp and began the long ride back down the mountain. judging by what Cristabel had told him Line Fargo had at least four hours start on him. In this rough country it was enough. Darkness would be on them in another hour, and Bodie wasn’t going to get too far once the light had faded. Even with a good moon it was risky business trying to traverse such rugged mountain terrain. But Bodie was determined not to waste too much time. He wanted to reach Fargo and fast.

From the moment Bodie had left Madison, at the start of his search for Linc Fargo, the outlaw and his bunch A had managed to keep well ahead. Circumstances had dictated that Bodie be kept from even getting close enough to see his quarry, and that stung. By this time he should have been able to reach Fargo easily. But it wasn’t turning out that way. First the clash with Lonny Cagle and company. Then the meeting with Sergeant Rostermann and the brush with the Apaches. And then, just when he managed to get close enough to figure he had it all sewn up, Cagle and his partners had almost finished everything. It was like some damned chain around his neck, holding him A back, and every time he thought he’d found the weak spot, some bastard added another few links, pulling him back three steps for the two he’d taken forward.

It wouldn’t happen again, Bodie decided.
