“I’m not happy, Locke!” Maddox said.

The hall had been cleared of people, and Maddox had several men from the saloon remove the bodies of the men. Katy’s body was still on the floor of her room.

“I’m not real happy about this, either, Sheriff,” Locke said.

“You think the girl was in on it?” Maddox asked.

“Sheriff,” Locke said, “I’m not even sure what ‘it’ was. This could have been two men trying to make a name for themselves, or it could have been about the payroll.”

“You don’t even have the payroll yet.”

“Maybe they figured Cooper would have to collect it alone, and he’d be easier pickings without me.”

“Well, I don’t know either one of those men,” the lawman said. “They’re not local. My bet would be they recognized you and wanted to make a name.”

“And the girl?”

Maddox rubbed his jaw and stared down at her.

“Katy sure was something, wasn’t she?” he asked.

“I never quite found out.”
