II

Verge spent most of his savings at the livery getting a horse tacked and suited for travel.

He was three towns west of Constitution, where the sheriff or a posse or both waited to string him to the nearest tree.

He'd managed to live there since his family died without spoiling it for himself. Sober, he did not recall exactly what crimes had been levied against him, just some dim recollection of a gunfight, of blood, of someone falling away from in the blur, clutching their chest with one hand, a rifle in the other.

“You headed far?” the stableman said.

Verge fed a handful of corn to the horse. “Far enough.”

“Heard there was some business up in Constitution. Heard your name said a few times.”

“Business follows me everyplace I go, seems like.”

“Said you shot a lookout at The Wolf and Sparrow.”

Verge mounted the mare, adjusted himself in the saddle. He looked down at the stableman. “You ever heard of Sisco Dent?”

The man blinked, his eyes small and stupid, like a cow chewing cud. “We all heard the story, Marshall. Goddamn have we all heard the story. About all you talked about since.”

“Then you know why I am like I am.”
