West’s hand found the butt of the revolver. Simultaneously, he heard the air crack around his ears and a burning pain seared his bare shoulders. West raised the pistol with one hand, but could not summon the strength to squeeze the trigger.

A second crack of the long whip raked his neck. The gun exploded in his hand and the room was filled with a deafening roar.

Behind him he heard Eva scream.

West’s hand contracted again to squeeze off another round, this one aimed at Thorpe’s face a few feet from his. West’s fingers tightened and his trigger finger pulled back, but there was no explosion. West focused on his hand. The gun was gone and he realized it had recoiled out of his numb and nearly paralyzed hand, though he still felt its presence in his grasp.

Thorpe slid forward and retrieved the revolver. He steadied himself in a kneeling position and leveled the gun at West. “You . . . shit. . . .”

West felt the room spinning as he tried to stand. He heard the whirring sound of the whip again but barely felt it as it sliced across his chest.

Eva struck again, three times in quick succession, until West dropped in a heap to the floor.
