“Nothing,” Hamp Sedley said, rain dripping off the brim of his hat. “Miles and miles of nothing.”

Shawn O’Brien scanned barren hills misted by the downpour and low cloud. “They must have a camp nearby,” he said. A flash of lightning illuminated the clean-cut planes of his face and added electric blue to his eyes. “Damn it all, Hamp, they must be close.”

“We could search if we had a regiment of cavalry,” Sedley said. “But since we don’t have one of them, I say we head back to town and arrange for the bodies to be collected.”

“Yes, I guess so,” Shawn said. “But who would want to be in Broken Bridle tonight?”

“Nobody. But we got it to do,” Sedley said.

Shawn nodded. “All right, then let’s get it done.”

Rain drummed on Sedley’s oilskin. His face was drawn, dark, without humor. “How long do you give the town?” he asked.

“Who knows?” Then, “Not long.”

“And us?”

Shawn reached into his slicker and brought out a black and silver rosary. He removed his hat and slid the beads over his head and let the cross hang on his chest.

“Bury me with it, Hamp,” he said.
