CHAPTER SIX

EMP PLUS 39 YEARS, TWO DAYS

PRESCOTT, ARIZONA, TERRITORIAL CAPITOL

Horace again strode through the downtown plaza and made the climb up the hill to the assisted living facility where Cory was spending his final days. He was exhilarated at the quality of the piece he wrote, and knew that his glimpse into the private life of the former governor, and his contribution to the history of the partisan movement that was so important the restoration of the Southwest, would propel him to a fame he never before experienced. He was in tears as he finished his article the night before, and he felt as though he finally did something that really mattered. He had taken the action of brave men in a horrible circumstance and made them real to his readers. He stopped at the base of the hill that lead to the home, looked up, and saw Cory sitting on the balcony of his room. He waved at the former governor, who waved back. Horace felt some steel in his spine and resolved to get the governor what he wanted: a truly united United States. He continued up the hill and walked into the reception area, where the same crusty old woman staffed the front desk.

“Seeing Cory again,” he said, noting that every light on her phone was going off, but the ringer wasn’t making any noise.

“We turned the ringer off three hours ago. You created a storm of crap we would rather not deal with.” She waved him toward the elevator with a dismissive gesture and returned to watching the local TV station that was running a story on high school football teams.

Eric entered the reception area from the elevator and walked over to where Horace waited.

“He’s ready to see you.” Horace noted Eric again wore the old .45 hog leg and wondered why he wore different pistols.

“Can I ask why you wear a .45 here and wore the Glock yesterday?”

“I accessorize.”

“Huh?”

“Google it.” He turned and walked back to the elevator. Horace followed and the two men again rose to the third floor and exited the elevator, moved through the room, and out to the balcony where Cory lay on the chaise lounge.

“Don’t bother to hand me the paper,” Cory wheezed. “I already read it, and judging by the phone calls, I would say it was a damn fine piece. Almost cried reading it, but that’s just not me.”

“I did my best,” Horace answered, surprised at how desperately he wanted to please a man who was about to die, and could do nothing more for him. “Can we continue the interview?”

“I’d rather not; but a deal is a deal, so fire away.”

Horace consulted his notes and then said, “I am pretty sure you guys occupied the town of Mayer for a while and that wasn’t too long after your first organized raid. Can you tell me about that?”

“That was about a month after the first raid. We rode to Mayer and took over a small supply base there.
