The three made their way through ancient rock formations, past dusty plants and old bones. Finally, they came to a hill. All around them were signs of death and decay. Valley of Tears was an appropriate name for the sad and empty place.

“That’s far enough,” Collins said.

Rebecca and Danny stopped. Collins came up behind them, gun raised. Slowly, Rebecca turned, pulling her son close. She stared at Collins. This was the man her husband had trusted with his life. The man Dan’s father had trusted with his life. And yet here he was, about to kill them both. And for what? Money given to him by a horrible outlaw. Pity filled Rebecca’s eyes and Collins looked away.

“Don’t look at me,” he said.

“He loved you,” Rebecca replied simply.

The words hit home and Collins winced. “I said, don’t look at me.”

She turned away. Holding Danny tightly, she braced herself. The wind whistled through the rocks and then—

BANG! BANG!

Rebecca flinched, ready for the pain to follow the shots. But no pain came. Opening her eyes, she saw that Collins had fired the gun—at the dirt.

“Run,” he said. When she hesitated, he pushed her. “Please, run!”

This time, Rebecca didn’t hesitate. She grabbed Danny’s hand, and they began to sprint down the rocky hill, slipping and sliding as it became steeper and steeper. Suddenly, Rebecca lost her footing and fell, landing hard and splitting open her brow. Danny bent down and tried to lift her, but he was too weak. They both fell back to the ground. Stifling a cry, the young boy looked around for something, anything, to help him. And then he heard the rhythmic pounding of hoofbeats.

His eyes grew wide as a rider raced up to them. There was a bang! And behind them, Collins fell back, dead.

Danny let out a sigh of relief. They had been saved…but by whom?
