7 Sergeant No Good

The sergeant knew he wasn’t supposed to be spying, but he couldn’t help it; it was in his nature.

The other soldiers were either carping about when they’d get their whisky rations or what they were going to do with the women after the sun went down.

But he had other concerns.

Who was this trapper speaking with the colonel? Where did he come from? And what business did he have here? Then he saw the small leather purse swinging back and forth. He didn’t have to hear the word ‘gold’ or see it on their lips, he could smell it.

The nods and glances over at the corral confirmed what he suspected. The women, children, and Indian ponies had been purchased.

If he had a coin, he’d bet those gold nuggets weren’t the last ones that phony Indian had either. It was human nature. No man—white, red, or plaid—would give away his last bits of gold. For anything.

Hmph! The mixed-breed group was leaving already. The women hadn’t even spent one night in the camp. How was he supposed to strip off their clothes and search for their gold jewelry?

Ah… But now it would be easier to track them. A large group—two mules, two Indian ponies, the squaws, and all those children—would not be able to pass through this terrain without leaving a marked trail.

He shook his head and snorted. But now they had a protector.

A warm smile grew as he realized that it was still only one man against one man. And he was bigger and meaner. He wouldn’t have to worry about the others. Those white women hadn’t fought like the old Indian squaws. Easy enough. Just wait until dark and track them.

No need to let One-Eyed Jack in on this. He had his own plans anyhow.

Or Grant. No one knew—or cared—where he had slithered off to.

Now that he had the money to return home targeted, it was just a matter of aim, search, and grab.

After all, they were just Injuns. No one would care if he offed them. Like Grant said, the only good Injun was a dead one.
