CHAPTER 13

* * *

After leaving their horse tied up in a grove of trees, Franks had plucked a lantern that his crew kept hidden in the bushes near where the trail that led along the edge of the Yavapai River began. Though the full moon from several nights before in the ghost town was now waning, it still provided plenty of light that Lijuan almost thought they didn’t need the lantern to make their way up the trail.

Quickly, she pushed that thought out of her head and allowed a very satisfying feeling to sweep over her, and she took the liberty of complimenting herself.

“When you’re right, you’re right, Lijuan!” she whispered to herself under her breath. As they threaded their way along, she knew exactly their destination. She allowed herself grudgingly to give her adversaries credit for picking where they were going as a hideout. A very good choice all and all.

Soon, the roar of a waterfall filled their ears and they emerged at the base of the High Ledge Falls. Lijuan’s eyes scanned over the large pool beneath the falls where she had swum so often with Dutch. Cassandra had been invited along, but that was in those last years where she was still hostile towards her sister. A few years later, everything would change after the day the three of them would never forget—a day that had ignited the same burning desire fueling her hidden anger that burned brightly within her to this very day.

Now was not the time for the past, she thought, as she continued looking about. At the edge of the pool, the water rapidly started tumbling downhill, giving birth to the rapids that Mr. Huang was said to have tumbled into. The reality, though she knew, was that the Chinese businessman was not a decaying corpse somewhere downstream, but was actually behind the falls themselves and with any luck, still alive!

As if Franks was following a play that she wrote herself, he began to make his way up the ragged path that she knew would lead to an entrance to a cave behind the waterfalls. His low intelligence had been obvious to her the moment they met on the streets of Alamieda, but now, this was confirmed, as he had actually went first, telling her to follow.

Even if he had been completely fooled by her act as a cowed female, it was the height of foolishness to turn your back on your captive. Clearly, this man had survived all these years on brawn alone. He certainly wasn’t the brains of this operation. That fell to someone else and she knew for sure who that was.

For a moment, she considered dropping the bag she was carrying in her unbandaged hand and removing her six shooter from the small of her back, and ending it right then with a quick shot to the back of his head. Lijuan fought the urge to do so and stayed her hand. She wanted to see this play out for a little while longer.
