âSay, Mike, meant to ask you this right off. Did I hear some gunplay last night, or was that something else I dreamed up?â
âOh, it was gunplay, all right,â Hoban answered grimly. Canavan, stealing a look at him, saw his beady eyes burn. âWe had a hanging set for this morning. A no-good, murdering nester named Lundy. Seems he broke outta the sheriffâs back room some time last night. But instead of hightailing it while he had the chance, the damned fool decided heâd try a little shoot-out with us. We blasted him good.â
âHâm,â Canavan said with a shake of his head. âHe musta been outâve his mind to try anything like that.â
âHe musta been outta something,â big Hoban said.
âSaved you the trouble of stringinâ him up.â
âThatâs right. Now Iâd like to get my hands on the one who helped him break out.â
âGot any idea who it mighta been?â
âI donât think it was anybody from town. I think it was another nester. They stick together, you know.â
âUh-huh.â
âBut weâll catch up with him one oâ these days.â Hoban continued, and his eyes glinted again. âSomebodyâll talk outta turn and give him away and weâll hear about it and grab him. And when we bring him in, thatâll be that. Weâll hang him higherân a kite. You aiminâ to head out today, Mac?â
âNo-o, I think Iâll stay around for another day or two.â
âThatâs good,â Hoban said, nodding.
âAfter Iâve put something away inside of me,â Canavan went on, âI think Iâll go saddle up that mare of mine and run her a little. Stopped in at the stable when I came out of the hotel and looked in on her. She was stamping and fussinâ around like a good feller. Think Iâd better get her out of there before she gets a mad on and kicks down the stall.â
Hoban grinned.
