The four men left before sunup. Preacher figured if they could bring down a few elk or antelope while it was early, he still might be able to pull out from Fort Gifford today. If that didn’t work out, he would leave the next day.

Brown and Mahaffey were friendly enough, even though Preacher didn’t warm up to them immediately. Harrigan was surly. He had polished off most of that jug of whiskey the night before, and he was paying the price for it. Preacher didn’t mind; he figured Harrigan would perk up as the day went along.

Even after being confined inside the stockade walls of the fort for less than a day, Dog and Horse seemed glad to be out. Dog in particular bounded all over the place with an energy that belied his years.

“How old is that critter, anyway?” Harrigan asked. “You’ve had him for as long as I’ve knowed you.”

“Ain’t neither of us spring chickens anymore,” Preacher answered vaguely. “But I reckon we can still get bright-eyed and bushy-tailed on a mornin’ like this.”

It was beautiful, all right, with the sun coming up and spilling red and gold light over the valleys and the snow-capped peaks. The colors were soft at that time of day, like the world was nothing more than a giant canvas on which a heavenly painter spread His brush strokes.

But suddenly, crimson was a bright, hard ugliness as it sprayed out around the shaft of the arrow that struck Bob Mahaffey in the back of the neck and penetrated all the way through so the flint arrowhead stuck out the front.
