Chapter 36

“Damn it, what was all the hollering about?” Kelly said.

“I’m pinned under my horse.”

“I can see that.”

“Why did you shoot at me?”

“To shut you up. Your girlish screams were annoying the hell out of me.”

“Well, you could have killed me.”

“Sure I could, but I didn’t. Just wanted you to be quiet, was all. Did you really think I’d holler back when I wasn’t sure how many bushwhackers were up on the ridge?”

Kelly had been right not to give his position away, and Clayton felt like a fool. “Sorry,” he said. “I didn’t think about that.”

Kelly smiled and nodded. “Maybe you’re just not a deep-thinking man, Cage. Pity, that.”

The words stung and anger flashed in Clayton. “Instead of lecturing, can you get this damned hoss off me?”

“I think so.” Kelly grinned. “I’ll study on it for a spell and let you know.”

“Go to hell,” Clayton said.
