It was a hard wait. Slocum was so hungry he could have eaten an entire burro, and he was chilled the moment the sun set in the west. But he was a patient man and the prize was worth the pain, so he chewed on a stick, checked his guns and waited as darkness deepened over the vast and empty landscape. And all the time he waited, he saw only a few people come and go from the hogan; all of them went into the brush to probably take their evening shit.

Once, just faintly, he saw the outline of a big man, and Slocum would have bet his bottom dollar that it was the federal marshal. He raised his rifle and took aim but reluctantly lowered the weapon knowing that in the poor light the odds of killing Custis Long were not in his favor.

And also there was the half-breed, Ira. Brady Slocum knew that Ira was a man to be reckoned with, both among the Navajo and the whites. Ira was known to be a crack shot and an outstanding tracker.

Yes, Brady Slocum told himself, I could probably kill the federal marshal, but then Ira would have the advantage on me, knowing the land and having the support of his family to go against me.

So Slocum dropped his rifle across his cold and rain-soaked pants, bowed his weary head and waited for the moon to rise and light up the night. He did not have a pocket watch but he felt pretty confident that he could judge when it became midnight.

“I’ll have to kill them early tomorrow morning,” he said finally reaching a decision that he did not like. “Wait until they come outside and then shoot them down like a pair of dogs.”
