Chapter 10

Renda's coming, Karla said tonelessly.

Bowen moved to the door. He looked out, then to Karla close to him in the doorway. You didn't see anything, did you?

She shook her head.

Listen, Bowen said urgently. I want to say a lot of things, but there isn't time. Just promise me you won't

You'd better hurry, Karla said. Her eyes moved from Bowen's. She felt him brush past her. Then, when she turned, she saw him out beyond the two horses, walking across the yard toward the stable, glancing toward the gate as Renda entered the compound.

Lizann said, Is he there? She moved closer to the door in time to see Renda ride over to stop Bowen. There was a silence in the adobe as they watched the two men: Bowen standing in front of Renda's horse looking up at him and they could see Renda was speaking. In front of the barracks, the convicts were watching and now the yard was quiet. They saw Renda step out of the saddle. Bowen's hand went to the front of his shirt and the hand scratched at his stomach idly. Renda was speaking. Bowen nodded. A minute passed, not more than a minute. Then, Bowen nodded again and turned away, going on toward the stable, as Renda caught up his reins and led his horse toward the adobe quarters.

Close to her, Karla heard a soft, exhaling sigh from Lizann. Karla's gaze remained on Bowen. She did not turn, not even when Lizann spoke.

You and Corey have met before.

Karla nodded. Did you give him the gun?

What gun?

That's not the way to help him! Karla turned as she spoke.

I don't know what you're talking about.
