"El Diablo came through for us again," Hadley was saying with pleasure as he sat drinking at a table in the Cantina del Sol in Rio Nuevo.

For a while there he'd been worried, for there had been no word from El Diablo. But then the message had come detailing all they'd needed to know about the arms shipment. And now they'd pulled off the job and were here relaxing in the border town. The robbery had been bloody. All the guards had been killed and they'd lost two of their own, but the profit they were going to make from the sale of the guns made it worthwhile. The boss was going to be pleased with them.. .very pleased, especially after Del Fuego.

"We got the guns. We're going to make the trade in the morning, and then all we have to do is lay low," Sully put in with a smile. He was feeling quite satisfied with himself, for he had personally killed at least three of the soldiers who'd been riding with the shipment.

"El Diablo has never been wrong," Jones said. "I don't know how the boss does it."

"When news of this gets out, do you realize how feared we're going to be?" Sully remarked.

Luke was standing at the bar, barely able to control his fury as he listened to them. He took another deep drink of his whiskey, trying to drown out the memory of the soldiers who had been slaughtered during the robbery. He'd been helpless to stop the carnage, and it left him feeling impotent and filled with rage over his inability to stop what had happened.

Silently, he cursed his situation. How had he ended up with men like these? They were totally amoral and gave no thought at all to right or wrong. They were men who thought killing just a means to an end, an expedient way to get what they wanted.

True, he'd killed men in his life, but those were times when he'd been fighting for survival. He was not a murderer, no matter what people might say, and it was an abomination to his spirit to be forced to deal with these men. He wanted only to find El Diablo, see him arrested, and get the hell out of there.

"So, when do we meet with El Diablo to tell him the good news?" Luke asked, downing the rest of his liquor as he turned to where they were sitting at the table. He was tired of waiting. He wanted this over with, the sooner, the better. He wanted to get back to the ranch, to start his life over.

Hadley shrugged off his question. "Not for a while. We have to stay quiet and out of sight. I'm sure the army and the Rangers are going to be looking real hard for us. When the time is right, we'll go back. Until then, enjoy." He gestured expansively around the cantina. Liquor was flowing, and the girls who worked there were eagerly luring the outlaws upstairs to show them a good time for the right price.
